Planetary Perch Observatory

My home location is quite light polluted (Visual Limiting Magnitude 3.5 deepening to 4 on exceptional nights) so my "observatory" is not much good for the faint stuff, hence the name :-( Should be fun webcamming the planets with a C14. Here's relating how my metal-banger friends put it all together. For other stuff peruse my main website: http://www.samirkharusi.net/

Dear Mr. Kharusi,

Ecellent review on filters for skies with severe light pollution! For me , living in The Netherlands where nights look like days, a real necessity...

Clear skies,
