Scientific paper

In 2004 I received a BAA Ridley Grant towards the purchase of a pair of binoculars and tripod for the visual observation of comets and variable stars, and for use during public demonstrations at the Cambridge Observatories. Tripod-mounted binoculars have two big advantages. The stability of the mounting allows increased light grasp during serious observation, which can amount to as much as a magnitude at times. Secondly, the parallel arm mounting allows the height of the binoculars to be adjusted to suit the individual without changing the field in view, a big benefit on nights when stargazers of varying heights and ages are present.
