Update to September 2nd Stargazing

Here is an image of how the Andromeda Galaxy, M15, NGC 457, M45 and Jupiter looked like with the 20x80 Orion GiantView Binoculars. These are not images that I took myself, but made to look like what I saw that night from by backyard. Click on the image for the full size resolution.

What's In The Package?

It's the Orion GiantView 20x80 Binoculars! Sometimes when viewing the night sky and you don't want to set up a large telescope, whipping out some ultra-portable binoculars can do the trick nicely. I had previously owned some 10x50 Humvee binoculars which had allowed me to view the Andromeda galaxy for the first time, however it really was just a very faint blur in a sea of stars. The Orion GiantView 20x80 Binoculars fills that gap between low-power binoculars and a telescope where it has enough light-gathering power to view Deep Space Objects (DSO) and not have the setup time involved. The only downside to the GiantView 20x80 is that it is a little heavy to hold, so using a tripod is recommended (and the binoculars come with a built-in mount for photo/video tripods).

The Orion GiantView Binoculars come with a nice padded case for protection.




The glass in this binocular are fully multi-coated to minimize light loss.
