Hello all my name is Davey. Bought a pair of binoculars a few weeks ago and I am hooked didn't realise how much there is too see in the night sky even with small town light pollution have found a couple of double stars and what I hope was andromeda. Time for a tripod me thinks here's to clear skies at some point.

Hi Davey and welcome to SGL, binoculars can reveal an exciting amount of detail in the night sky, even better from a dark site, enough to keep you busy for a long while to come, especially with the help of dedicated star maps and a good solid tripod mount, your field of view should be rock steady, to give you the best chance of finding those hard to see subjects, enjoy the forum

Thanks for the warm welcome guys any suggestions on a sturdy tripod are more than welcome

Hello Davey from Tim in Western New York State.  It's cloudy here too!  haha.  You will find that overtime you buy a new piece of Astro-gear that the cloud-curse will happen.  I bought a new telescope and it was cloudy for three weeks after that.

Yes, your binoculars will show you a lot of stuff up there.  I'm thinking of getting a new pair and a nice tripod also.  Be careful though, Davey because this hobby has a way of sucking you in and spending your money!  lol.  Seriously though, it's a wonderful hobby!

Welcome and keep us posted with your Astro-adventures.
