What Binocular Magnification is Best for Astronomy?
When using binoculars for astronomy, you don’t necessarily need specialized astronomy binoculars if you’re just starting out. The preferred magnification is usually a 7x with an objective lens of around 50mm. This provides a wider field of view and more light gathering than a 10x50mm binocular.
What is the Best Telescope?
Like all things, different people have different opinions on what makes the “Best Telescope” based on their own brand loyalty and different design aspects. So we’ve put together a page of the Best-Rated Telescopes from consumer ratings from customers that own and use the telescopes themselves.
