I have been a binocular astronomer for over forty years, now, but I am still impressed with how much of a difference it makes to make a move to a site that has less light pollution and a darker sky. Beginners
shopping for an astronomy binocular often sweat and lose sleep over the merits of one astronomy binocular versus another astronomy
binocular, either in terms of quality or size, but the differences in performance that result from spending more money or juggling astronomy binocular size is actually tiny in comparison to moving to a darker sky. That's one of the big plusses, though, for using astronomy binoculars - you can take an astronomy binocular almost anywhere. This summer, we plan to do some camping out west and you can be sure one of my astronomy binoculars is going with us.
