I've started stargazing with 8 by 30 bins from a boot sale - and when I
sneak out at night it's been so chilly that with my shaky hands if I
focus on a star I get seriously wavy lines. So I can cure the warmth
factor, but how much stronger should my bins be for viewing.
I get so intrigued when folks post here about seeing Mars or a Saturn
ring.
Also - kind souls can you direct me to basic starter urls for newbies.
I've got myself a 'Philips Stargazer Pack with Star Chart, Planisphere
and nice piccie of Patrick Moore - but I really need some basic urls too
to get started.
Hope you can help.

Consider getting some sort of support for the bins. If they have a tripod
attachment (often located on the end of the hinge point of the bins) or you
can get a bracket to attach to the bins. Try bracing yourself against a
wall or something to get some support.
