| Many guests have asked me what kind of equipment they should use to begin their exploration of the night sky. Some are surprised to learn that they already have one of the best pieces of gear at home: a pair of binoculars. After all, binoculars are nothing but two small telescopes joined at the middle. They offer a wide field of view and because most folks already have experience using binoculars, it is a simple and easy way to begin their celestial journey. A pair of binoculars, a red lensed/LED flashlight and a planisphere provide a cost effective and low commitment way to see if see if astronomy is a passing fancy or a passion. | ||
