Sightron Stellarscan 2 x 40 Widefield Binoculars | First Light Optics

 

Thinking of taking some of these up the mountain in Tenerife. How effective are these types of ultra wide binos at observing the milkyway?

Hi Adam, I don't have that model but I do have The Orion 2x52 Wide Angl Binoculars, here in my bortle 4 sky they are amazing for constellations. I'm sure the 2x40 will be wonderful in Tenerife. I would also take another pair say 8x40 with you.

All the Best

They will be very pleasing.

 

different bins but I reviewed the vixen 2.1x42 back in 2014 after using them extensively in Namibia (Bortle 1).
