In the last episode (17) we discussed some tips for picking binoculars for astronomy, if you have a budget of $300 or less. We discussed the Oberwerk 10x50mm Deluxe and The Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 8 x 42 Binocular- both great choices for a beginning binocular. In this episode we present 2 more choices to consider if you have a little bit more money to spend:
Fujinon 10x50 FMT-SX Polaris Waterproof Porro Prism Binocular with 6.0 Degree Angle of View. A "more rugged" binocular than the Oberwerk, and with better coatings. Cost ~$500 new.
Canon 15x50 IS All-Weather Image Stabilized Binocular.
The image stabilized binocular has a button you can push to stabilize the image, for prolonged viewing without the hassle of having to try and stabilize the binocular. Brian's "go-to" piece of equipment- for either a quick observing session, or traveling. "The one binocular I can’t do without, it is an awesome travel partner, offering 15x magnification with no tripod needed." Cost ~$1,200 new. $700 - $800 used. [ Ссылка ] or [ Ссылка ]
