After much thinking on the subject over the last week, I think it may be more advantageous for me to get a massive pair of binoculars and put them on a mount. I think a mount would be great, even now with my 7x35's. I can see so few stars on anything but the best nights. So, I like satellites that culminate at near zenith. Why? Zenith is easy to find, and you don't need any guide stars for that. And a mount is good for that, too. I looked at my latest Orion catalog (I haven't bought anything from there in years, but I hope they keep the catalogs coming....), and saw a good-looking mount for $75 USD (I don't want a flimsy mount). Does anyone have any recommendations for a binocular mount? Or perhaps even try to make one myself? --------------------------------------------------------- Jonathan T.
