Jerry,
>In Nebraska, with so many city AND rural farm lights, plus agricultural dust, anything like a green flash, or the Milky Way is almost never visible. The number of good seeing days are limited to right after strong rain storms or to NW Nebraska.
yeah...another nice thing about living in a place where you can get away from the lights...and, we can see the North Star and the S. Cross from here...although, it's pretty low in the sky.
>I have a Mead LX200 but I rarely take it out because the viewing is not worth it. I contemplated CCD attachments but found more fun playing with astronomy programs like XEphem (A Linux freebie!:).
I enjoy having a Planetarium on my Palm.
