Web site: The Binocular Sky

[BinocularSky]

I've been playing around and have been developing a web site dedicated to binocular astronomy. Still lots to do on it, but I think I have enough there to launch it "as is":

BinocularSky - Home

I hope you find it useful.

Excellent site, I have been researching binos a fair bit lately since i'm just starting out, and near enough all the info from my 2 day browse-fest is pulled together into one handy site.

Great work!

[ismangil]

Had a quick skim through, looking good!

[thegoatboy]

That's a good web site.

I'll be using that when I want to go out next.

Steve,

A very handy site - now bookmarked - I do skip between binos and my Mak as conditions / whim dictate. Good luck with it and I shall look forward to seeing the site develop.

[marcdearn]

Excellent work...thanks

[Astromart]

looking great - thanks. Now in my favourites

[Black Knight]

Great looking site. Not seen that one before. I was looking for something like this just the other day, funnily enough!

[jasdav]

Great looking site Steve - I've just bookmarked it!

[BinocularSky]

Thanks for the positive comments, folks. If you have any constructive criticisms or suggestions, I'd also like to hear those. I will be re-doing some of the charts!

Ahhh, I didn't realise it's actually your site! . It's really good, excellent stuff!

/must learn to read properly!

Looks good on a quick scan. Your book links are wrong though.. looks like you have a couple of spaces between the amazon url and the remainder of the page location. Easy to get around, but just clicking the link throws an error.

[BinocularSky]

Your book links are wrong though..

Thanks for that; now fixed. (Lesson: do not rely on fancy linking URLs provided by Amazon -- they have random   characters distributed amongst what they generate!)

Thanks for your hard work on this Steve! It's a great site in the making. Especially the object list and the finder charts and descriptions in it - got myself a few targets for tonight off there.

Very good site

[robbie c]

Well done Steve a great site I'm going to find it very helpful

[BinocularSky]

Updated today with some improved finder charts, plus 21 objects for big binocs, plus an "Object of the Month".

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Very nice site, Steve. I do wonder if it is a good idea to expand the objects menu to include not just 50 and 100mm, but also the increasingly popular 70mm bins. I realize this is quite a bit of work, but it might prove popular.

[BinocularSky]

Thanks, Michael. Thing is, I got rid of my 70mm when I got my 100mm. However, if you'd like to lend me your APM HD 15x70 for a year or so when they arrive (or, better, find me some Takahashi 22x60), I'm sure I'd be persuaded to do the work for a dedicated 70mm section. Until then, you'll just have to content yourself with the easier 100mm objects.

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Or I could send you a list of objects I have seen with my current 15x70 binoculars.

[cloudnine]

Looks good and very useful. Now bookmarked :-)

You have a PM.

You have a PM.

As do you;)

Fantastic site! I have saved it as a favorite and will reference it.

Can I refer to it from my website?

@Bob,

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, please do refer to it on your web site which, if I may say, is an excellent idea. I'll add a link to it the next time I update my links page.
