My Secret Santa gift arrived and I'M FREAKING OUT.

Dec 15, 2016 8:11 AM

It arrived in a big box. I thought it was for my dad, so I put it to the side. My secret santa sent me a message, so I rechecked the package, AND REALIZED IT WAS FOR ME. THIS IS THE COOLEST THING I HAVE EVER RECEIVED.

These binoculars are no joke. It's snowing now, but when the stars show again, my family won't be able to get me back in the house. I'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO SEE THE STARS AND MOON LIKE NO WAY I HAVE BEFORE.

Thank you so freaking much @ranmagirl I will cherish these forever.

The box it came it. IT'S HUGE. IT WAS IN A SPECIAL BAG. AND THE BINOCULARS HAVE A STORAGE BAG. THIS IS AMAZING.

Nice! I would suggest using a tripod with those, to reduce/eliminate hand shake.

It's for you to look at your own soul and take a measure of who you are. And stargazing.

Great binos. I used a pair of those for part of my binocular Messier list. As others have said, get a tripod, you will need it.

Having grown up sneaking onto my roof to look at stars (and convincing every babysitter it was safe), I love this gift.

Don't get a cheap tripod; get a good strong stabilizing one. will make your gazing much more exciting and worthwhile.

Those Binoculars are not cheap either. Your secret Santa was very generous

I own a pair, they are AMAZING. Use a tripod and check out the moon.

Ok, so you are going to need a BIG tripod for those or they will be useless. There are special mounts for binoculars. The view is great.

No, but it came with a tripod clip & I will be looking for one.

I just got the same one from my sister for Christmas! Also freaking out! They're better than my cheap telescope.

I have these, they're absolutely phenomenal. You can look at a completely dark patch of the sky and see stars everywhere!

Shaking hands make it hard to look at astro objects at that mag. Get used tripod at thrift store. Have fun!

In fact even a brand new tripod can be relatively inexpensive.

I'll look for one. Thank you!

Agreed. I have the same pair. Tripod is required for space spying.

Those look really nice, and expensive! Those would be great for astronomy if you're into that

The first time I saw real boobs was through a set of binoculars. I should probably be less proud of that than I am, but they were great.

Buddy of mine got a bird watching scope. Our roommate immediately pointed it at the neighbor's house, college girls' soccer team house.

Wait...binoculars aren't supposed to be symmetrical??

I could be wrong but I think it's just the angle he's holding them at.
