Clouds finally parted for a few minutes, so I dashed out to try my new Oberwerk 8x56 glasses. Intermittent clouds, but high overhead I caught the Pleiades. Very nice Good contrast in these Binos. There is a quarter moon, so I checked it out. Very nice view, chromatic aberrations very minimal. Could make out very good detail, then clouds started rolling in again. Just getting out under the stars, even for a few minutes does me good! Binoculars are a lifesaver when the clouds are uncertain.

Yes...getting out under the stars is the IT!
Binos are the ticket as you have shared here.
Thank you for posting.

Glad that you had a nice session last week. Hopefully you will be able to get out with the new binos again soon.

Hello Mandrew. I agree with the above posts. I have 7x35 and 15x70 binoculars, and they are a great way to check your sky. And, don't sell the binoculars short, as they are still quite handy even after you have purchased a telescope.

In all honesty, even though I own some outstanding scopes, Binos are m “first line of operation” when I go out. I take the rest out when things are stable and not going to change for a while!
