The billions and billions of visible stars will astonish you and add up to a memorable stargazing experience that you will be eager to share with your friends and family.

I've been doing stargazing for about a year and 1/4 now and I've been using a pair of 8x25 so far and was wondering if they are actually any good and if I should continue using them or seek out another pair?

Good on you for stargazing for a year and a quarter! You're well on your second trip around the starwheel. Most people don't seem to have the patience these days to actually learn the stars.. If the 8x25s have gotten you this far, I'm not knocking them. As the other posts have mentioned, larger objectives will show more things, but they also get heavier. "Classic" stargazing binos have 50mm objectives, and I do find a difference in brightness and visibility as the objective size increases from 25 to 35 to 50 mm. Having said that, last weekend I was stargazing with an antique 3x26 opera glass. Was it comparable to my 7x50 binoculars? No! Was it better than my naked eye? Yes! I think you can do astronomy with whatever binocular you have on hand. If you are wondering if there is more to see than what your 8x25 can show, the answer is certainly yes. If you're feeling "tapped out" with viewing through your old binos, I think an 8x40, 7x50, or 10x50 would all provide a great upgrade without getting too deep into tripod territory (personally I can't handhold more than 8x long enough for stargazing) . Only you can decide what combination works best for your eyes, arm strength, and steadiness. Good luck, and have fun! And don't toss out those 8x25s. I bet you'll come back to them again and again, if you've used them this long.

Summer months offer warm, dry nights that make this a perfect time for teaching kids about the cosmos.

Big Bear Lake sits in an ideal location for stargazing and night sky photography. Away from the bright, big city lights and at its high altitude, the night skies over the Big Bear valley stay dark enough to view constellations, meteor showers, and even the Milky Way!

Look for a location away from bright nighttime lights and with a wide view of the sky. It will take your eyes about 10-15 minutes to adapt to the dark. Use a red flashlight to keep your dark adaption intact; you will lose this using an ordinary flashlight. If you are new to stargazing, you might want to use a pair of binoculars. Many celestial objects are visible with binoculars, including the moon and some planets or download one of many free stargazing apps to help you navigate the sky above. 2351a5e196
