I’m thinking you’re right! I’ve got a pair of 8x50s and 10x50s. Was thinking
about a HUGER binocular. Have a tripod, too. Any suggestions?

Astroscans generally were not great optically. They were basically just for low

ha! Look closer. It’s 3 or 4 pictures in! Anyway, I wonder if there’s
anything else like this on the market or would it be better to just drag around
a good pair of binoculars…
