Lung Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) I'm a new forum user, although I've been reading it on and off for many years now. I'm a complete beginner looking to pick up astronomy for myself and hopefully my kids too. I've got as far as identifying the kit I wanted in 2020 but the binoculars (Opticron Adventurer 10x50 T) were out of stock even with Opticron and then I forgot all about them. I'm picking it back up as space seems to be one of the few things my 6yo son is interested in that's not Roblox, and would love to get him looking at the sky.

Alan White Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Welcome Time spent with your son will make precious memories, enjoy. My Dad sat me down with him and his binoculars when I was 5, now a very long time ago and I still observe and remember him with great affection. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
