Telescope Reviews: Re: Chromatic Aberration on planetary disks

That was indeed a most informative post from the Professor.

I think that sometimes , perhaps some people expect a bit TOO much from a humble pair of binoculars.

When one considers the many thousands of pounds / dollars which SOME people have forked out for telescopes and associated paraphernalia , in spite of these limitations I still think binoculars ( even the most expensive ones ) can provide extraordinary value for money , and countless hours of enjoyment in many different ways.

O.K PLANET observing is NOT really one of them anyway, but watching the Jovian moons altering positions around the main sphere certainly is , and there are certainly many thousands of other things in the night sky that ARE worth looking for in binoculars.

I think this C.A problem can be blown out of all proportion when one considers how few objects relatively speaking , bring about such a problem.

If I see ANYTHING that does not look particularly well in binoculars , I don't tend to waste too much time bemoaning the fact . I move on to something that DOES satisfy me.

Regards, Kenny.
