It doesn't take much to make a massive change to the nights sky. I'm only 10 mins from where I used to be (Norwich) and the difference is ... Well a bit.obvious from the photo.
Good luck with the telescope, it's the kind of thing that might make a birthday list.

We moved to the dark countryside of Cambridgeshire last year, from the well lit suburbs of Essex.
I’ve spent many a night just standing in my back garden staring at the stars, it just never seems to get old.
My boyfriend bought me a telescope for Christmas which I’m just getting to grips with. The first time I was able to spot the Orion Nebula* was.. something else.
*kinda. Still getting things dialled in, it was more a case of initially seeing a space of “not stars”..

I see it every night in winter, easy to spot, it's pretty cool.
Nice pic OP. Thanks for the share.

Yep, you can see Orion's belt, Orion's sword, and Betelgeuse towards the top.
