Hi

>Apart from looking at information on Web-sites, there is also an interesting piece of software called "Redshift". A personal planetarium, sort of. Basically, it shows you a sight of the sky for any day, hour, and geographical coordinates.

Thanks I will check it out. Just another questions (already answered by you but now rephrased please bear me). The binocs I have are 7x50 they show, say Orion nebula, like hazy dots anyway, now this instrument in question is 30x30 so the lens is smaller (thus lesser light capturing) and the zoom factor is way more. Now what would be (your best guess) the situation for the same Orion nebula?

Please advise.
