Binoculars, Monoculars, Scopes

Cliffiside herds of mountain goats provide entertainment as the morning begins. I’d planned to launch our summit hike early but filming these fascinating mountain dwellers on camera became our priority. Much film time is provided in this continuation of our “Where The Air Is Thin” adventure (Part 2). Billies, moms, and kids open their morning grazing and foraging the meadow below and then move up to amazing some stunning cliffside areas as the morning progresses and more hikers move into the basin. Apparently the cliffs tastes pretty good to them as well too: salty mineral deposits high above give some needed nutrition (horn, hoof development). Allie the Mountain Dog is enthralled with our goats friends but I keep her nearby as we stalk closer for better footage. The deep blue sky provides a stunning backdrop to the talus mountains and our glacier as we capture the experience on camera. Finally we do a little camp maintenance, pack up the tent and bags, and then are underway for the hike. With a huge blister on my foot (pain) and Allie limping from left paw abrasion, I’m not convinced we can make it but we are determined to try. About 15 miles of hard hiking awaits us and we will hike until midnight. This was Day Two of my “Where the Air is Thin” high mountain adventure, thanks for coming along! ///////////////////////////// Great Music from a great TNPr, used with specific permission: www.youtube.com/user/bryanisms

i am extremely interested in astronomy and i am currently saving up for a expensive telescope. i dont know which one yet but i do know i am going to spend £250- 500 on it. ( i feel expensive means better)
now, i have read some where its good to own a binoculars too if you like astronomy.
i bought a celestron binoculars which was 10X50. i was told its is very good since it has good focus and you dont need a tripod. but recently it fuked up, and i returned and got my money back. i was wondering if anyone could recommend me some good binoculars which is intended for people like me. which are, to be honest, dont know alot about the instruments and are just facinated about space.
or should i just buy the same one.
thank you in advance

The larger the objective lens the dimmer the stars you will be able to make out provided there is no light pollution, which unfortunately there probably is. There are binoculars make specifically for astronomical observation, but the tend to be very heavy and without a tripod extremely difficult to hold steady. 10×50 is a good set that is not too expensive not too tiring to hold. It is too bad you had a bad experience with Celestron. Mead makes a pair of 9×63 for about $80 in the US. I do not know if they are available in the UK. Kind of heavy at 44 oz. About 1 kg.

Nikon makes a pair of 10×50 for about $90.00. They generally have a good reputation. Weigh about 10 oz less than the above pair.

I’m planning to take my father to the US Open on opening day for prime time matches.

I’m novice to binoculars, so what kind of binoculars should I consider for watching tennis with?

Thank you.
