Re: 25x100 Binocular questions please
      06/21/08 08:12 PM

Hi,

I am thinking of buy a pair of 25x100 binoculars, but before I buy, I was wondering if forum members could help me a couple of questions?.

I'm still a relative novice, and I was wondering if the narrow 2.5 degree fov, would make it difficult for me to navigate around the sky?. I do have a planisphere, but I still have some trouble.

Also, I was wondering if these binoculars would be especially bad at cutting through light pollution?. I live in NW England, where light pollution is bad, though I do already have a 10" dob.

I spotted these on ebay, they're sold by Telescope Service of Germany, which has a good reputation in Europe. I'm not absolutely sure, but I think there Oberwerk binoculars under a different name. here the link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TS-GIANT--BINOCULARS--25-x-100---Light-Gathering-Giant_W0QQitemZ370060365649QQcmdZViewItem?IMSfp=TL0806141117a8863

Best wishes
Stephen
