What Does Space Look Like through Binoculars?

- As there are lots of really big objects in space, and as many of them appear larger than the moon, I decided to begin my journey in binocular astronomy with widefield 7x50 binoculars.

From my home in London I can see the moon and the planets and the sun and globular clusters and open clusters with binoculars but to get the really faint stuff you need to be somewhere dark. So I went to Dartmoor National Park in Devon. Thank you Fiona and Stephen and family for making me so welcome. If anyone else want to pop to the same spot its here...

This was really the first time I've had the opportunity to just kick back and look at the stars, nebula and galaxies through binoculars somewhere really dark. The last time I was on Dartmoor with binos was when I tried to shoot the Andromeda galaxy with my phone through some even cheaper binos. The results were good and I'm really pleased with the video - its my most popular one
• COOL SPACE PICS WITH A...
but I didn't spend any time at all just looking. Up until now I've really concentrated on astrophotography but this experience was cool and its making me think more and more about observing. And to see the faint stuff I need to be in complete darkness. Problem is to film in complete blackness is useless. I had to have some light on me for my phone to be able to film me and that in turn ruined my night vision. I'd be really keen for more experienced binocular astronomers to let me know if you can see more with proper night vision and if so how much more. Also if anyone has any suggestions for bigger better binos (but also quite cheap as coronavirus has decimated my earnings (I make tv shows) then please let me know.
Hope you like this video all the best and stay safe ;-)

His audio track is what makes his clips more interesting.
Moonlight Sonata and beat hahah
@phục êwê ...to be precise I'm complementing his narration and background music (both) also I'm not disrespecting your right to choice.
Melodies with drum n bass !
GET HYPER 🕴️🕺🕴️🕺🕴️🕺🕴️🕺
The music is great, sure but I'd say the narration it's a step above the music. You could say that the videos wouldn't be the same without the other and that's true but how many tunes sound similar to what we hear in the background? They make a dynamic team none the less and both should be applauded
What a weird comment.
Yeah...videos with audio are more interesting.
Thx everyone for your lovely comments. Another bigger astrobiscuit mission coming soon😀
Have you seen at 7:36 there was something flying next to sirius.
@@Pekay_one oh yeh. It was dark so every frame is in fact a second or two long exposure. I expect this is a satelitte.
Very excited for the next video!
Another "back of the net" video!
When you do Andromeda you should scream it's coming right at us! Should hit our galaxy in oh about 4billion years!
You know.When you watch this you realise what people are missing when they live in the city. It's a real shame because many people would be far more humble if they could experience this
Just wait for stat link to block all of these out
@@unnamedchannel1237 pretty sure they fixed that problem
@@salpal30 Thats what they want to tell you until they are all up in the "air" then bam
There are so many other things people miss when they live in a big city. Nature. People being nice in grocery stores. Enough room to put all the snow.
@@unnamedchannel1237 theyre obviously kinda bright but only take up a tiny portion of the sky. i guess not tooo bad you can just wait for them to go out of your field of view.
Fun and interesting video. I started in amateur astronomy as a teenager (too many decades ago...) with my dad's old Soviet-era 8x30 binoculars. I remember exploring all the classics (M45, M42, M31, etc.) on cold winter nights, the moon and even (via projection) the sun. Binoculars are highly underrated instruments for amateur astronomy. My kids are five years old now, and I still have the binoculars. I hope to be able to show them the wonders of the night sky as my dad showed me, 30+ years ago...
Cool. I bet those soviet binos have great optics
I recently lost my soviet era 8 x 30 binoculars, and looking through new ones for a replacement has yet to give me anything close to the clarity I had through my old ones. Sure they were heavier, but somehow they brought a deep, almost green clarity to everything. Don't lose yours :)
Light pollution is an issue
I tried to look at my TENTO 8x40 binoculars it hardly even see jupiter beacuse now its seen until 11:50 from 22:00 i only could see the lines and white and black.
@@Neshoo69jupiter is a very difficult target for binoculars. Too bright. Binoculars are great for star clusters, asterisms, some deep sky objects. But for planets one needs a big telescope. Preferably an 8 inch dobsonian or larger.
I’m currently in Japan in the mountains, it was the first time clear sky last night so i ventured out to try and see Andromeda through 8x40’s. Oh lord I’ve never seen it so i was thrilled. I could see the smudge lurking in the skies. Realizing it’s moving at incredible speeds towards our Milky Way but looking at it with your own eyes is pretty astonishing and humbling.
Wished I lived in a place where I can see this without the light pollution.
Me too my area went from Bortle 3/4 to near 7 over 30years. Miss very much dark skies
@@bentex40 my place is b7 too. But I'm having quite a fun time with my new 114 f4 telescope. I can see a lot of stars. And once winter comes up, there will be Orion nebula which I could look at for hours.
@@rooftopastronomer2697 its extremely cloudy
dark skies shows my location being a bortle 5 to 6... but thats a lie I think unless if most of the bright LED street lights somehow turned off at night, I could probably see the milky way maybe.
California seems to me like the worst place for a person who’s interested in stargazing to live in 😞
I always remember the first time I saw the evening Venus with a cheap telescope. I found the reason why it looked sparky - it was a crescent! It made it look real, touchable and not just a dot in the sky. I also realised the track it was taking towards us and then between us and the sun to become the morning “Star”. It was such a revelation and I was energised to learning more. Thank you for this video it’s also enlightening.
Have you had a chance to spot Saturn visually threw a scope yet? One of my personal favorites just because of those magnificent rings
I’m afraid not Quiet Wanderer, I learnt a lot more but never purchased a proper telescope. The knowledge I gained was enough to satisfy my curiosity by working out the workings of the Solar system, the distance between stars, the size of our Milky Way and then the distance to our nearest neighbour Andromeda.
I’m still puzzled about spirals, the expanding universe and the speed of light. The Milky Way is over 100000 light years across and I think Andromeda is about 2.5 million light years away. If the universe is expanding the gap between our galaxies is expanding by how much I don’t know. Possibly Hubble knew with Red Shift but if it is significant then the spiral of Andromeda would be elongated, it isn’t so the expanding cannot be very fast.
One day I’ll try and work it out but I don’t have that kind of motivation. I’m 70 now, one of Jehovah’s witnesses with more pressing matters on hand but I love the night sky and like you Saturn.
I'm always in awe when I look up from a dark site, there's just so much to see! Binocs are great too. I've had 7x50's etc. but last summer bought a pair of 20x80s. When I first looked up with them I thought all the stars had turned supernova! There was just so much more to see that familiar constellations became unfamiliar because they contained so many more stars! I used a binocular chair made with timber mounts on an old swivel office chair, fantastic for sweeping panoramas and looking at the zenith in an almost lying down position. Astrobiscuit your enthusiasm shines through this 3year old thread, I just had to reply!
I looked at these same three objects in binoculars last winter and had pretty much the same reaction. The Pleiades is just gorgeous in binoculars.
I missed you! You are the reason why i bought a pair of Binoculars as my first sky gazing instrument. hopefully i will get me a nice telescope in the near future but i will never forget my beginning with the Binoculars
Thank you and glad you've started😀
@@Astrobiscuit what would be a decent camera for this i like the binocs but cant take a photo is nikon p900 or 1000 worth the money?
i never ever imagined that a simple binocular could reveal so much details....great video....
I live in Los Angeles and I count maybe 25 stars in the sky, max.
At our city to watching the stars we have to look at hollywood blvd and not sky with all lights pollution !!!
@@themoments5952 too bad, I live in the countryside and my sky is almost filled with stars
I feel for you! WAY too many lights, and if you are in the same boat as I, you can't afford to get to where it is really dark. I'm in the SE USA. Rural county, but the street lights are HORRIBLE! Actually have one at the end of our driveway. I feel like shooting it out, sometimes. I just deal with it. I have an OLD (23 years) manual 4.5" Reflector, and a cheapo 2.5" Refractor, that I bought the kids several years ago. Also just bought a set of 12 x 42 binocs a day ago. Haven't even tried them out yet. I usually just park our SUV in the driveway, and place a plastic chair against it, and just sit and wait to see if I get to see anything, especially during meteor showers...Good luck looking up, and be safe! Wish you the best!
Not all of those are stars.
@@AstroGuy Not really. Planets are much much brighter.
A few years ago I managed to see half the messier catalog in one night with a pair of 10x50s under pristine dark skies. It was mind blowing. Since that night I've gotten serious on binocular astronomy. Now using 25x100s on a parallelogram mount cantilevered over a zero gravity chair. Less like looking through s telescope or conventional binocular usage and more like floating weightless and looking through a window into space.
I've been Stargazing with binoculars since I was 11 years old. And I'm nearly 70 now!
So, it's not a new subject for me! Many of the folks I've taught Astronomy to got their very first view of the Moon through my Binoculars.
I have never seen Andromeda myself, So I went out with binoculars to find it and couldn't see it. So i set up my tripod and camera and set it to take a photo. There is was on the viewfinder, such a great feeling to finally see it - even though it's on my camera. You are really getting me into this stuff
Cool... Yeh seeing andromeda with these binos was one of those wow moments for me
Found my granddads 10x50 military binoculars just now, I spent the last hour watching the stars. So much fun. And I only remembered that I had them because of this vid. Cheers!
Brilliant! After watching this video I dug out a pair of Russian-made 10x50 binoculars my mother had brought me back from holiday in Bulgaria 30+ years ago and which hadn't even been out of their case for at least 5 years. Following your instructions, within a couple of minutes I was able to find the smudge that is Andromeda in the light polluted skies above central Edinburgh - amazing! I've always had a passing interest for stars and the night sky but I think that things are about to get serious!
I’m really big on binoculars. It makes nature in general so much more exciting and fun. No tripod, no batteries, shock resistant, waterproof, light and convenient, especially with a good neck strap. I wouldn’t recommend a porroprism like in the video because modern roof prisms now outperform them in my opinion. But hey many astronomy binoculars are still porroprisms so who am I to argue? Start carrying a decent pair of binoculars on a regular basis and watch your appreciation of the outdoors blossom. Wildlife, astronomy, even plant life. Yes plant life because in some places you aren’t allowed off the trail. One of my favorite sayings is that Mother Nature is not a petting zoo, but use binoculars and that matters much less.
What's a good model of binoculars?
@@mountfairweather I think Vortex is probably the best value in the industry. And their warranty is second to none.
10x42 are probably the most popular, but I learned long ago that you’ll actually see more with a 8x, at least when you’re hand holding them.
Good porro prisms has better light transmision and shock resistance for the price than roofs unless they are the very expensive ones, like Zeiss, Leicas, Swaroskis, Meoptas or the top Nikon, Kowas or Vortex. The great advantage of roofs are their compact size and weight, adn theirclose focuing, ideal por birders and hunters. But top astronomy bins seem to be cost porros unless they are the ultraexpensive Nikon WXs that cost as much a second hand car. The top astronomy bins, the Fujinons FMTSX series, the Canon IS series or the Nikon SP series are all porros,. They are wonderfull optical instrumentd if you do not mind the weight. And since astronomers are used to carry around bulky telescopes, they do not mind. But if you want a bin for day nature watching as well as astronomy get the best roof you can afford.
Thats because porro prisms capture give more 3d realism or something thats better for astronomy because of the different lens positions.
@@freezingicy9457 Porros have far better 3 D effect due to the wide separate objetive lenses. But they lose close focus (needed for birding or insects) for the same reason. Also the better Porros have light transmision figures over 95% far over the better roofs.
You did a great job of giving your viewers an accurate hint of observing through binocs. I appreciate the ton of work that required, not to mention creativity. Thanks a lot.
As a kid always spent hours looking at the moon through binoculars
Great vid. People think you need huge expensive telescopes that takes ages to set up to enjoy the nightsky, but with some half decent binoculars you can really enjoy some fantastic sights indeed.
Sure. But if you look at something slightly higher in the sky, your neck will start to hurt much sooner than your arms will struggle with the weight of the bino. I like stargazing with binos, but they aren't a replacement for a decent telescope. Sadly, because I really like the ease to use them and the more 'natural' way to look at things with both eyes.
There is a place for both tools.
It really matters more where you are looking. the basic rule is Always get away from the city.
A $30 pair of Bushnell Powerview Binos is all you need to get started.
Not in Europe tho.
@@chrishieke1261 Binoculars can be used with a beach or law chair or a sleeping bag to look at 90 degrees.
There is something a bit magical about using two eyes for visual astronomy E.g. white light solar can be a little non engaging, but pop in the bino viewers and you kind of feel like you there! The Moon is another one that's mind blowing through large bins! :) Oh gawd I now want some bino's back in my life lol Rory, do me a favour and try 15x70 binos on a monopod at some point. You'll like it :)........Another mind blowing video, but hey! maybe don't call all us other guys boring. Be thankful we're making your content look even better by comparison ;)
I understand your point, but all I have is 12 x 42...I still have my OLD manual 4.5" Reflector....It's probably about 23 years old. Both Mirrors have recently been replaced, It's cleaned up, inside cleaned and darkened, outside has been cleaned and touched up to almost original...still manual though...cheaper that way. Can't afford a digitally directed 8" monster 'scope...wish that I could though!
Love your videos! I especially like your humor and how you keep the focus on the subject. You didn’t stop and explain all of the work you put into your photo you just jump to your awesome photo and back to the good stuff! I appreciate all the work you put into your hobby to teach and entertain us :)
Amazing!!!!! Thank you for always coming through with the best content! 🥰
I bought some Nikon 10 x 50's to start my astronomy journey. Since they arrived all I've seen is thick dense cloud cover. I havent even been able to see the moon.
So I'd like to apologise to all you real astronomers as i think i may have jinxed it for everybody.
Great channel by the way. Really inspiring.
Same here
Maybe it's not the binoculars but you live in a polluted city so you can't see really good
I done this as a child most nights when it was clear. I had a good old pair of carl ziess 8x30's which i can remember looking at Hale bopp comet in the ealry 90s!! Just bought another pair for when am away in the lake district for those night walks, great vid 👍
Yes your back, excellent way you present your videos and totally inspiring
Came upon your videos just a couple of days ago. Just brilliant, your enthusiasm is infectious. Has I inspired me to do something with some kit I've had a while but sadly hardly used.
Came across this channel today, this is a gem!! Love your videos and how you make them, not to long not short, great comment en informative. Awesome!
So good to see you back. Keep up the good content !
Happy to see your channel on my feed, really enjoy the content and the way you make de videos. Hello from Brazil :D
Welcome back good sir... I’ve been contemplating getting some Bino’s!, You’ve made my mind up! Stay safe and keep looking up, unless your walking!
Don't buy zoom binoculars!!
I'm a regular at Dartmoor and the skies there are amazing (compared to my home of Bristol). I will take my modest binoculars next time I'm out getting astro shots and have a good look. great video. cheers
Thank you for this! I had a pair of binoculars as a kid that I used for astronomy all the time. Looking to get another pair now that I'm older. This was exactly the type of review content I was looking for!! Happy stargazing!
Just bought a pair of 12 X42's. Gonna try them out tonight. First time! Wish me luck! Be safe and Keep Looking Up!
you're really good at taking pictures. thanks for helping us experience how stargazing is like through binoculars. i've actually seen Orion nebula through same binocular at a light polluted area when there was no moon
Couldn't carry my astro gear due to health issues. Decided to go to a dark site with simple 7x35 binoculars. Went out and bought 10x42 ED ones as soon as I got back. Stunning.
I was a non believer in using Binos, but for speed in finding targets to train the scope on you can't beat them.
I was wondering about this. I just got a telescope for Christmas. I came across this video and now I'm on the edge of whether or not to get them.
With 10x50 binoculars (which I picked up a few nights ago), so many more stars show up than I what I see with my naked eye. Last night I looked at Jupiter (which was just a bright globe, no details) and was surprised to see its 4 largest moons! It's like a small solar system in our own! They have Porro prisms, so they are brighter, but also heavier, so really they are best used with some stationary setup.
So glad you came back! awesome video as always!
Another epic video! I agree, you deserve to have so many more subscribers than you have! Dartmoor looks really dark. I spent 14 months in Drummore, SW Scotland a few years ago, and being born in SE London, we'll, I shed a few tears when I first moved up there! I had some of the darkest skies anywhere in Europe. Keep up the excellent work, Bro, and take care!
cheers tony Drummore sounds great but I guess being so far north the summer is a washout...
i ordered yesterday Nikon Aculon 10-22x50. jusy for fun, im not intro astronomy, birdwatching or hunting. just to carry in backpack while i go with the bicycle around my town.
now i cant wait to look at the sky! great inspirational video!
It's been so long!!!! Glad to see you back at it.
yeh I agree there's magic in seeing it in person as apposed to photos , great video , might have a go with our spotting scope see what that can pick up
Definitely you are the most entertaining and informative astro RUclipsr out there - glad to see you making new vids. Just found your channel today but saw most videos were 1-2 years old. Momentarily distressed, then saw this new one!! Cheers!
Awesomeness🤣
A pair of marine binoculars is what got me into astronomy. You can see way more than you think, even with crappy ones. The pair I have are just 7x50 but the field of view is so nice, because they are designed to be used on a rolling ship. I think I got mine at a flea market for 10 bucks.
One advantage of 7x50 is their use by seamen. you can buy amazing second hand ones from them.
thank you for coming back!
Awesome video! You should really revisit this experience but with multiple and more powerful astronomy binos like 10x50, 20x80 and 25x100!
I love your channel. I have watched every video and I get the feeling you are so excited about what's out there in space and you just want to bring in as many people as possible into amateur astronomy so that they can experience the same joy. The focus on making astronomy affordable is such a great idea. I got myself a pair of binoculars and am starting my own journey and I must say that Sod's law thing is true...the clouds showed up the very first night I took out the binoculars. Its crazy.
thank you so much for doing this so i could live vicariously through you!! i love your passion for the stars!!
This is such a wonderful video. I learnt a lot and funnily looking at all the fancy coloured pictures I assumed that's how night sky looked like through a naked eye. Now i know the difference between astro photography, binocular vision and our vision.
Well, I've got a small telescope (130mm) and also binoculars, and thought I wouldn't need the binoculars cause they wouldn't really be useful. But now knowing that I can see like that with them I'm definitely bringing them with me in my trips.
I remember using professional night vision to look at the night sky and I was totally blown away...
What should i buy to see the clear night sky🙏😵
Bloody amazong mate! I'm from the USA, and just bought a set of of 12 x 42 binocs, mainly for sky watching. I have a manual control 4.5" Reflector, and our kids cheap 2.5' refractor. I haven't even had a chance to try out the Binoculars yet. Hope to tonight. Thank you so much for posting this. I love the different equipment you have, especially the one that you pointed out for photography. I took pics years ago with my old 35mm camera and timed exposure, but just now getting back into astronomy, and astrophotography. I have subbed and LOVE this channel! THANK YOU!!
Just want to say THANK YOU! I have an astro rig but learning to use Bino's has opened up the ability to share with my parents. My parents are older and they have never seen what we get to see. So, because of you and how geeky cool you are... My Celestron 20x80 Pro's came today. I cant wait to plant the bino's on my tripod and share with my Mom and Dad. Imagine what they will think of me when I show them the live bino view then show my exposure from my rig. SUPER COOL! Thank again friend!
Binoculars are a lovely way to get into astronomy, stargazing and observing. Lovely video as always mate!
One time I saw the reflection of the moon in my swimming pool while I was looking through my telescope in the backyard. So I decided to focus on the reflection of the moon with the telescope and it looked exactly the same as when I was looking directly at the moon.
Thumbnail gave the impression that you were viewing Space through binoculars while IN Space,
i.e. from a Space Station or Capsule. Now that would make for some truly out of this world imagery.
I do know that modified pair of Leica Trinovids went to the Moon aboard the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
I don’t know if any Astronaut made use of that monocular (“One Small Image for Man…..”).
Love the video! The boyfriend and I will be trying to see the night sky with binoculars in the days to come. Hopefully we can be as successful as you! PS glad to see you're still posting 😊
The moment you first look at the sky through binoculars is amazing. It doesn't matter even if you have some light pollution as you still suddenly see ten times more stars than before. If you are in a dark area well it's nothing short of amazing how the sky opens up to you! I remember a good few years ago looking up on a dark night with a simple pair of 10 x 50's for the first time since I was a kid and I was metaphorically blown away.
Just bought some Celestron binoculars and can't wait. Really super cool that you tried to replicate what you were seeing.
amazing as always
Superb. Stay safe mate! Stay positive
Love your vids man!
I have a pair of 7x50 binoculars from grandpa sitting on the shelf. It was always to heavy to take it for hiking. I had no idea it can be used as an astronomical tool! Thank you for this advice.
7X50s were Sir Patrick Moore favored hand held binocular format. The current fashion favors 10X50s. In a dark sky 7x50s get more light, but in urban skies they also pass more light pollution, hence the current intestets in 10X and even 12X handhelds.
Great to see you back!
Inspiring video. I would say that even though you can hand hold binoculars, putting them on even a cheap tripod can make a huge difference; especially to see something like Jupiter’s moons.
I Love ur Videos!
awesome to see a new vid by ya :)
Good video :) I am a binocular observer also .. I have been into amateur astronomy for a long time and have witnessed some stunning sights, at magnitude 5.8 planet Uranus is technically visible with the naked eye, so I always wondered if anyone Arab astronomers in particular had logged observations prior to Hershel's discovery of the planet in 1781.
Armed with finder charts acquired from Astronomy and Sky & Telescope magazines, one journeyed to a couple of rural dark sky locations on Moonless nights to see if it could be seen .. in WW2 British Night Binoculars with which Neptune is visible as a dark blue disc it is a fairly easy sight at any time.
While the planet was at near opposition and under dark skies Uranus was visible with the naked eye as the merest speck, believe it or not the planet's natural aqua color was discernible .. despite it is just a speck I always felt someone seafarer or Arab who routinely viewed the stars should have been aware of it.
One night with the same binocs planet Saturn was like a tiny photograph of itself as presumably a mass of clear air moved overhead, NGC 5128 called Centaurus A appeared in the binocs one time only looking exactly as it does in photos, very low contrast however.
The most spectacular sight in my career as an amateur astronomer came while searching for planet Mercury on the eastern horizon one morning not long before sunrise in near daylight, after scanning across the Beehive Cluster which looked like a "bag of dots," M33 came into view as a truly prodigious bag of glittering dots which were individual stars in the Galaxy.
The most puzzling thing I witnessed came when I was marking Pluto's position with the same binos .. ok we know that at 14th magnitude Pluto is totally invisible to the naked eye as well it is well below the threshold of the 7x50's, however if you have finder charts you can locate its position.
I was doing that one night while the planet was near opposition, I had found a couple of 8th mag guide stars and was searching for 9th mag stars that would if I had the right gear have guided me to the right place .. now understand this was all thru binocs and well below naked eye visibility.
Movement caught my eye and there was a light blinking on and off and swinging across an arc of about one and a half degrees like the pendulum on a clock, it had a period of about one second I observed about six swings then took the binocs away, when I went back I could not find it again. Cheers from Brisbane Au.
Those british WW" night binoculares are the famous 6x42 "cat eyes"?
Love your combination of astronomy and entertainment :-)
I've got all sorts of telescopes but like Biscuit, never really got into the binoculars.
Today, I reconditioned a pair of old Jason 10x50s and went on Amazon and bought the Cometron 7x50s. Two cheap pairs that I don't have to worry about too much and my son and I can use them for space or for sporting events.
I have a feeling I'll be going deep on binos sooner than later, it's just how I roll... but for now we're covered.
I searched for this exact video for ages I mean similar to this video. I always wanted to know how the milky way looks like through human eyes 👀. I searched but only got time-lapses. Thank you for this video ❤️
Finally a new Video! Great one!
Great to see another video! Hands down my favourite astronomy Channel
Thanking you kindly😀
Well I've just ordered a nice pair of binoculars and I live 5 miles from Dartmoor so I know what i'll be doing when they arrive. Thanks for this video, Its a good example of not having to spend hundreds on equipment to see the stars.
So nice top see another video from you in my feed!
This is my favorite stargazing channel!
awesome. more on the way
I was just looking into buying one to see the comet that is now just passing by, didn't think it could help me see much else. This video gave me chills and now I'm having en even harder time about what bino to buy
Just bought Oberwerk binos coming soon . So keen on gettting out into the dark! Thanks for sharing
Since I was a kid I had binoculars. I never once turned them toward the sky at night. Then Astronomy entered my life. Yay Binos!!!
He's back! GREAT vid, Rory!
cheers jens
Awesome work Astrobiscuit!!
Cheers jeff😀
Great video. I always use my binoculars, (7x50's or 20x80's), and camera tripod when travelling light or whilst my 'scopes cooling down.
I've got a binoculars (Olympus 10x50 DPS 1) which I bought to look at the night sky, but I haven't spent that much time with them. Your video has given me the push to go out tonight and have a look. I didn't realise that you could see this kind of stuff with them.....excited now. Subscribed.
I have got the same model. You need steady hands to get a decent view, I mean images get a bit shaky without a tripod while observing the night sky.
I started with that same model. Saw lots through there but I wish I had bought the Nikon A211 instead. I know your comment is 2 years old but for anyone who sees this now and is thinking about getting the Olympus DPS or S binos, get the Nikon ones instead! They’re the same price and have much better coating and prism glass.
@@mustang5132 thanks for the tip. I wanted to buy the dps1, but now I am looking at the nikon a211. Which one should I buy? The 7x50 or 7x35 or 8x42 or 10x42 or 10x50 ? I am a beginner
@@TheRockyBalboa100 I would say either the 7x50 or the 10x50. You will see a bit more depth and some more detail in targets such as globular clusters with the 10x50s but things will be quite a bit less bright and there will be more shake. The 7x50 won’t show you smaller targets as large but you’ll have a much wider field of view and everything will be significantly brighter. Furthermore they’re much easier to keep steady. You’ll see many more dim stars with those as the exit pupil is bigger too. As someone who owns binos in various sizes and of various quality, I’d personally choose the 7x50 over the 10x50 especially for this model of binocular. Do you have a specific budget that you could share? Maybe I could give you a better recommendation
@@mustang5132 thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it.
My budget is around maximum: 150 euros. Maybe I could go to a maxiumum of 200 euros.
It will be my first binocular. My objection is just to have a lot of fun when observing the night sky and I want to learn the constellations. So I will also buy a planisphere.
When I am more familiar with the night sky I want to buy a top tier binoculars for around 500 euros or even 1000 euros (only if it ever will become a burning passion). But not right now (maybe after 5 or so years). I cant justify spending 500+ euros as a beginner.
For now I am just looking for a good binocular which will satisfy my needs for the next maybe 5 years so that I can learn a lot about the constellations and astronomy. 200 euros is the maximum.
I will look for the A221 7×50. If you could recommend me something better, just mention it. Price does not matter as long it isnt 300 euros or more. Maybe I can find a second hand deal.
I bought some second hand 7x50s and 10x50s and had a jolly good time looking up at the stars, but now I've bought a Celestron Skymaster Pro 20x80, it's coming in tomorrow, I cant wait to stargaze with it.
When i was in Australia a few years ago a friend who worked at the radio telescope in Canberra had a pair of Fujinon 10 x 70 binos on a tripod which we looked at the sky with in her garden, they were Brilliant.
Fujis are among the best of the astronomy binoculars you can buy. My 7X50 fit the whole Southern Cross.
Thank you for sharing, love your enthusiasm!
Thank you very much for sharing the fun and adventure! Well done! All the best from east Texas!
Hi... I have seen the dust on the seven sisters 25 years ago on a very clean and dark night with a 10 x 70 Fujinon Polaris... that time I also see M51/ 2 cores in a 5" Maksutov with a 26 mm eyepiece.... Nice video.
The verdict is this is AMAZING. Genius idea to bring this to light.
1 minute and 36 seconds i knew i was going to love your channel. thank you 💕
Awesome channel! The only downside? the long wait between videos! Great content, keep it up!
Thx😄 i agree about the wait but gotta feed the family annoyingly and this has to be a sideline.
Great video, I have a pair of 20x80 celestron binoculars. Can see Orion’s nebula,Venus,and the moon perfectly.
Many thanks for this video. Nice job you done.
Superb shots 💫!
There is a sense of awe looking up at the stars and planets through binoculars, even tho what you see doesn't look like star maps. Binoculars is all I have, great memories.
So happy to have stumbled across your channel. I purchased a pair of Orion 20x80 binoculars and a tripod last year and couldn't be happier. A snap to set up and thanks to stereoscopic vision, there's a depth to the viewing that one doesn't experience with a telescope. This summer I'm hoping to finally invest in a proper telescope, but I know I'll still be using my binoculars as well. I'm now subscribing to your channel.
Good job, this is hard to show newbies and you've done a good job here.
Just started my amateur astronomy journey with a 10x50 SkyGenius, already looking amazing! Planning on getting a 6” dobsonian for Christmas!
i;m gonna try this tonight! my first step into astronomy
now I'm subscribing after watching a couple of your video.. very nice and helpful videos.. good job sir!
Enjoyed your video. Keep reaching for the stars! Lovely!
