Newbie in Oxfordshire

Hi from Oxfordshire.

Does anyone have any worries about this asteroid that will pass between the earth and the moon tomorrow ?

Welcome to the forum and my only worry is that I won't be able to see it because of the cloud cover. If however it is clear for anyone then try this link from the MPML for observing YU55

The Passage of Asteroid 2005 YU55 & How to See It.

Welcome Solo05,

You have made good choices in your binoculars!

I always recommend learning the sky with binoculars before

getting a telescope. Even after you get a scope, you will

find your lesser binocs of great use in making an initial location

spot of your intended telescopic targets.

Your 20x90's are a perfect small stereoscopic instrument for star

clusters, planetary conjunctions and many other objects! The best

of these being comets and their tails, when our sky is graced with

such specticals.

Please take the time to learn the heavens with star maps as well

as your app. You will not regret it as you follow this exciting hobby

through the years.

Worries about the asteroid 2005 YU55? Yes, I was afraid I would

mess up imaging it! Got it, though! I'm very happy!

Happy observing to you!

Bill
