This is to give an example of what can be seen with what binoculars under suburban skies (on a nice, moonless night of course). I don't have any claim to being...
Wow, Impressive. Do you have a pretty clear view of the sky in all directions. Part of my problem is trees. They are nice for shade, but really block my view....
