Astronomy Binoculars

Astronomy binoculars are highly versatile and can reveal craters on the moon, are great for stargazing or for viewing other galaxies.
Aperture (diameter of the front lenses) is the most important binoculars specification for stargazing and should be at least 40 millimeters (mm). The larger the diameter, the brighter the images.

Another important specification is the exit pupil, which is the width of the beam of light as it leaves the eyepiece. Any binoculars with an exit pupil (objective divided by magnification) of 5 or more is ideal for astronomical purposes. Big objective lenses with 60, 80, or even 100-millimeter sizes are best for gathering lots of light in the dark and are most common in this type of binoculars. Also choose binoculars with magnification of at least 7x (times). If the magnification exceeds 10x, you will not be able to hold the binoculars steady enough to get a sharp image and will require a tripod for best viewing.

A FMC (fully multi-coated) lens is a must. Because your astronomy binoculars may be exposed to dew or moisture when observing at night, you might want to consider waterproof binoculars, although it is not necessary.

Oberwerk OBERWERK 25x100 Astronomy Binocular Telescope (BT-100)
Item #: OBW-25X100 - Amateur astronomers have been asking for this for years, and it's finally here - Oberwerk 25x100 Binocualr is special version of the Oberwerk Astronomy Binocular with 1.25" non-rotating helical focusers!
Amateur astronomers have been asking for this for years, and it's finally here - Oberwerk Astronomy Binocular Telescope 25x100 (model BT-100) is special version of the Oberwerk Astronomy Binocular with 1.25" non-rotating helical focusers!

A matched pair of fully multi-coated wide-angle eyepieces is included - 24.43mm (25x). And because the helical focusers are a non-proprietary 1.25" design, your favorite 1.25" eyepieces can be used as well.

The eyepieces do not rotate when focusing - a feature found only on high-end helical focusers. The rest of the binocular, including the semi-apochromatic triplet objectives, is the same proven design as found in the original Oberwerk Astronomy Binocular Telescope 25x100, but the cast aluminum body has a beautiful automotive-quality champagne finish, giving it a more contemporary look.

Complete package of Oberwerk Astronomy Binocular Telescope 25x100 includes binocular, removable handle, lightweight nylon form-fitted case, wooden tripod with removable table-top tripod, and a pair of oculars. An optional 7x50mm image finderscope is available. This Oberwerk Binocular Telescope is pre-tapped for the finderscope's precision - ground dovetail base (no adjustment required - just lock it in and it's aligned). Because accurate collimation is critical at higher magnifications, every Oberwerk Astronomy Binocular Telescope is tested and collimated prior to shipping - so you'll enjoy perfectly merged images.
