Apogee Binoculars Are Perfect For Stargazer's And Bird Watchers Alike!
Apogee binoculars have a long standing reputation as one of the best brands of binocular for stargazing.
Apogee's Astro-Vue binoculars feature optics that give you bright, sharp, high quality images, as well as built-in "Dark-Sky Nebula Filters" that you can easily flip in or out with the flick of your thumb.
These filters are made to enhance your astronomical viewing pleasure by increasing contrast when viewing emission nebulae, planetary nebulae, and supernova remnants. Apogee binoculars are great by themselves or to use as a secondary to a regular telescope.
Apogee binoculars usually come with a nylon case and carrying strap and typically feature:
- Multi-coated optics for bright and sharp images
- High-quality Bak-4 glass prisms
- Rainguard
- Objective cups
- Lens cloth
- Tripod adapter
- 1 year Apogee warranty
Weighing in at as much as 8.5 lbs, it's hard to imagine having to hold it up for long periods of time. As such, a tripod is something you should give serious thought to. So it's nice to get the tripod adapter with it.
Many Apogee binoculars have individual eyepiece focus (IF) which is a great system for viewing medium-range to long-range objects. Others come with a center focus, which is preferable if you're going to be refocusing it back and forth quite a bit from near to far, such as in bird watching.
If you're going to be using them for stargazing, you'll want your Apogee binoculars to feature the individual eyepiece focus. Their close focus range is from 21 feet to 60 feet and they weigh in between 2.5 lbs. and 8.5 lbs.
Apogee binoculars are simple, but very sturdy, binoculars. They get the job done well, no matter if you're peering at the stars or at something closer, like a small Hummingbird.
