Downside of apartment living

I like my apartment. And I like being "home." Really, I do...


... but it sucks for astronomy.

Admittedly I want a bigger telescope, too, but I've been trying - weather permitting - to catch the Venus-Jupiter-Mercury pairing (tripling?) and I've caught... venus. Jupiter's too low, Venus sets early... and I have rooftops in the way. Blah. (And trying to catch this while weather's semi-cooperative and work is slow, I can't drive out to the middle of nowhere...)
