I'm working on another report myself. A couple of nights ago, we had excellent seeing conditions, not seen for a very long time, and I chose to use my binos. I couldn't resist the opportunity to give the binos a run under great conditions.

Don't forget in the Australian Sky & Telescope magazine, Les D has a section on bino observing.

I look forward to many more reports on here Tony, thanks so much for the report.

Thanks Suzy, bino observing is the best! thinking about selling all my gear and buy binos instead (kidding ofcourse)

One day, when your financial again, you should invest in the adaptor that allows you to fit them to a tripod. Great for when you're tracking down a comet or wanting to share the view with others.

I'm gonna try to convince my mum to lend me 20 bucks so i can head over to local astro shop. They have one for 20 bucks... haha

Great to hear that you're planning more obs reports!

I had no idea what I was missing. I don't know how I managed to live without one (well, a proper one anyways haha)

Go for it Brian! It'll be the best purchase youll make this year
