Markman Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Any recommendations? Not interested in anything fancy that need tripods etc - just got a nice clear view from my room and a little astronomy at low level is tempting - but there are so many types listed at vastly different prices (not keen on telescope) - just wondered if anyone knows the magnification needed etc - looked on Amazon and found exactly the same review under about 6 different pairs :laugh: - so that has not helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 A simple rule: the more you spend on binoculars the better they should be. In terms of magnification, the higher the more you will be able to pick out fainter lights. If money is the deciding factor then I would buy a cheaper pair and enjoy the range of things you can see, rather than be disappointed about not seeing the rest. With almost any pair you will see more than with the naked eye (notwithstanding the Aurora Bognor Regis Bristol). Knowing what and where something interesting will be key, so do the research first. Then you will enjoy the heavens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
