Sander MeijerEvery one has a guilty pleasure in his backpack. Something that is probably not really required, but just increases joy. My wife got me a new one: proper binoculars. During hikes I love to sit on a bench and just take in the landscape for a longer period of time. Lately I'm focussing on a-typical features on ridges etc. Zooming in with binoculars let's me check them in more detail. It lets one dream: "has anyone ever been up there".My colleague showed me his Nikon Prostaff P7 10x42 and was blown away by the clarity and brightness (which is easy, as I'm not a pro in these matters and everything beats 30 euro binoculars). Played with it this morning at it turns out I can now clearly see the buildings on Schynige Platte and the Faulhorn from my A1 spot on the kitchen table. This is going to be fun!<a href="https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/reviews/nikon-prostaff-p7-10x42-review" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/reviews/nikon-prostaff-p7-10x42-review</a><a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Binoculars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Binoculars</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Nikon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nikon</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hiking</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Landscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Landscape</a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Mountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mountains</a>

J. Steven York RESISTSI think I paid about $15 at a Goodwill for this pair of Sears, 7 x 50 binoculars on a whim to throw in my car. They're battered, heavy, and old, but they turned out to be the best sky watching binocs I've ever owned. Great for looking at the moon. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/eclipse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eclipse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/skywatching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skywatching</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/binoculars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#binoculars</a>

DouglasDoes anyone have a recommendation for an affordable pair of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/binoculars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#binoculars</a> that I can keep in the glove box in my truck? I've got some nicer pairs but I don't want to leave them in the truck all of the time and I often forget to take them with me if we're going somewhere for an afternoon.

However, my cataract surgery left me with one eye for distance and one for reading (which, honestly, is how my eyes have always worked). I assume binocs with individual focus would work best . Is that correct? Recommendations for something moderately priced?

SellaTheChemist<a href="https://techhub.social/@Sonikku" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Sonikku</a> A lot to be said for binoculars, a tripod, and a sheet of paper.

PrivacyDigestFor those ( like me ) who have not won the <a href="https://mas.to/tags/eclipse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eclipse</a> glasses lottery.The Warby Parker website says that they have run out, but did provide an alternative. It works like a PinHole camera, but projects onto paper( no direct looking at sun but at projected image) There is also a similar trick that can be done using a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/binoculars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#binoculars</a> ( but backwards ). Do NOT look through the binoculars. use it to project an image on a piece of paper. <a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/assets/pdf/solar-eclipse-2024.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.warbyparker.com/assets/pdf/solar-eclipse-2024.pdf</a>

Time Isn’t Real CrooshHey, <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/birders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birders</a>, I’m in the market for small, but powerful, lightweight travel binocs. Something that I can easily fit in a small bag and that won’t hurt my neck if that’s how I’m carrying them. And that won’t disappoint optics wise. I’d also love to not spend a gazillion dollars.
