Re: New to backyard astronomy: Celestron SkyScout?



In the meantime, I plan on getting a good pair of binos as was suggested.

I highly recommend mounting the binos, as it is mot possible for most folks
to hold them steady by hand. For an inexpensive and very functional mount
for small (e.g. 10x50) binos, look at the TinyTitan at
www.burgessoptical.com. This mount can be used with even fairly
light-weight/cheap tripods. Mounting the binos is a huge improvement over
hand-holding.
