leupold 9x40 binoculars the easy way

Astronomy stores are accustomed to dealing with the confused beginner though of course not everybody has the opportunity to visit a specialist store. It's hard to track game if you can't see it.

Still, recent trends have brought down the price to more affordable levels. For astronomy use you will need at least 40mm aperture and preferably larger. If you bird by sitting in a favorite spot, then larger binoculars could be your choice.

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 can buy bird watching binoculars for as much as a thousand dollars. Many of the binoculars come with a carry case that can attach to a belt.

Binoculars with a magnification power greater than 10 will be difficult to hold steady. Next time you travel, bring your binoculars, they will not add measurable weight to your luggage.
