I prefer my Bushnell 13-1250 binoculars for sky gazing. Besides being too
lazy to set up equipment, there's the whole comfort factor. I can't think of anything more relaxing than lying on the beach with my gal, my glasses, and a trillion stars.

What's a 13-1250? It's can't have 1250mm objectives!

12 x 50 then? Not a bad size for astro gazing -provided color is
reasonably corrected. 12x is about as high as you can use without a stand or are they image stabilized? Cheers Scout wrote: Objective Lens Diameter 50 mm "Nav" wrote in message ... What's a 13-1250?

No stabilization, but I can usually find something to prop my arms with to
minimize movement. Scout "Nav" wrote in message ... 12 x 50 then?
