Question by person: What can you see in the sky with a pair of binoculars?
I bought some Galileo 10-30x60 binoculars with a tabletop tripod the other day and was wondering what astronomical things I might could see around this time of year with them? Light pollution isn't that much of an issue because I live in a small town in Mississippi to begin with and I can easily get in the middle of slap no where (I've done it before and the skies are brilliant!). Thanks!

You will be able to see way more stars than with the naked eye, nice views of the moon, and maybe some nebula and whatnot. Go outside and take a look!
