Our "street" is about a half mile from the house, so we don't have that problem. Low clouds, though, are a big problem. (Note--clouds only, no rain, and I'm very tired of this drought.)
The people across the street got a brand new REALLY BRIGHT STREET LIGHT and it's killing my viewing!
GRRRRR.
I have the same problem... I wonder if you can get a laser powerful enough to knock it out?

In early twilight, use binoculars to look very low in the west for the very thin crescent Moon near Mercury, as shown here. The Moon will be only about 23 hours old as seen from the US East Coast, and 26 hours old when twilight arrives on the West Coast.
Thank you Old Sarge. I'm trying to locate an article in Sky and Telescope magazine from about 2 years ago that shows a group of Army astronomers in Iraq with a 127mm Orion Mak-Cass. I'll post it if I find it.
Nice addition; thank you!
Love the screen name, btw ;-)
Forgive my begging for your attention, but I trust your answers more.
What do you think this is? Is it moving?

And, if you are too busy or my ignorance is abundant, I understand.
