Q. “How do I choose the right magnification?”
Did you ever wonder….
A. Higher magnifications let you see further, but reduce how much area you can see through the binoculars at one time. Therefore lower magnifications are better for some uses.
• Magnifications of 2x to 5x are great for monoculars.
• Magnifications of 7x to 10x are perfect for most uses, like hiking, hunting, and birdwatching.
• Spotting scopes will have higher magnifications around 20x.
• For astronomy binoculars, magnifications of around 10x are fine. You may wish to look for telescopes or binoculars with magnification from 20x to 30x and up though. Some telescopes have magnifications as high as 160x and interchangeable eyepieces so you can use different magnifications, but often the larger options also need to be mounted on a tripod.
