Robert,
I live in a city with bright lights everywhere, so I can barely see the sky at night. Pathetic, i know.
You should ask Tom Whiting or Paul Wagner. They are the telescope gurus on this website.

Expertise
I am not a professional astronomer by any means, but astronomy has been an interest of mine since childhood, and I am well-informed on the subject. If unable to answer someone`s question personally, I will know how to quickly find the answer online, because I keep myself informed about developments in the field and I know where to look for information.
Experience
I worked in an observatory for awhile at one point, doing various interesting things with a computer.
