![]() ![]() Some may require that the view be flat and sharp from edge to edge, which typically means a less wide view though there are some notable exceptions. Only the best instrument for the intended observer, and for the intended purpose at hand. In my humble opinion, there is no absolute best instrument just as there is no one-size-fits-all instrument. I believe this is what the topicstarter wants to know Yes, I was also impressed by my 125mm Borg binoscope, but very soon I knew that I want more, I wanted the best and the biggest and so I can understand this question very well. The 150mm APM did change this completely, formerly faint fuzzies are now well visible and do make a lot of fun. I was never interested in faint fuzzies which are at the edge to be seen or being just imagination, they were always annoying to me, even with the 125mm Binoscope. ![]() The bigger the bino the more an unexperienced observer will see and while he collects experience he will see even more. This can be the reason to be disappointed and drop the hobby. Why I would not suggest to start with a smaller binocular.Īn unexperienced observer will see less than an experienced one in similar glasses. These days the biggest was the 150mm Fujinon which was as expensive as a car, straight through viewing and an achromat.įor even more money you could get an ED with 45° but still no interchangeable eyepieces.įore sure it was the biggest and the best, but in my opinion it was not really good and for sure not worth the astronomical price.įortunately times did change and there are way better options at lower prices today. I had many binoculars of different sizes in the past and did always dream of the biggest and the best. Taking the time to learn in depth is important to avoid the possibility of disappointment, IMO. There's a lot to learn, and acquiring large and fancy equipment alone is only a small part of the experience. I've been looking at the sky through binos for 50 years and still haven't opted to go beyond a 100mm BT myself. Perhaps a quality 100mm BT, which is still quite large and shows a lot, would be a better way to get into the learning curve and if the OP finds that a 100mm works for him, then make plans for a future larger instrument. Best for what? If the OP has no experience with bino telescopes, I think starting smaller and slower would be a better policy than jumping way into the deep end with a big, heavy, expensive 150mm BT setup on the first go. "Best" has to be relative to something and I don't know what expectations are held. I'm given the impression the OP is new to this. ![]() I see nothing about previoius experience with binoculars in this question. ![]()
