Interesting, How good is 10x50 compared to 25x70 ?

​@@Hamzahzein25x is gonna give you a limited field of view. 10x covers more area. There's also option of buying a zoom binoculars in which you can adjust magnification between 10x and above.

Try a 20 ×80. 😊

​@@pastiche9zoom Binoculars bad

Since 10x50.is 5mm exit pupil, both 8x40 and 7x35 are also options, since not everyone can hold 10x steady. I personally found 8x40 ideal and went with nikon action extreme as my main hand held pair. They got stolen and my budget level decreased drastically, so now I have some older 1970s japanese compass 7x35 ultra wides. They do the job.

I think this is really great to know! I've watched a lot of recommendations and I have come across the exact same thing for beginners 7x50. So that is what I will get. As a beginner... Idk what I'm doing. I just want to see stuff but I think the higher power will deter me. I can always buy that later!

Bro how much 15x70 binoculars.... Bro please tell me it's able to see saturns ring... Please tell mee bro

@user-pi6yp9pg4w You won't be able to see Saturn rings with it. 15x is much too low for that. The planet will look like a bigger oval shaped star.

@@BogdanDamian yes, I checked and réalised it

@golftruth1395 Hi! I haven't tested the linear bino yet, so I don't know how it performs, but from what I've read on the internet it represents a decent alternative to traditional binos. The linear design employs lenses, a prism and mirrors to obtain a 0-light-path design making it very interesting for telescopes without enough back focus such as reflectors. Maybe I'll make a video in the future on binoviewers where I go over all these details.

@Iormaz1975 Thanks for your input on this one. I'll have to do a bit more research myself to see what exactly is the performance difference between these types.

@@BogdanDamian I heard about it from a youtube vid from a binocular astronomer by the name of Stephen Tonkin. Quite a knowledgeable guy.

Probably the main issue here is expectations meeting reality, and yeah; retailers & manufacturers also have a part to play in this, not just users. Firstly, what do we mean by "some detail"? In planetary & lunar terms, I would say colour & texture differences. But then, it depends on what object in the solar system you're looking at. Venus is so bright it is one of the easiest planets to see, but it's very difficult to see any surface detail for the very reason it's easy to see. You have to remember that you're looking at something a distance away that is difficult to fully comprehend. The average distance to Venus is 26 million miles, Mars 140 million. Saturn *792 million*. You may be thinking "yeah, but planets are big". Relatively speaking, yes. But you're wanting planetary features, which are smaller. In some cases, much smaller. A 9mm eyepiece in a 1250mm focal length optical tube is a magnification of about 138 times. The highest useful magnification of a telescope is usually calculated at about 2 times aperture in mm, so about 500x on a 254mm reflector. That's a 2.5mm eyepiece at 1250mm focal length. But this assumes near-perfect seeing. But ultimately you need to realise you're using a relatively small, relatively cheap device to look incredibly, unfathomably far away.

Thank you, Andy, for your excellent response! I truly appreciate it. I'm still relatively new to the world of astronomy, so I wanted to ask if using a high-quality 2.5mm lens, like the Tele Vue 3.5mm Delos 1.25" (which seems to be the smallest "very good" lens available on High Point Scientific's website), would give me the best chance of observing planetary details. I had several nights dedicated to observing the planets, and they were clear during the winter months, so clarity wasn't an issue. However, I do experience light distortion in my area, which I believe is classified as a class 4. This might have affected my viewing experience. Apart from that, when I looked through the lens, the planets appeared very small and lacked any discernible details. I couldn't see any rings on Jupiter; it was just a small, slightly tan blur. I could barely make out five moons. This is why I felt discouraged. Once again, thank you for your comprehensive response. Your ability to provide those specifications quickly shows that you truly know what you're talking about!

@@RobertHopkinsArti can get a better image than that on a very substandard telescope. So this could be due to some technical problems you’re having. Definitely try a Barlow lens. Also do you use glasses or have astigmatism?

I use glasses for driving (Nearsightedness -Myopia) and have trouble seeing at night too. I really can't drive at night if I don't have my glasses on. But, I can see up close just fine and when looking through the scope I don't wear glasses. I was expecting to see some detail, or at least the size of the planets would be larger in the lens than it was. My telescope has been sitting in a corner ever since I posted this comment. What a waste. I was so disappointed.

How about celestron 25-70
