Welcome to useful and useless things. In this episode a useful and moderately priced bit of kit. The Nikon Altarane 7x50 binoculars. I don't know why they call it Altarane, but it is all weather. It's mostly sealed. You don't have to worry about getting wet. The optics are quality. The mechanicals are very high quality. You don't get a good strap or a good case, but for this price I'm not surprised by that. The best thing about these binoculars is the 50mm aperture. That is much larger than you normally get in binoculars for this kind of price. That will allow you to see faint things like faint stars in the night sky, nebulae, things like that. They're really good for sky gazing. The lack of high magnification is not a drawback because you start to get up the higher magnification and things get very shaky. It's hard to look at things, especially things that are small in your field of view. It's great for that kind of application. We're just regular terrestrial use. 7X is actually pretty decent for a lot of applications. I recommend the Nikon Altarane, 7x50 binoculars. I will put a link down below where you can find your own. I suggest you check them out. They are very reasonably priced for such high quality. They are a useful thing.
