Thanks, folks. (But, jnc71106, please don't: I still need to be able to get the strap of the hand-helds over my head!)

I'm thinking seriously of getting into binocular astronomy. Wanting to buy 2 pairs of bins (opticron 10x50 & Helios apollo 15x70) have got a 8 inch dob but I work nights and struggle to use it often,find myself using my cheap bins more. Binocular astronomy seems a better option for me. Also easier too transport to local park and on weekend trips. I will defo be buying this book :-)

I recently had to sell my dob and eyepieces due to an unforeseen circumstance ,which gutted me to be honest. but im looking at getting a pair of binoculars to keep up the hobby. therefore I think your book might be a good buy. look forward to reading.

Well done on the book Steve. Rory - i think you will get a huge amount of enjoyment in observing with them. In the last month i have used them as much or more than my telescope. Scanning the southern sky around scorpius and sagittarius , and over the last few weeks charting the brightness of the nova in sagitta. Unlike the dob you can sling them over your shoulder to escape the light pollution - you might even see more messier objects !

Never mind Steve you can use this to break the ice at parties. I hope by the way to have my copy in my Santa's sack at Christmas from my nearest and dearest Cheers, Steve

My copy turned up at my new house. Unfortunately my bins (and all my furniture and belongings  ) won't turn up until Wednesday. Still at least I have something to read in the interim. Hopefully by the weekend (weather permitting) I can have first light with my new bins.

Congratulations Mr T, I will most certainly be ordering a copy. Amazon tonight says sold out though! I'll keep trying...

Kind regards
