Fun and interesting video. I started in amateur astronomy as a teenager (too many decades ago...) with my dad's old Soviet-era 8x30 binoculars. I remember exploring all the classics (M45, M42, M31, etc.) on cold winter nights, the moon and even (via projection) the sun. Binoculars are highly underrated instruments for amateur astronomy. My kids are five years old now, and I still have the binoculars. I hope to be able to show them the wonders of the night sky as my dad showed me, 30+ years ago...

It made it look real, touchable and not just a dot in the sky. I also realised the track it was taking towards us and then between us and the sun to become the morning “Star”. It was such a revelation and I was energised to learning more. Thank you for this video it’s also enlightening.

I’m afraid not Quiet Wanderer, I learnt a lot more but never purchased a proper telescope. The knowledge I gained was enough to satisfy my curiosity by working out the workings of the Solar system, the distance between stars, the size of our Milky Way and then the distance to our nearest neighbour Andromeda. I’m still puzzled about spirals, the expanding universe and the speed of light. The Milky Way is over 100000 light years across and I think Andromeda is about 2.5 million light years away. If the universe is expanding the gap between our galaxies is expanding by how much I don’t know. Possibly Hubble knew with Red Shift but if it is significant then the spiral of Andromeda would be elongated, it isn’t so the expanding cannot be very fast. One day I’ll try and work it out but I don’t have that kind of motivation. I’m 70 now, one of Jehovah’s witnesses with more pressing matters on hand but I love the night sky and like you Saturn.

I’m really big on binoculars. It makes nature in general so much more exciting and fun. No tripod, no batteries, shock resistant, waterproof, light and convenient, especially with a good neck strap. I wouldn’t recommend a porroprism like in the video because modern roof prisms now outperform them in my opinion. But hey many astronomy binoculars are still porroprisms so who am I to argue? Start carrying a decent pair of binoculars on a regular basis and watch your appreciation of the outdoors blossom. Wildlife, astronomy, even plant life. Yes plant life because in some places you aren’t allowed off the trail. One of my favorite sayings is that Mother Nature is not a petting zoo, but use binoculars and that matters much less.

Good porro prisms has better light transmision and shock resistance for the price than roofs unless they are the very expensive ones, like Zeiss, Leicas, Swaroskis, Meoptas or the top Nikon, Kowas or Vortex. The great advantage of roofs are their compact size and weight, adn theirclose focuing, ideal por birders and hunters. But top astronomy bins seem to be cost porros unless they are the ultraexpensive Nikon WXs that cost as much a second hand car. The top astronomy bins, the Fujinons FMTSX series, the Canon IS series or the Nikon SP series are all porros,. They are wonderfull optical instrumentd if you do not mind the weight. And since astronomers are used to carry around bulky telescopes, they do not mind. But if you want a bin for day nature watching as well as astronomy get the best roof you can afford.

The 7x50 won’t show you smaller targets as large but you’ll have a much wider field of view and everything will be significantly brighter. Furthermore they’re much easier to keep steady. You’ll see many more dim stars with those as the exit pupil is bigger too.

This is such a wonderful video. I learnt a lot and funnily looking at all the fancy coloured pictures I assumed that's how night sky looked like through a naked eye. Now i know the difference between astro photography, binocular vision and our vision.

I've got all sorts of telescopes but like Biscuit, never really got into the binoculars. Today, I reconditioned a pair of old Jason 10x50s and went on Amazon and bought the Cometron 7x50s. Two cheap pairs that I don't have to worry about too much and my son and I can use them for space or for sporting events. I have a feeling I'll be going deep on binos sooner than later, it's just how I roll... but for now we're covered.

Good video :) I am a binocular observer also .. I have been into amateur astronomy for a long time and have witnessed some stunning sights, at magnitude 5.8 planet Uranus is technically visible with the naked eye, so I always wondered if anyone Arab astronomers in particular had logged observations prior to Hershel's discovery of the planet in 1781. Armed with finder charts acquired from Astronomy and Sky & Telescope magazines, one journeyed to a couple of rural dark sky locations on Moonless nights to see if it could be seen .. in WW2 British Night Binoculars with which Neptune is visible as a dark blue disc it is a fairly easy sight at any time. While the planet was at near opposition and under dark skies Uranus was visible with the naked eye as the merest speck, believe it or not the planet's natural aqua color was discernible .. despite it is just a speck I always felt someone seafarer or Arab who routinely viewed the stars should have been aware of it. One night with the same binocs planet Saturn was like a tiny photograph of itself as presumably a mass of clear air moved overhead, NGC 5128 called Centaurus A appeared in the binocs one time only looking exactly as it does in photos, very low contrast however. The most spectacular sight in my career as an amateur astronomer came while searching for planet Mercury on the eastern horizon one morning not long before sunrise in near daylight, after scanning across the Beehive Cluster which looked like a "bag of dots," M33 came into view as a truly prodigious bag of glittering dots which were individual stars in the Galaxy. The most puzzling thing I witnessed came when I was marking Pluto's position with the same binos .. ok we know that at 14th magnitude Pluto is totally invisible to the naked eye as well it is well below the threshold of the 7x50's, however if you have finder charts you can locate its position. I was doing that one night while the planet was near opposition, I had found a couple of 8th mag guide stars and was searching for 9th mag stars that would if I had the right gear have guided me to the right place .. now understand this was all thru binocs and well below naked eye visibility. Movement caught my eye and there was a light blinking on and off and swinging across an arc of about one and a half degrees like the pendulum on a clock, it had a period of about one second I observed about six swings then took the binocs away, when I went back I could not find it again. Cheers from Brisbane Au.

Hi... I have seen the dust on the seven sisters 25 years ago on a very clean and dark night with a 10 x 70 Fujinon Polaris... that time I also see M51/ 2 cores in a 5" Maksutov with a 26 mm eyepiece.... Nice video.

Thumbnail gave the impression that you were viewing Space through binoculars while IN Space, i.e. from a Space Station or Capsule. Now that would make for some truly out of this world imagery. I do know that modified pair of Leica Trinovids went to the Moon aboard the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. I don’t know if any Astronaut made use of that monocular (“One Small Image for Man…..”).

Girls usually have better eyesight than boys or blokes. This is why they were used to make tiny fusee watch chains throughout the 17th & 18th century. Unfortunately that turned them pretty much blind by the time they hit their 20s but maybe that's why the farmers daughter can see the colour. Also some folk have a much larger colour pallet available to them than others. Some folk see in 16k colours others in millions of colours just like computers. How's that for geeky knowledge!! Great vid.

When I was a kid 1000 yrs ago the night sky was 70% why we went fishing and camping. Us kids rarely bothered with a tent .... the gravel bar our family and a fishing pole were enough. I dunno how to play internet very good though so ya I reckon there's trade off.

One time I saw the reflection of the moon in my swimming pool while I was looking through my telescope in the backyard. So I decided to focus on the reflection of the moon with the telescope and it looked exactly the same as when I was looking directly at the moon.

I love your channel. I have watched every video and I get the feeling you are so excited about what's out there in space and you just want to bring in as many people as possible into amateur astronomy so that they can experience the same joy. The focus on making astronomy affordable is such a great idea. I got myself a pair of binoculars and am starting my own journey and I must say that Sod's law thing is true...the clouds showed up the very first night I took out the binoculars. Its crazy.

In Chicago Lincoln Park near the Beach, I was lying on my back with Orion 10x50 Binoculars viewing a large section of sky. When I saw 2 large translucent or see through UFO Vehicles flying side by side at great speed flying Northeast towards Michigan. I was so excited to see it. I seen this on many occasions. I try to view into the constellations or by large Stars like Sirius to track their flight patterns. Orion Binoculars is the best investment I ever purchased
