Re: New to Binocular Observing and Loving It!

I have been a telescope man for 30 odd years but recently I have renewed my interest in binocular astronomy. I aquired a excellent Japanese 15x80 bino about 2 months ago and every night it has been clear I have been using it - even my ED100 is starting to gather dust. Sagittarius, Scorpius and the Crux [Southern Cross]are high over head at the moment and on clear moon less nights the views are stunning.
I think also two eye viewing is just more relaxing and adds that '3D' effect.
Now I have my eye on a 25x100 - maybe a early Christamas present to my self.
I should add - I am a Souhern Hemisphere observer [New Zealand] and if my fellow observers in the Northern Hemisphere have not been down to this part of the world try to make it sometime and bring your biggest bino - you will not be disappointed.
