This results in a far crisper, clear image with minimal chromatic aberration (strange colours) around the image. It can be most easily understood by thinking about HD TV compared to standard. Compact Vs Full Size

We hope you have found this guide on the best binoculars for kids useful! Why not buy your children a pair of binoculars today? You will be surprised at the different ways they can use them. The second number refers to lens size. A larger lens will make the image brighter and clearer, especially in low light, but will also make the binoculars bigger and heavier (and probably more expensive)So you’re on the lookout for a pair of binoculars? Whether this is your first pair or perhaps you’re looking to upgrade, whatever your situation we’ve got a pair for you. What do the numbers mean? Binoculars' fields of view vary from about 10° (the size of the Big Dipper's bowl, or the size of your fist held at arm's length) for wide-angle models, to a mere 2° (the width of your thumb at arm's length) for high-power models. Most of the time, though, the field of view is about 5° to 8° wide: about as much sky as is covered by a golf ball or squash ball held at arm's length. What Can I See? In recent years there's been a new twist on the bigger-is-better theme: giant binoculars. These are impressive, even imposing-looking devices. It's as if someone put your friendly 7×50s on steroids. Common apertures include 70, 80, and even 100 mm. (Fujinon even makes a 150-mm model — the equivalent of two 6-inch telescopes, one for each eye!) For such beasts a tripod, preferably with a special binocular mount that allows you to aim upward, is mandatory. While they're a good supplement to your gear collection, I don't recommend giant binoculars as your primary instruments — they're just too unwieldy. Get more modest 7×40s or 10×50s first, and consider buying these big shots later. Big, high-power binoculars really need a proper mount. Parallelogram-style mounts, like the two shown here on tripods, are far and away the best design. My take on this? I'm in the low-power camp. I don't find the visual difference between 7× and 10× all that great, but I'm noticeably less fatigued when using low-power glasses. If you get the chance, give both a good try and see which you prefer. The exit pupils are the little disks of light you see floating behind the eyepieces.

As a result, we advise thinking about your children’s age and using binoculars. This will make a significant difference in the binoculars you buy for them. DurabilityAstronomy is done in the dark, so you really want big aperture: big front lenses. These collect lots of light so you can see fainter things. This doesn't matter so much in the daytime, when there's plenty of light and you can get by with small front lenses — allowing daytime binoculars to be smaller, lighter, and less expensive. But for binoculars for astronomy, the bigger the aperture the better. If you're looking for the best optical quality binoculars that are also lightweight for carrying long distances, and that let you see your observations from a far distance, these are possibly the best compact binoculars you can buy, and I've tested a few!
