Dark Sky Festival presentation - choosing and using binoculars

Binoculars are a hugely versatile and effective tool for those just starting stargazing and experienced astronomers alike. Many would advise beginners to start their stargazing activities with binoculars rather than investing in a more expensive and complicated telescope. Dr Andrew Lohfink is a binocular observer with many years of experience. In his talk he will explain how to choose binoculars for stargazing and demonstrate how to get the best out of them. A talk not to be missed for anyone wondering about the best route to start learning about the night sky by observing it.

Mae ysbienddrych yn arf hynod ddefnyddiol ac effeithiol ar gyfer y rhai sydd newydd ddechrau syllu ar y sêr a seryddwyr profiadol fel ei gilydd. Byddai llawer yn cynghori dechreuwyr i ddechrau eu gweithgareddau syllu ar y sêr gydag ysbienddrych yn hytrach na buddsoddi mewn telesgop drutach a chymhleth. Mae Dr Andrew Lohfink yn arsylwr ysbienddrych gyda blynyddoedd lawer o brofiad. Yn ei sgwrs bydd yn egluro sut i ddewis ysbienddrych ar gyfer syllu ar y sêr ac yn dangos sut i gael y gorau ohonynt. Sgwrs na ddylid ei cholli i unrhyw un sy’n pendroni am y ffordd gorau i gychwyn ar syllu ar awyr y nos.
