Walaa & Brent.
I know how frustrating it is getting a scope or binos and not knowing what's up there. So if I can help anyone at all to get started, that's fabulous.
For the many years that I had binos, I never knew what to look at- until I joined this forum. I only just looked at stars
. Who knew there were all those delights up there
.
It is indeed so incredible what can be seen out of binoculars - gobsmacking even. On a good clear & dark night, I've even been able to grab Centaurus A galaxy from my light polluted suburb.
It had taken me a very long time looking for it in my scope without luck (since last year), and when I found it in my 10x60 binos, I knew there was no excuse not to be able to find it.
I then proceeded to sketch the surrounding star field of bright stars for star hopping to it, confident I had to be able to nab it in my scope. And I did.
