i do have a pair of binoculars but haven't used them to the look at the sky.. i've tried scouting and although even just seeing the immense amount of stars along the milky way yet to see anything that's really stopped me in my tracks, faint globs is what ive seen to date, not even orion yet and i almost feel silly not having seen that with my 8" reflector !!

the worst thing is besides jupiter and the moon, when friends/family ask to show them more i don't where to look

It may sound a bit hap-hazzard but it's working so far until I train myself better.
Good Luck Guy
