Tell me about it. Lots of great info here and I currently drooling over the great pics you guys take. I could really get into astrophotography one day but I'm happy with what I'm doing at the moment. I'm sure as time goes on I'll move up.

Just don't tell me it's once in a life time thing. I'll be really disappointed.

Thanks for introducing yourself, there's getting to be a few more members from FNQ lately.

Sounds like you're making great use of your binoculars, don't forget to keep asking questions and I look forward to more of your contributions on IceInSpace.
Don't you know that FNQ is the best place to be. Did I mention that we have 3 weeks straight of cloudless skies and I was out for most of them Is that another cloudless night tonight I fine the binoculars give a lot better view of the DSO then the telescope. I mainly use the telescope for the planets now days.

It just happens I have to get up for work around that time and was one of the first DSO I tried to find. As I live in South Rocky (city glow to the north) and it's just above a street light It's been a hard one to get a good view of. I'm real keen to make a early morning trip to the north side on one of my RDO's when I get the new binoculars for a better view of it.
