While we are more than happy to answer questions and help spend your money wisely on upcoming bino purchases, knowing a bit about your planned usage and expectations is always helpful and appreciated. Please consider including the following information with your inquiries: Will your binoculars be used primarily... For astronomy? For daytime use? Under dark skies? Under urban skies? Handheld? (casual viewing) With a Tripod? (examining DSOs and double stars) For lower-power/widefield views? For higher-power/restricted-field views? While wearing eyeglasses? What is your binocular/stargazing experience? Do you have a price range in mind? The following 'primer' links have been provided for those not ready to delve into the multitude of more advanced information available here. Binocular FAQ Glossary of Binocular Terms Choosing Binoculars for Astronomy Also, be sure to check-out the Mini-Reviews , Best Of , and Web Links pinned to the top of this forum.
