Binoculars are great for astronomy, especially for beginners. But many experienced astronomers always have a pair (or two) handy with their telescopes.

Steve will explain various options from simple to specialized, hand-held to tripod-mounted. We'll also demonstrate a set of large astronomical binoculars on a parallelogram mount the the club has just acquired.

We'll then go outside and learn what we can see in the night sky.

Please bring binoculars if you have them.
