Re: Crisis in observing - need help!

Rony,
Thanks for the reply  . I've decided to keep my C9.25, as the posts here inspired me to get it going again, and I think I've got the hang of setting it up correctly now.
A local astronomy club had a star party a couple of weekends ago, and I went along to that. I'm thinking about joining, as they do have a site that's darker than mine where they try to have an observing session about once a month.
I've started using the 10x50s, as like others have said, they are very handy for a quick look, and it's surprising what you can actually see - the other night, I managed to see the Beehive Cluster, nicely framed by Asellus Australis, Asellus Borealis and Mars! I'm pretty sure I managed to see the Double Cluster as well, but it was quite low down to the north, and conditions in that direction aren't great. I'm off on holiday next week to North Devon, so I'll definately be taking the binos with me - hopefully the skies will be darker than here...
By the way, I have been reading your Binocular Icons series - great work, keep it up!
Regards,
Dave.
