Absolute pleasure Steve. Next time you will have to borrow some Televue Plossls and find true nirvana. Many thanks for sharing your 35mm binoculars. The views of the southern milky way is a memory not easily forgotten. I am amazed that something so small and optically simple showed the incredible amount of detail that I saw, especially around crux. Really awesome. I need a pair of those. There is something addictive about wide field views of a really dark sky through binoculars. A vote of thanks to astroron for playing host and being an excellent mentor to the many visitors who come along. An evening under the stars with astroron is probably the best education in astronomy you could obtain.
