Looking at the Tanhauser Gate with new bins

[steve1]

Well have been out with the new bins fujinon 16x70,even with snow on the floor,got them on thursday but this is the first time had chance to use them.Mounted them on the manfrotto tripod,very pleased with the view ,have been looking at saturn plus beehive , pleiades ,the moon looked real good and so did the m36 and m38 star clusters,every thing sharp to the edge .The next thing is to build binocular mirror, have got some plans of the net ,and ordered a first surface mirror so looking at the azimuth will be not so neck braking,so come on dark skyes and clear nights ,might even see the Tanhauser Gate :stars:
