Binoculars & Spotting Scopes

Binoculars are the most underrated astronomy instrument. Two eyes see fainter detail than one, the wide field makes it easy to find your way around the sky, and a pair of 10x50s shows the moons of Jupiter, the Andromeda Galaxy and dozens of star clusters. The same optics serve for birding, hiking and travel during the day. Spotting scopes add more magnification in a compact, weather-sealed body for wildlife and long-range viewing.

This collection includes binoculars, spotting scopes, monoculars, binocular mounts and microscopes from Celestron, SVBONY, Explore Scientific, Kowa, APM, William Optics and others.

Choosing Binoculars for Astronomy

  • 7x50 and 10x50: Easy to hold, bright and wide. The classic astronomy sizes.
  • 15x70 and 20x80: More magnification and light, but need a tripod or binocular mount.
  • Large binoculars (100 mm and up): Explore Scientific BT and APM models with interchangeable eyepieces, essentially two telescopes side by side.
  • Exit pupil: Aperture divided by magnification. 5 to 7 mm suits dark skies and young eyes, 4 to 5 mm suits most adults.

Spotting Scopes

Spotting scopes give 20x to 60x or more for birds, wildlife and target shooting, and can show lunar craters and Saturn's rings. ED glass reduces colour fringing on high-contrast edges. A steady tripod is essential above 30x. See spotting scopes.

Binoculars and Spotting Scopes: Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best binoculars for astronomy?

For handheld use, a good 10x50 or 8x42. For more detail, 15x70 on a tripod. Quality prisms, full multi-coating and good collimation do more for the view than size.

Can I use a spotting scope for astronomy?

Yes for the Moon, planets and bright objects. A telescope gives more aperture for the money for deep-sky.
