Hi Umberto

Welcome from South Somerset!

Welcome umberto, be prepared to loosen the grip on your wallet once you get more into astro.

Welcome! Good thing that you are enjoying the binoculars - I struggle to get on with them myself.

Big welcome to SGL

Welcome! Good thing that you are enjoying the binoculars - I struggle to get on with them myself.

Fortunately, the only thing I have to compare them to is a toy telscope which is near impossible to see anything through. Moon and milky way aside, I am mostly just using the binos to learn how to "star hop" - To be honest it takes me so long to find anything that the thrill of success makes up for the view being less than impressive in its own right:o. Although I am very tempted to jump in with a proper telescope I want to join the local astro club before wading in.

I know what you mean though. Less the imagination, the view of a DSO through 10x50 binoculars is underwhelming to say the least .
