I agree with all of the comments made regarding binoculars, especially big ones! I like using my 20x80s on a parallel mount a lot more than using my equatorial reflector. For satellites, except for the geos, they've been fantastic. I'd like to get the Nikon 120s or even the Fujinon 150s sometime, too, but . . . $$$ Since January, I've observed about 600 satellite passes. I'm now using my old 7x50s from my front yard (I live in rural Missouri) and can easily see down to mag 5.5 or 6.0 even with the skyglow from the town and neighbors' lights.
