Astrobiscuit | What Does Space Look Like through Binoculars? @Astrobiscuit | Uploaded March 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
As there are lots of really big objects in space, and as many of them appear larger than the moon, I decided to begin my journey in binocular astronomy with widefield 7x50 binoculars.

The Opticron Imagic TGA 7x50's only cost me £69 - amazing - unfortunately they are now discontuinued HOWEVER my fantastic budget Opticron binoculars are not now the best bang for your buck. You will see the similar views with Celestron Cometron 7x50 binoculars:
***Want to buy a similar pair of BINOCULARS? ***
Celestron Cometron 7x50 ($40ish) in the USA: amzn.to/31rVwcY
or in the UK and Europe these £50 binos are greatvalue : bit.ly/helios10x50binosUK
Or if you want a really fancy pair with a very nice crisp and contrasty views I suggest...
Celestron Skymaster 9x63. these are on a deal in the US ($250): bit.ly/9x63celestronbinos
And good value here in Europe too: bit.ly/9x63celestronEU

From my home in London I can see the moon and the planets and the sun and globular clusters and open clusters with binoculars but to get the really faint stuff you need to be somewhere dark. So I went to Dartmoor National Park in Devon. Thank you Fiona and Stephen and family for making me so welcome. If anyone else want to pop to the same spot its here...

This was really the first time I've had the opportunity to just kick back and look at the stars, nebula and galaxies through binoculars somewhere really dark. The last time I was on Dartmoor with binos was when I tried to shoot the Andromeda galaxy with my phone through some even cheaper binos. The results were good and I'm really pleased with the video - its my most popular one

but I didn't spend any time at all just looking. Up until now I've really concentrated on astrophotography but this experience was cool and its making me think more and more about observing. And to see the faint stuff I need to be in complete darkness. Problem is to film in complete blackness is useless. I had to have some light on me for my phone to be able to film me and that in turn ruined my night vision. I'd be really keen for more experienced binocular astronomers to let me know if you can see more with proper night vision and if so how much more. Also if anyone has any suggestions for bigger better binos (but also quite cheap as coronavirus has decimated my earnings (I make tv shows) then please let me know.
Hope you like this video all the best and stay safe ;-)
