Orion nebular through bins

[Pakmoto]

Really can't get over seeing the splendor of Orion's constellation with a cheap pair of £15 12x50's.

I could see the gasses in the nebular as a deep haze surrounding stars, and the colours of Betelgeuse on the edge of Orion.

I had no idea just how good a pair of bins could be, now I'm really looking forward to getting a scope and exploring with more clarity and in greater detail.

Gutted tonight as the skies are covered in cloud, roll on clear skies.

Regards Pak...

if you like what you saw with the bins, you will love what you can see with a telescope

Oh! too true, I'm really looking forward to a scope, just don't want to jump in before I do some more research on scopes.

What time frame do we have before Orion's constellation is no longer visible for us this year?

its best in winter and will be very low or below the horizon in the summer

march, i think

Binoculars are great. I am looking at getting a second pair (8*40) to go with my 15*70

I really like my bins as it is so quick and easy - of course I am savouring and saving for a scope and all the extra delight it will bring

Also I get a massive buzz from the Adromedia Galaxy although fuzzy through bins
