Hello,
I've been backyard observing now for about two to three years here in Southeastern Ohio. I have Meade ETX 60 telescope with tthree lenses from 4mm to 25mm. I,m kinda of sporadic on my observing as I try to keep up with special observances on especially clear nights. I would say the amout of light pollution is minamal in my area and night view are exceptional where I live. I'm still learning a great bit from this site and other sources about the night sky and I am starting to recognize most night sky obects in our area. I hope to learn a whole lot more.
