Funny you should ask. I was just thinking about it. Yes, I have a super suggestion. Try a mirror mount. This is an ultra simple device which allows you to see through your binoculars the same way a diagonal allows you to see through your telescope. It's absolutely fantastic! There are several on the market these days, which range in price from less than $100 to will over $200. Take a look at my review of this item on www.cloudynights.com When you get there, select reviews, then mounts, then scroll down to binocular mounts, select skyscaner Al

You can also go to the local hardware store, buy a paint pad with long extension handles that can be attached in sections, giving you a height adjustment. Strap your binos to the pad, and instant monopod! Clear Skies Chuck Taylor Do you observe the moon? Try the Lunar Observing Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lunar-observing/

Also at the hardware store, get a chase lounge pad. Lie down on the ground
and look up -- much beter views (thinner section of the atmosphere) than standing up and looking out.
