Hi Steve

I disagree with a statement on the website, which states..

"For under $300, you won’t:

· Make a significant contribution to astronomical research (unless you are absurdly lucky); or..."

Are you aware that a great deal of people undertake variable star observations with binos. And they do not need to be expensive.

Also consider that some people rent / borrow equipment from astronomical societies.

Cheers Petra
