Brief Bino Session - 23 Oct 2010

[asteria]

The clouds and rain cleared this PM. I went outside with the Meade 9x63s for a short session. A good look at M39 very high in the sky, and also M29. However, much was washed out by the Moon, very bright and low on the eastern horizon.

....and the rediculously high EP of 7mm

What genius sold you those bins for astronomy ? Do you have another pair ?

Using exit pupils that high under moonlit (and/or light polluted) conditions it´s not surprising things get "washed out"....

Not that I (as a newbie to this forum) have earned the right to criticise yet,

but why do you even bother posting a one line "report" that basically says "Seen nothin" ?

Wondering....
