7x will give you a wider Field Of View, 10x will allow you to see fainter stars, as well as more in number.




x8 looks like a good compromise, but there are very few in the 8x50 range. Most are x40. I really want the extra aperture which is why the Mini Giants appeal to me so much, I still however, want a reasonable FOV. Any suggestions?
