Bushnell PowerView 2.0 10×50 aluminum binoculars for star gazing and nature

If you want one viewer that works well both at night under the stars and during the day in the wild, then the 10×50 is a classic choice. The Bushnell PowerView 2.0 10×50 magnifies ten times and has lenses of 50 mm, in an aluminum housing with multi-coated optics (MC).

The exit pupil of 5 mm provides a clear image in twilight and darkness, which is why it is at the forefront of our binoculars for the night sky. You see the Milky Way, open star clusters, the craters on the Moon and the Andromeda Nebula as a faint smudge.

Tien times magnification is still manageable. Look for the Andromeda Nebula in the autumn, when it is high in the evening sky, and look a little to the side of the spot: then you can see it better. In our guide with deep-sky objects find more to look up.

If you want to watch for a long time in a row, then a tripod adapter with quick-release coupling it is much more comfortable. Helps on humid nights lens hoods for the lenses against frostbite.
