geoffers1 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I've just pointed a pair of binoculars at the sky for the very first time. Wow!There is so much to see!And a brief glimpse of the moon. Oh my!I really need to get out with my scope for the first time. Sorry, my noobie excitement got the better of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul schofield Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I agree, pointing a set of binoculars at the skies for the first time is amazing. Just the number of stars that appear can keep me busy for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakanishu Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I still love getting lost and wandering through the sky with binoculars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sologuitarist61 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 That is what it is all about, the 'wow' factor'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAN or ASTROMAN Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I have to concur that the night sky through bins is thoroughly rewarding.Also remember that no matter what scope(if any)you end up with,your bins will never become 'redundant'.

PorkyB Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I spent a very pleasant hour last night in my garden, lying on a sun lounger, looking up with my bins. The wiew from my garden is extremely limited as it is surrounded by tall buildings, last night I could only see Lyra and Cygnus. Even so, there were plenty of pretty doubles, clusters and more stars than you can count.The noobie excitement doesn't wear off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x6gas Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Good pair of bins is probably the best bit of astronomical kit you can buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
