But binoculars are by no means just a gateway instrument into astronomy before you buy your first telescope. The binoculars have a wide field of view, measuring about 6.5 degrees. This makes them great for observing events like the moon passing through or near a large star cluster, such as the Pleiades in the Taurus constellation. When looking through these binoculars, you'll see sharp, pinpoint stars throughout the entire view, with great contrast. Explore Scientific’s G400 15x56 binoculars are a good option for someone who already owns a pair of smaller hand-held binoculars, but who's on the hunt for a robust, compact model suitable for travel.

Touring the heavens with this pair of telescopes is like using two four-inch (100 mm) refractor telescopes with added 25x magnification as if a mad scientist had blended them using an experimental teleporter. The 7x magnification and 50mm objective lenses make the Celestron Cometron 7x50 perfect for kids (see them featured in our best binoculars for kids guide). It is a known fact that children have better night vision than adults, meaning they do not require high-end binoculars to see the same amount of light that an adult would with a more powerful pair.

If your passion is planetary detail, close double stars, globular clusters or planetary nebulae, then consider buying a telescope.Apart from that, the binos seems good enough for me and for the use I'll give it. The image looks bright and sharp. It's a bargain I think! I'm from Portugal and I don't have no experience in binos, but I always wanted to buy one for my hobby, which is planespotting.
