I live in Chester UK where the skies are quite light-polluted and the clouds roll in night after night ... so like everyone else, then. I use an Orion Optics 8" Dob on a poncet platform, but mostly a small Vixen Apo refractor, which copes better with the washed out skies, but am offering both for sale so I can grow the refractor and escape to darker skies a half hour's drive away in Wales. If you don't adapt you shrivel up and blow away and at my age that's not something you risk.
