Orion Resolux WP 10.5x70 Astronomical Binoculars
Product Description
Resolux binoculars are our new favorite astro binoculars (and equally superb for long-distance daytime viewing), combining high-resolution, flat-field optics with rugged mechanical construction and the strict JTII spec for collimation. They are fully waterproof, and nitrogen purged to prevent internal lens fogging. The BAK-4 prisms and advanced multi-coatings on all optical surfaces really drink in the light. The eyepieces focus individually, and with 18mm or more of eye relief on each model, even eyeglass wearers will see the full field of view. The Resolux's all-metal housing is armored with thick rubber to ensure a secure, comfortable grip. Each binocular comes with tethered lens caps, heavy-duty tripod adapter, and neck strap. The 50mm models include a padded soft carrying case. Two-year limited warranty.

This series of large nitrogen purged, waterproof binoculars stand alone in the field of combined performance and image quality. The same care that goes into making our high-end telescopes is evident in our large aperture binoculars.The Vixen ARK Series binoculars are used for viewing the starry sky or long distance terrestrial viewing. All binoculars can be either hand held, or for the most stable viewing platform, mounted on our Porta mount or a photographic tripod (with the optional tripod adapter).The 80mm diameter lenses of these units allow the observer to take in such celestial sights as the Orion or Lagoon Nebula and other celestial wonders. The Milky Way, the Moon and bright comets will jump out at you with this combined aperture and power.The optics on the Vixen ARK series binoculars are multicoated and the prisms are made from BaK4 glass. This combination allows for the greatest transfer of light through the optics. Other benefits include rugged optical housings, fine focusing and a right eye dioptor to allow for left/right eyesight differences.

Alright im having a tough decision here. Before, I had my heart set on this pair of binoculars http://www.opticsplanet.net/nikon-10x50-action-binoculars-7218.html
But now im not sure if these will be sufficient for what I want. I want to be able to view planets with clarity. People have been raving about this telescope http://www.opticsplanet.net/bush-ts-785003.html
They all say its great for beginners, and one reviewer said that the rings of saturn he saw blew him away!
Binoculars would be a lot easier to use because with telescopes it will be troublesome to be dragging whole thing around the house. Please, tell me, which one of these would be best for my needs. I need to stay within the $0-100 price range by the way incase you have any suggestions. Thanks!!!

Hey my birthday is coming up at the end of april and i have been wanting to get a new telescope or a pair of astronomical binoculars. I already have a telescope. But its cheap and not very good.
I was wondreing what are the pros and cons of getting binculars vs a new telescope.
I love the porotbialitiy of the binuculars but i also adore seeing other planets as a teleescope would do.
well here is my telescope
