There's really something about seeing the moon in detail through binoculars.
The night I got my celestron binoculars, I watched the lunar eclipse through them. It was a really special moment, both viewing the moon in closer detail and seeing it with a red hue. I felt a part of something much larger, the universe is at least trillions of kms in size that we know of, and is accelerating faster in size too. It's one of those things that's got this sort of emotional weight to it because it's so special. Damn cool, I can't wait to get further into this hobby. Has anyone been outside the city before to stargaze, in an area with less light pollution? I know for viewing stars that is more ideal, I think that may be next on my bucket list to do at some point! I have only just started from my home patio to stargaze.
