Strange, with these binos it should work when following conditions are met:
* Clear blue sky (i.e. no haze or cirrus clouds)
* Binos should be properly focused (try on an object as far as possible > a few 100 m away)
*
Stand in the shade preventing accidentally pointing at the Sun
Look up beforehand where it is with a star charting app. 8 degrees is one fist width with stretched arm.
