Something I cant really understand is that the STAR are so small..via the Bino.. it just a dot of light via the bino... nothing else.
wish more detail can be seen.
err....bro...even if you use a telescope, it is still a small dot of light.
It is a star...beside a small dot of light, what do you expect to see?
Hi,ALAN
Sorry to interupt and you may not find it proper to be in this thread but I think every beginner in the hobby of astronomy must know.--They are looking at huge bodies and large scale phenomena.Take the sun for example--just yesterday,at what they call sunspot 1041,I saw within 10 min,a 1.5-2.0 earth size prominence appear then disappear.Just imagine,if you do some calculation you will marval at what you are looking at----it means that those gases are being shot out of the sun at more thar 6km per second--vow!(or around mach 20).
Tha stars is always a dot because they are so far away--some light has to travel a thousand years or so to reach us.Star clusters are interesting and they are a treat in both bino and telescope.You ,I think ,should keep your bino because they are perfect for looking at comets--one of the few astro-objects that show changes in ones lifetime.They come and go unpredicted;so keep yourself in ready status.You will also be able to see craters of the moon -although only big ones--with your bino.My 2 cents.
Ok, I think we should leave Alan in peace to sell his bino. I know there are many well-meaning people here, but the choice is left to him. I don't know, perhaps this bino was an "impulse buy" and now he needs to let it go?
I went to the link in his original post and the website says this bino "produces good quality images of the stars, constellations and land objects." Perhaps the TS misunderstood.
Anyway, good luck on selling your bino!

nothing else.
