Last night was a clear sky and the house stood under a million million stars. Some time ago there was a local survey to see if the residents of our village wanted street lighting. They didn't. As there is unusually little light pollution, I suspect the star gazing habit is the reason.
I tried my new bins out. They weren't up to the job, unsurprisingly. It is asking a lot. I tried them on Orion's sighting stars: Rigal, Aldebaran and Betelgeuse. I couldn't hold them still enough for good imagery. The moon had not risen. When it does - the full, blue moon at the end of the month, I will have a look using them then.
