I spent more time using the 8x binoculars, and I was pleased. I heard the whistling sound of two ducks flying overhead.

Cr399 (As/Sge) - Attractive in both 8x and 15x

Kemble-1 (As/Cam)- The 8x can't do it justice.

Mel-20 (OC/Per) -

M2 (GC/Aqr) - Detectable in the 8x

M13 (GC/Her) - Seen as it was about to drop behind the hills to the north; dim

M31 (SG/And) -

M33 (SG/Tri) - I was surprised that I could make it out in the smaller binoculars!

M36 (OC/Aur) - I think this is the best of the Messier objects in Auriga

M37 (OC/Aur) -

M38 (OC/Aur) -

M42 (DN/Ori) - Nebulosity visible (8x only)

M45 (OC/Tau) -

M92 (GC/Her) -

NGC 663 (OC/Per) -

NGC 869 (OC/Per) -

NGC 884 (OC/Per) -

NGC 1502 (OC/Cam) -

NGC 1528 (OC/Per) -

Stock-2 (OC/Cas) -
