The binoculars I got, about which I wrote in the post below, are just awesome. The night finally came in and we were able to check out the moon, stars, and ocassional airplane passing by.

Image is great! I can’t wait to get a tripod since this 10 pounder gets a bit heavy after a while.

The moon looks AWESOME! You can see the craters with it and there is just so much more detail than ever before. Simply amazing. To give you an idea of how big it looks, here is a mock-up shot:

If you get your eye to about one-two inches from the screen and look at this picture - That is how close it looks like while watching it live! Super detailed and SUPER SUPER bright! This picture above does not do it justice, you’d think it’s the sun you’re looking at how bright and nice it is

So there you go. If you want to look at a moon, get Zhumell 25×100 Astronomical Binoculars (and a Tripod).

Where to buy? Well here: www.binoculars.com They are $250 bucks but a lot less than even a cheap telescope!

My long awaited super-duper astronomical binoculars just arrived !!! Can’t wait for the night so I can watch the stars, the moon and everything in between from here to where ever

Check this out:

  I am in love with stars. I have always been and for the longest time I wanted to have a nice telescope and be able to stargaze all night long. It turns out that good telescopes are in range of $400-800 USD. This is just too much for me to spend at the moment; just being realistic regardless the huge love for the stars - I don’t think I’ll use it THAT much! But there is hope!

After reading some reviews on-line, I realized that getting astronomical binoculars is a better way to go. They are awesome, offering about 25x zoom (which is fine), those telescopes form grocery stores may say they are 650x but they are not. Even the better telescopes out there are around 125x (and they cost a lot of money!).

So, the wait is over. I will kill 2 flies with 1 shot: I will have a really cool binoculars for stargazing - and just ridiculously gigantic binoculars for terrestrial zooming.

I am also a sucker for awesome looking aluminum cases for gadgets and this "little" baby comes in one!

Ebay auction does not end for couple of days but I think I’ll win it. Something’s telling me I must! Once I do win it - I will update the post and tell you exactly the brand of the binoculars and the winning price. Retail price for it is around $350! I do not want to post the name and links now since you may steal it from me, haha. No hard feelings!
