Geek spot.

I recently bought a new pair of binoculars (20*50's) and a bracket to attach said bins to a tripod. Well I'd just left OLPP's blog and was working my way thru' PK's when I needed to go to the recycler (got to put the empty and crushed cider tins in their new home) I happened to look to the south and there was Jupiter just above the house at the end of the street. Well I have to see it thru' the new bins.
Yes there is a discreet disc to see. However the image is shaking all over the place ( it is 4.437 AU's away), ah ha, tripod.
Rig bins to tripod, bloody hell!
Here is what I saw...


Venus and Saturn where visible earlier, but thanks to trees and houses they may as well be on the other side of the galaxy. It's moon rise in a min or two so I'll have to have a look. I photographed Jupiter and after I've processed the images I'll let you know how crap they are.
