  1. Am I missing something I cant see the attachment? Is it my computer? It sounds great I want I want I want I want!
  2. That’s fab - I always thought it was Ursa Minor too!
  3. Sort of - really helps if you are in a chair, I struggle after more than 5 mins without some sort of support but find the views through them spectacular so don’t mind. My particular bins are viewed a bit like marmite on here - they are not regarded as amazing bins but in terms of value for money I reckon they’re a no brainier. Many on here prefer 10x50s for the comfort and easier to hold aspects, which is true. But I love my bins!
  4. Magnification is largely irrelevant when It comes to telescopes. In theory any telescope can magnify any amount. You have to remember the main idea of a telescope is to amplify the limited light coming from the night sky, not to make things bigger. Your pupil has an aperture of about 6mm give or take in the dark, so a telescopes job is to turn that 6mm aperture into 70 or 100 or 200mm depending on your scope. Magnification is just the icing on the cake - it adds detail to what you are seeing, Binoculars are a prime example, I have a pair of 15x70 binoculars - that’s just 15x magnification but because of the 70mm aperture I can see a lot more than if I were using 15x50s say. And so it goes.
  5. I’ve had good views of saturn at 250x, But 150 is normally the max, same for Jupiter. I often go up to 200x for splitting double stars but honestly do at least 75% of my cruising around at 50x and rarely feel the need to go higher.

    Thanks pal - but seriously they’re deceptively easy, just a case of drawing a blob, smudging aggressively with your finger(!) then shaping with your eraser and adding some pencil dots! Loads of fun!
