Good day Ray, many many thanks for the reply sir. I feel like a 5 year old at christmas, cannot wait to get this sorted and get out there. 30 years of watching the sky at night can do that to a man. I will have a look at the link that you have so generously given me. Many thanks again. catdubbs

Hey up folks.! I was wondering if anyone could help me out please?. I have a small 60mm telescope in my garden but its a very llight polluted area (just my luck). So I am going to purchase a pair of binoculars so I can get about for a few midnight bike rides and peep at the optical delights of the night sky. But.! I am lost on the choice. For instance, do i get 15x70's?, are they light enough to hold and focus?, do i need a monopod?, do i need a tripod? (dont fancy lugging a heavy tripod around in a backpack), do i need smaller binoculars?, I cant really afford two sets so I wouldnt like to buy the wrong size. If anyone could give me a few pointers on this I would be most gratefull indeed. Cheers and have a nice day. catdubbs.
