Astronomy binoculars

What is important when stargazing with binoculars?

Stargazing requires different binoculars than birding or safari. You are often looking at a stationary object in the dark, for longer periods of time. Therefore, what counts most here is: brightness, magnification and stability.

The best astronomy binoculars have a magnification between 10× and 20×, a large lens diameter (50 mm or more) and preferably a tripod connection For vibration-free imaging.

🔭 Important features for nighttime observation:

• Magnification:
  10× is ideal without tripod, 15-20× with tripod gives more detail on the moon and star clusters

• Objective lens (mm):
  50-80 mm provides maximum light capture (dark sky, faint stars)

• Twilight number and luminosity:
  The higher, the better for night use. Pay attention to coatings and glass quality

• Tripod connection:
  Indispensable from 15× or for long sessions - prevents vibrations

• Exit pupil:
  4-5 mm gives optimal viewing comfort in the dark
