Well, i forgot to mention that I've used a pair of celestron skymaster 15x70 before, for a while. But nothing serious, nothing methodical. Just moon, orions belt, plaiades and andromeda, occasionally...and nothing else much. I still have them but they're damaged. I had them since 2010...but I've rarely used them all this time.
My thought is that I still need binoculars, not a telescope. I could still get a lot from a pair of binoculars ..learn the sky better, for example. Expecially if I get some 25x100 on a parallelogram mount. I haven't had any mount for the 15x70, and I should have. I would have used them much more often
What do you think...should I get a 25x 100 on a parallelogram mount, and get a telescope later, if I stick with observing? I see a lot of recommendations for Oberwerk 25x100 IF. Should I get them and see in a while ? They're not that expensive, and I'm not gonna make them redundant soon, even if i get a telescope later. I enjoy observing with both eyes a lot
So what's your thinking...get this binoculars to replace my 15x70, use them yo get better with the basics, and see later about telescope ? If so, what solid P-mo6nt should i get for them ?
Thanks
PS: I started the topic with big AFOV binoculars, but I got carried away...they're too expensive, and I want to keep costs around 1000 for now. I'll see later
