Hello all, Having always been fascinated with the cosmos I have always meant to get some specific equipment for observing. I have, I think, done enough research to come to the conclusion that 10x50 Bins are what I want to get me started. Of which I found these, Celestron UpClose 10X50 Binoculars: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo Now after finding out why these were what I wanted (eg. a good exit pupil of 5(mm?)) I searched for the, what I believe to be, next level up of 12x60. Of which I found these from the same manufacturer, Celestron SkyMaster 12x60 Center Focus Astronomy Binoculars - Binoculars at Binoculars Unless my assumptions are incorrect these have the same exit pupil and thus will give a similar image sharpness but the second giving a greater magnification. Is it suggested that I save up for the 12x60 Skymasters (around £60-£70) or shall I just go for the cheaper 10x50s upcloses (around £20)? I must say that I am not the sort of person who would easily get bored of this hobby (therefore cheapness is not an issue) as have already invested a decent amount of time into book study, learning the lore of various stars and generally learning my constellations. I just now feel ready to see what I've read about. Hope you guys can clarify this for me.
