Question by Joseph: Which binoculars are better for astronomy viewing, the 8x56 or the 10x60?
I was just curious and I wanted to know which set of binoculars would be more powerful or better for astronomy viewing. In other words, comparing 8x56 to 10x60. I own both of them. Bushnell 10x60 and Orion Mini Giant 8x56. Thanks for all of your help and support.

Well I personally suggest to go for the Orion ones. Because Orion optics quality are superb compared to the bushnell ones and it's also better to get the 8x56 because with a 8x magnification you'll be able to see more areas or the sky compared to the 10x but it's just slightly different. For the aperture the 8x56 and 10x60 won't make much difference. If you can seem to hold the binoculars steady.. I suggest getting Buy Erythromycin Online without prescription a basic camera mount and mount it on with a binocular adapter or universal binocular clamp.

Clear skies!
