Looking up and beyond

When I was a kid I use to look at the stars through some of the cheapest optics around.   I remember the first time I looked through my Uncle’s Bushnell Binoculars and I was amazed at how clear the stars and the sky could be seen.    There’s a big difference between all of the differing brands and levels of optics, but for most practical purposes there is a pretty broad middle of the road.   My Uncles optics were a pair of Bushnell binoculars and he’s had them for decades

I picked up a pair of 10×42 H2O Binocular 10X 42 Standard Water-Proof, Porro Prism Black Rubber this year and I’m reliving my childhood explorations.   A good pair of binoculars can be used for anything from 4th of July viewing, hunting, bird watching, Stargazing or being a part of the neighborhood watch.    I know a neighbor that was able to bust a drug dealer with a pair of binoculars and he used it to help relay info to a 911 dispatcher which helped the arresting police officer know where a weapon was hidden.   Would you pay $80 to do all of that?
