Noice. There isn't too much light pollution around where I live, so I'm hoping to get to see it some time over the next few days if the conditions are right
If you have binoculars you should try using them. Itโs not so much about the magnification, but rather the amount of light collected. Basically, the diameter of the objective lens is bigger than your own eyeball lenses/irises, so therefore more light is collected and projected to your retina while using binoculars.
Iโm in western Canada right now and have so far not had the right conditions to see it myself. Iโm hoping that might change in the next day or two.
Ah, thanks for the tip. I've got a dinky little pair of binoculars lying around, so I'll give 'em a try
