How to Buy a Telescope : Binoculars Vs. Telescopes

[Holidats]

If any of you guys are thinking of buying a pair of binoculars for star-gazing I can recommend a pair of Docter 10 x 42. They are a light, extremely well made clear optics that are good for hunting as-well as star-gazing, Infact there's nothing better than going for a hunt early morning or late afternoon and then at night doing a bit of star-gazing. Try them, you won't be disappointed and you'll always get a great re-sale price if you decide to sell.

Cheers

I saw a pair of 50x50 binoculars on ebay.

1) do binoculars really come with those specs or is it a fake?

2) will it be any good for star gazing or is the aperture too small?

@ganninu93 Cheap Chinese Ebay Binoculars have started abusing the system - 30X60 Binoculars do not mean 30X with 60mm diameter but, as best I can gather, 30mm diameter and 60mm length.On the other hand there are bargains - I bought a pair of 20X80 Sakura binoculars for $51, and they were the same size as regular 20X80s. But their magnification was actually around 16X, and the brightness of the image was that of 75mm. Thus they were effectively very nice and cheap 16X75 binoculars

@ganninu93 You'd find 50mm objectives would not allow enough light gathering at that great magnification. Big dim images are less rewarding than smaller, wider field, brighter ones. With binos, a wider less magnified image allows you to locate deep sky objects as they relate to their neighbours; i.e. whole constellations make sense, but isolated stars streaking by don't. Finally, if that 50x50 objective to magnification relationship were useful, pros would use and advocate them. They don't.

i just bought a 20x90 pair cant wait :D

[e3milios]

Is 20x50 good or was that a false advertisment? I'm new to astronomy business so I don't know what is real or fake when I see stuff like 20x50.I seen 7x50 and 10x50 so that's obvious to go for when I see it recommend from multiple videos.I seen 20x50 today so i thought it should be able to reach out into space more compared to 7 or 10x50.Once again I don't know if 20x50 is legit or fake.

@e3milios Hey there, 20x50 is alright, a bit too high magnification for a 50mm apeture. If you already have it thats wonderful. Theres two main type of binos. One is for bird watching and the other is astronomical. If you want astronomical, I'd recommend a 15x70 Celestron Skymaster Binos the down side is that it weighs alot so youd need a tripod. If you want Bird watching binos, get a lower magnification and a smaller apeture and it doesnt need a tri pod. If you got more questions message me.

Looks like 4 people (the dislike button) didn't like being told that you shouldn't rush into things. lol. I am a beginner (brand spanking new) to astronomy/star gazing. Can't wait to get started but I am nervous that I might buy the wrong telescope eventually. I live in Germany but I will order from the states. Any suggestions? I also do not want a manual telescope and need the assistance of a computerized telescope.

Thank you so much for all of these videos.

Okay, so I bougth the Fujinon 16x70, only to get laughed at by my father. The first thing he asked is where is the magnification? (he meant zoom). If I told him that there's no zoom on the Fujinon, and that the magnification is actually less than his 8-24x25 Nikon, he instantly thought I am a total idiot to buy such big binoculars that have little magnification. Oh well, that's what we geeks get, we get laughed at all the time.

[gary031183]

@dvamateur You are not a geek. Geeks are those who don't interface with others and put themselves inside of a bubble due to their interest in only 1 topic. No worries man....we are all the same. Just some of us are more intelligent than others. The ones that can't handle it, make fun of those that make them feel insecure.

[stealthwalnut]

Very good, thanks.

[NEEDCARS]

who would ever do this? if you gona do this, you will only use it for about 2-3 months. then you would want to move on to a telescope, which is just a waste of money...

dumb farmer

[bilalk428]

get vivitar 7x50 uv coated optics there great and also come with storage a pouch

[ParaglidingManiac]

@bilalk428,

Hi, a question about the coating. What does it mean? The inside of a tube or what? I'm talking about a Newtonian reflector.

[MrCohibaboy]

lol i always wondered what the numbers ment on them so the first number is the times of magnification by the second number is the size of the lense mine are 10x42 leuplod acadia

[Obama4Prezz]

This is a video is purporting to help those buying a telescope, yet mentions little in the way of telescopes and all of it ends up being about binoculars...

Suggestion: rename the title: "How to buy binoculars"

I understand the need to cover the subject of binoculars vs. telescopes but that is a subject all in itself.

I had to give it 2 stars for this reason.

[CatfishMan43]

Nikon 7x50 is the best for the money ...they work well and i can see 4 of jupiters moons and tell thier movement each night..seriously they are great to start with..

[Radiotarkus]

Help: I just ordered the Celestron Skymaster 15x70..could you recomend a tripod ?. I will use it mainly for sky watching. Thanks for the video.

[robblac]

what would be the best thing for looking at my neigbors breasts covertly ?

[ebayrs]

You should choose binoculars

[wachaoz]

hahahaha yeah

[manicindhouse]

For that u would need a good pair of eyes! WHich i assume u dont have soo, for get it!

[lrgdup]

You would need the smallest binoculars possible, so as to not alert any outside observer towards your peeping tomfoolery.

You might be tempted to purchase stronger "giant binoculars," but unless your neighbor is hundreds of yards away, a simple pair will do.

Hope this info helps you in your quest to observe mammaries upclose.
