Question about Astronomy Binoculars Review?
GiantView 15x70 Large-Aperture
GiantView 20x80 Large-Aperture
these are both pretty cheap it seems (~250)... is that a red-flag?
GiantView 25x100 Large-Aperture
ok finally MegaView 30x80 Wide Angle
these are about 500 are they worth the extra?
cool thanks
ps im hoping to see lgm's on vega so...
j/k, seeing the rings of saturn would be pretty good for me. any others? any info?

No binocular will give you a satisfactory view of Saturn's rings. You need at least 25x just to detect the rings (as an oval shape) and at least 100x for a satisfying view, which requires a telescope. Binoculars are primarily used for wide field views of star clusters and galaxies, not planets. I have no idea what an "lgm" is; I've never heard that term in 50 years in astronomy binoculars review!

Nebula will look like fuzzy white smudges as well as the nearest galaxy Andromeda. Regardless these are very well priced and will get you started on the right track, and if going far into astronomy doesn’t turn out to be your thing you’ll have a great pair of binoculars that while large, are still much more portable and versatile than a large telescope
I have the 20×80 Megaview. I love it!!!! Especially for clusters and general viewing of space. I love looking at Pleiades. It always takes my breath away.
The first number is the magnification and the second is the diameter of the objective lens. Technically it means a 30×80 has 10 times more magnification than a 20×80. I don't think you can see the rings of Saturn. You need at least a 6-inch Newtonian.
No, he giving you a complement. He is saying you could have spent the same amount of money at another place and got a lot less. That is you could have done worse at another place so you got a good deal.
This would give you only 1.5mm exit pupil. So, these would too dark for astronomy. Maybe good for brighly lit Moon, but not for much else. The magnification is very high, but at the cost of the brightness.

It is important to get a good Axis Alignment between the binoculars and the camera. Use 2 tripods or an attachment for the devices.
The 10×50 is just about ideal for star gazing——— and about the largest you can handhold ———– if you like those then later you can buy one of these
in say 20×80 BUT you will also need a tripod to hold it steady.
excellent answer
