EP23 - Sunday, 11th October 2020 7:30pm BST - Two Eyes are Better Than One: Choosing and Using Binoculars for Deep Sky Observing by Steve Tonkin

[Grant]

This Sunday at 7:30 we are delighted to welcome back Steve Tonkin ( @BinocularSky )  of http://binocularsky.com/ and https://astunit.com/. Steve has been using binoculars for astronomy since the mid 1960s and, as his main observing instrument, since 2002. He is also the author of the book Binocular Astronomy.

This time, we've asked him to talk about binoculars for us 🙂

Two Eyes are Better Than One: Choosing and Using Binoculars for Deep Sky Observing

The binocular is not limited to being a beginner's instrument and a subordinate adjunct to a telescope, but is an exceptionally valuable astronomical instrument in its own right. Find out how to choose and use binoculars for deep sky observing: discover what makes a good (or bad!) binocular, distinguish between valuable information and advertising hype, and learn how to optimise your observing experience.

Very much looking forwards to this one!
