I must say that the binoculars designed by Kevin Busarow and his staff are always perfectly aligned with the needs of enthusiasts, especially amateur astronomers.
No matter how much — or how little — you have to spend, it makes sense to have one "grab-and-go" set of binoculars that you can trust to bring all the world's detail in closer; night or day, indoors or out. With their compact size, chunky-but-lightweight feel, superb clarity, lack of color distortion and precise focus, we believe that Oberwerks' 8x42 ED is the one binocular to have if you can have only one.
I believe it could be a definitive tool that encompasses the power of a telescope and the ease of use of binoculars, two features encouraged by viewing with two eyes.
I tested out a pair of Oberwerk 15x70 binoculars to see how they performed both during the day and at night. These binoculars are a great value for the price and quality and I highly recommend them for astronomy.
With two eyes — and therefore both brain hemispheres — engaged in active observing through these fast, color-fringe free, wide-field optics, you can feel completely enveloped in the universe; "lost in space" with your feet still comfortably on terra firma.
