BUYING GUIDES
1. Purpose: Are you an amateur stargazer, a birdwatcher who wants to watch the night sky sometimes, or a more serious amateur astronomer? Your use case will determine the type of binoculars you need.
2. Magnification and Objective Lens Diameter: Binoculars are typically described with two numbers, for example, 10×50. The first number (10) refers to the magnification power, and the second number (50) refers to the objective lens diameter in millimeters. In general, for astronomy, binoculars with larger objective lenses (50mm and above) are preferable, as they gather more light and provide a brighter image. A magnification of 7x to 10x is usually sufficient for stargazing.
3. Field of View (FOV): The field of view is how wide an area you can see through the binoculars. A wider FOV is better for astronomy because it allows you to see larger portions of the night sky at once.
4. Glass Quality and Coating: Look for binoculars with high-quality glass (such as Bak-4 prisms) and multi-coated lenses. These will provide clearer and brighter images.
5. Weight and Size: Larger binoculars capture more light and give better views of deep-sky objects, but they can also be heavy and difficult to hold steady for long periods. You may need a tripod for larger models.
6. Exit Pupil: The exit pupil is the size of the light beam exiting the binoculars. It’s calculated by dividing the objective lens diameter by the magnification. A larger exit pupil provides a brighter image, especially useful in low-light conditions like stargazing.
7. Eye Relief: If you wear glasses, look for binoculars with longer eye relief (the distance you can hold the binoculars away from your eyes while still seeing the entire field of view).
8. Waterproof and Fogproof: While not essential for stargazing, these features can be useful for protecting your binoculars from the elements and sudden temperature changes.
9. Brand and Price: Good astronomy binoculars can range from around $100 to over $500. Brands like Celestron, Nikon, and Orion are reputable and known for their quality in this field.
10. Accessories: Consider if the binoculars come with useful accessories like a carrying case, neck strap, lens covers, and cleaning cloth. You might also want to invest in a tripod if it’s not included and you’re buying larger binoculars.
11. User Reviews: Always read user reviews before making a purchase. They can provide valuable insights into factors like image quality, ease of use, and overall value for money.
Remember, the best astronomy binoculars for you will depend on your specific needs and budget. It’s worth taking the time to do your research and compare different models before making a decision.
