They're OK. Some skyglow from Medford, Jacksonville, Central Point,
etc.. in the NE. I seldom shoot in that direction and when I do, I wait

For now I'm shooting with the FS-102; 820mm at f/8, no reducer. In a
few more months, the new observatory will be finished and you'll start
seeing some shots from the 12" LX200 too. If I can remember how to use
it. It will be so nice not having to worry about all the tripod legs in
the dark.
