Sammyb Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hi and welcome to the hobby.What have you been looking at so far and what did you expect to see? Don't expect to see down the eye piece what you see in the astrophotography images.I haven't used the 1145p but I would thought the views would be improved over a pair of binoculars, having said that it depends on what the binoculars are!

Astro Imp Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Have a look at this excellent post for an idea of what to expect at the eyepiece:- http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/196278-what-can-i-expect-to-see/Remember that sky conditions vary night to night and this has a huge impact on what you see.
