Glad that you are enjoying the new binoculars.

There are two impressive things I do with my pair.

1. At a dark site, just swing back and forth around Virgo and be amazed by the dozens of galaxies that pop out.

2. When I have non-astronomy people over and the topic turns to binoculars (there are always bird watching pairs around on a table), I then pull out a pair of 16X70s and show them. "Wow" they all say, what big binoculars! Then I say hang on, and pull out a pair of 20X80s. "Amazing" they then all say. Then I pull out the 25X100s - that's the finale - they are astounded.
Regards,
Renato
