Binocular Master Observer

Introduction

The Astronomical League has members who observer the sky with telescopes, binoculars ,and just their unaided eyes. The Binocular Master Observer Award was created to recognize those members who do not use a telescope. Its intent is to challenge these observers to improve their observing skills and to seek out new and different objects.
