Bird watching binoculars need to be good in all light conditions, from dawn to dusk, and even have limited night vision. With the beginning of spring migration it is time to consider investing in new binoculars.
Most places specializing in Binoculars cover birding and hunting and astronomy which are too powerful for the marine environment. Monoculars permits the use of only one eye to view the articles which causes some problems. When choosing a night binocular first decide what you are going to use it for.
If you are using binoculars with a large, heavy objective lens it is helpful, if not necessary, to stabilize them by either resting them on something or mounting them on a tripod. You will need a magnification factor of at least 7, maybe up to 10 if you have a steady hand. A pair of binoculars that reads 7x50 can magnify things seven times stronger than they actually are with a 50mm objective lens.
Each coating is designed to provide the maximum transmission of light through the lens, and minimum reflection and diffraction, resulting in a brighter, clearer picture than with standard non-coated lens models. If performance is your main consideration, full sized binoculars are preferred. Many things, such as overall design and quality of glass impact this specification, magnification and objective lens diameter are the chief components.
You'll see everything clearer and you won't want to travel without them. Despite all of your preventive measures, there will come a time when your binoculars are damaged.
