Moongazing

I have been following astronomy for more than five years. Until recently it had been reading astronomy books and watching astronomy related videos on youtube, last year i bought myself a pair of stargazing binoculars second hand.

I have used it mostly to moongaze as Hong Kong is plagued with light pollution in even its rural parts, rendered stargazing impossible . With it, I have been able to observe the very cratered surface of our natural satellite.  The binoculars came with a small tripod but it was too small to have any use.  I bought it because i wanted to do stargazing on a budget but it only works with little light pollution and a proper tripod.

A telescope would be better for stargazing but for the moon and the other solar system planets a 80x20 pair of binoculars would suffice.
