We'll give you these in descending order of importance. Here are some basic things to look for when choosing between binoculars:Ĭomprehending a few types of numbers can help you decide which binoculars are best for your specific purposes. It's time to think about what to look for when selecting the best binoculars to meet your night sky needs. Now that we've taken a look at why you may want to choose binoculars over a telescope. Binoculars present the world in correct perspective. Some also make it "backward" - as if seen in a mirror (because that's exactly what's happening). Many telescopes show you the sky upside down. They give you a better chance to see patterns in the cosmos.
And binoculars give you a much better appreciation for how objects relate to one another. Binoculars, with their wider field of view, let you scan the sky for targets. For a most fulfilling visual experience, get all your brain's "wetware" working on it. Remember, seeing occurs in your mind's eye. Binocular literally means "two eyes." You get twice the opportunity to paint your brain with starlight. It's an issue for everything, really, except the moon - which can be too bright - and a few vivid planets. That's a problem when observing deep-sky targets like comets, galaxies and widely diffuse star clusters. Paradoxically, the more a telescope magnifies an object, the dimmer that object appears. This is where binoculars have an advantage over even the best telescopes available. Binoculars can lock in tightly to both your eye sockets and your hands are close in to your face for more stability. Angling a long tube up toward the sky makes the shake problem even worse your extended arm wiggles the front objective lens. So telescopes need to sit on tripods or rocker-boxes for stability. Even little ones are bigger, heavier and longer than most binoculars.
