These Nikon 18x70 Astroluxe binocluars and the Fujinon 16x70 are the cream of the large binocular crop. Not counting the astronomically priced Zeiss, Swarovski and Leica produced stuff.

There are some good lower cost options like the Oberwerk 15x70 Deluxe. (There is a pair of these on eBay for a cool $230 right now.) I own a pair of these and they are fantastic large objective lens binoculars. @Elliptica may be interested in these eBay specials.

You really need a solid tripod and mount to get the most out of these though. They come with a nice protective carrying case. #Binoculars


These Nikon 18x70 Astroluxe IF WP binoculars have a nice pleasant easy 65 degree Apparent FOV.

Nitrogen Purged & Waterproof Sealed
Individual Eyepiece Focus
Barium Crown glass prisms.
Fully Multicoated
4 degree True FOV

@EscapeVelo@nicecrew.digital:

I just picked up a pair of Nikon Astroluxe 18x70 IF WP binoculars. Found a good deal on Cloudy Nights.
@Elliptica will like this one.
