4ofus Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 For all of us, as we are a camping family. However, my young son (8) is specifically interested in the night sky :). Any recommendations? I was looking at Home Science Tools as they have no shipping right now, but if they don't have a good option, I'm open to shopping elsewhere. Thanks!

Occasionally Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 How about some binoculars? DS7 got these for Christmas based on the recommendation of someone at the local amateur astronomers club. They do a local "star party" once a month, and the binoculars mounted on a tripod were really pretty great. They're portable and easy to use, too.

brla Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 we've done this. with the binoculars. It's not exactly the same, but it's really portable, and really easier to handle on-the-go. you can get a pretty nice pair at the Bass Pro. We also use the same binoculars for bird watching and various other things when we're out. It's part of my sons "go kit" as he calls it.
