Used my new binoculars for the first time tonight. I have had a pair of the 10x50 Resolux for about 3 months now and absolutely love them. So I decided to get the 15x70 with the paragon binocular mount. I wasn't expecting too much between the cloud breaks and near full moon, but was surprised to see the rings of saturn plus the moon in the same field of view.
Can't wait to give it a good work out when it gets dark again. I absolutely enjoy ticking off Messier objects with binoculars, but was strugling with some of the fainter galaxies with the 10x50's.
I would be interested to know how many Messiers' people have managed to observe from Australia.
