The need for using sophisticated equipment for viewing the stars has limited the number of participants. So you've been bitten by the astronomy bug and want to get started with your very own telescope, but you're confused by the vast number of possible purchases?
For most uses, 8x is a good magnification to choose. They are suitable for a number of activities and adventures including bird watching, hiking, fishing, sporting events, stargazing, concerts, and nature observation. Many binocular lens cloths are available today, and generally they are meant for one-time use.
Hunters use binoculars, too. The third- and fourth-generation night-vision binoculars show much clearer images at night, and are priced higher that the previous generation binoculars. The best result is achieved when multiple layers of coatings are applied, to the front and rear of the lens.
Prices of modern day monoculars range from the most expensive to very cheap. A tripod may be a good thing to have if you re using binoculars with high magnification. One fascinating use of binoculars is looking at the night sky.
The ones in the two to five hundred dollar price range are generally sufficient for bird watchers. Adding optional features and devices will also increase the cost but may be worth considering.
