Stargazing with binoculars offers access to another level of the night sky, revealing open clusters of stars, the Milky Way, and lunar surface details.
Between May and July in the Northern Hemisphere, best things to see include the Beehive Cluster, Mars and Regulus conjunction, and Noctilucent clouds.
The Beehive Cluster in Cancer is a beautiful sight with hundreds of stars visible through binoculars.
In June 2025, Mars and Regulus will shine close together in the west sky, while Noctilucent clouds can be observed late at night in June and July.
On June 29, 2025, a close pass of the crescent moon and Mars will offer a stunning celestial event in the west after sunset.
The Summer Triangle formed by Vega, Deneb, and Altair is a key feature to observe the Milky Way as it streams down to the horizon.
In July, the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules (M13) and the Teapot’s Steam in Sagittarius are recommended targets for binocular users.
Observing a full moon rise or the Sagittarius Cluster (M22) in binoculars can provide spectacular views for sky-watchers.
Enhance your stargazing experience with a good pair of binoculars, preferably above 10x50, and enjoy the wonders of the night sky.
