Viewing from the Backyard
 |

 |
| East - rooftops and high trees prevent any early viewing but light pollution not too bad. Moon has to rise some way before clearing the rooftops. | South East - lot of security lights, low garage, tree, telegraph pole and wires, higher outbuildings, tall chimney to snare a low-rising moon | South - best viewing, little light pollution, but outhouse roof can disturb viewing if the Moon is very low. | South West - only for objects high in the sky as there is a row of 3-storey houses in the way! |

| North East - street light pollution, town lights, not too bad for high stars on dark nights. | North - tall, beautiful Lime tree, street lights, town blur, not good viewing! Can just about see Polaris on a dark night | North West, tall houses, street lights, not good viewing - large, high super-duper street lamp nearby. | West - tall houses stop views of Young Moon, have to wait till around day 5 to catch the Moon with the Tal. |
