4" Meade with Autostar,4" Dob,several 60mm Tasco refractors,
and the generally most enjoyable for my usually non-scientific stargazing,a pair of 20x50 .Also have 7x35 which are somewhat easier to steady.
Not liking the cold hampers the stargazing here as summer weather is often hazy.
All the people escaping the city have installed "security" lights so the horizon is ruined.And the skyglow from all the city lights is easily noted miles away.If there are high clouds they reflect an amazing amount of light down.(I know,if its cloudy you wouldn't see the stars anyway.)
