How deep can one go in light polluted area?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Dave, I own a 10" LX-200GPS, and also live in a light polluted area. I can confirm that galaxies & faint nebulas will be quite a task to observe (if possible) since the sky is so bright. Galaxies from my location are barely visible, and if so, they'll be just a small blob, no shape or form visible...

You must find a dark sky area around where you live if you really want to see what your scope can do... you'll be amazed! wink
