liers its the moon sideways

@alex98131 Guess you are kidding me ...

[alex98131]

@CumputerPhysiscsLab you cant see venus through binoculars

[cometchaser832]

@alex98131 that's the venus

[Airemix]

What camera did you use to capture this? I've got a pair of binos that I've been using for some stargazing lately, but I don't have any way of taking pictures or videos through them.

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@Airemix I used a point-and-shoot digicam. It's a bit difficult to hold the camera pointing through the eyepiece, but with patience it can be done.

[vibol03]

it is possible to see something amazing stuff in outside space with a 10x50 binoculars? because im ordering one.

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@vibol03 Yes, Orion nebula, Pleiades, Beehive cluster, Andromeda galaxy, Moon, Jupiter and moons, Double cluster at Perseus, ...

[vibol03]

@CumputerPhysiscsLab wow im so excited to see them lol, my binocular is coming tomorrow, thx for answering

[tekkenforever82]

@CumputerPhysiscsLab hi,i am really dumb,but,do you think that 20 x 80 Binoculars will see jupiter or mars,maybe saturn?

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@tekkenforever82 You may see planets as stars, that is nothing more than dots of light. A magnification of 20x is not enough to view details in planets, except on Venus, in which case you can observe the phase quite clearly.

I am not sure, but maybe you could even see Saturn rings with 20x, but it is not going to be easy to do so.

[tekkenforever82]

@CumputerPhysiscsLab do you know what is the best binoculars for watching planets??

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@tekkenforever82 None. For viewing planets the best equipment is a telescope. Binoculars have not enough magnification for viewing details on planets.

[tekkenforever82]

@CumputerPhysiscsLab and can you tell me what telescope is good to watch and not too expensive??

[anshulkamboj]

do u hav stand

[unknowntheif]

here is what i use to view venus with outstanding clear crisp results i could even see the clouds

[pudster420]

further confirms that the brightest star in the western sky during/after sunset is NOT venus

[PatCruiser]

looks like the rest of a watermelon :P

[lukeslandspeeder]

thanks u 2.

[lukeslandspeeder]

sarcassam.

[lukeslandspeeder]

nah u sure?. lol.

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

Sure! Look at the title of the video ...

[lukeslandspeeder]

yup. i had an old meade 110 mm i think it was reall powerful but most of the stuff on it was broken and was missin half the things on it so everything on it was junk except the optics and i couldnt find any replacement parts so i had to let it go. it was a very powerful scope. i could easily see shadows in craters on the moon very close like 20 times closer than the video. it was an amazing scope but i dislike mono viewing. i like binos. you can reall see with binos and 2 eyes.

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

This video is not about the Moon, but Venus. Venus is much smaller apparently than the Moon.

[jnsinclair]

you're a wanker!

[lukeslandspeeder]

pretty good considering most cant even see them its so far away. mars is the same. very hard for binos even mid size ones to see worth a chit. saturn is pretty easy to see. jupiter also. i got a small set of binos and i can see 3 or jupiters moons. reall fun.

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

Thanks. For viewing planets telescopes work better than binoculars.

[Zeethr]

@lukeslandspeeder you seem to know a lot about binoculars. what are the best binoculars to get the kind of views closest to the kind a telescope would capture?

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

@Zeethr Binoculars are good at wide field views, but never as good as a telescope at planets, because their lack of magnification.

[BADAWYY]

Great job !

[CumputerPhysiscsLab]

Thanks! I got the video using Registax.
