The Magnifier for Sighting Stars

Since the magnification of the binoculars is often very small (10x in our example), you
will be able to observe vast fields of stars, even more extensive than those which you would see
in a small telescope of 60 mm. Indeed, the telescope will grow stronger which will reduce the
field of vision.

A pair of binoculars is therefore ideal for viewing large areas of the sky and ideally in a
very open area, such as a meadow or altitude area away from any light. Thus, while in the city it
is impossible to see the Milky Way in the middle of summer because of light pollution, in the
Alps, in the Valle d’Aosta for example to 1500 or 2000 m altitude, you see as much almost only
on the photographs. It’s a really beautiful show for which binoculars are all you need. Think
about it for your holidays!

On the other hand, the binoculars having a small diameter, the image of the stars remains
very small. If you love astronomy, watching planets or galaxies, I suggest you replace your
binoculars with an instrument with a larger diameter and longer focal length. You have the
choice between the telescope and the telescope.

The telescope consists of a lens that aims to collect light and focus it towards the
eyepiece that provides magnification. The larger the focal length of the lens, the easier it will be
to enlarge the image and the shorter the eyepiece, the higher the magnification.
