Trophy Xtreme binoculars deals
Our favorites: Trophy Xtreme 8x56
Price: $199.99 | Objective: 56mm | Magnification: 8x | Field of view: 5.71° | Length: 10in/ 254mm | Weight: 38oz/ 1079g.
The Bushnell Trophy Xtreme 8x56 binoculars are a solid choice for any stargazer out there. They offer a moderate angle of view and large objectives to gather as much light as possible. They can also be mounted to a tripod for a more comfortable viewing experience, to help with the weight of the binoculars.
Optics are multicoated throughout, the roof prism is a Bak-4 design, and nitrogen purging means they won't fog up. The rest of the Trophy range includes 10x50, 10x42 and 8x32 pairs, but none are as well adapted to low light as these 8x56 binoculars with their enormous 7mm exit pupil.
The rugged rubber exterior coating adds to the protection of the binoculars but also the grip, so they're comfortable and easy to hold. The Trophy Xtreme binoculars are also IP7 Waterproof, meaning that rain showers aren't a problem.
Engage binoculars deals
Our favorites: Engage 10X50
Price: $374.99 | Objective: 50mm | Magnification: 10x | Field of view: 6.45° | Length: 6.5in/ 165mm | Weight: 29.2oz/ 828g.
A great all-round pair with the large objectives stargazers look for, Bushnell's Engage binoculars feature a phase-coated roof prism design with fully multicoated optics, some extra-low dispersion glass, and water, oil and fog-repellent coatings on the outer lenses to prevent any build-up that might spoil the view.
A magnesium body with a rugged rubber coating sheds some weight, but glass will always be heavy, and at just under a kilogram night-time users might want to take advantage of the tripod-mounting socket for extra support.
You get great value for money with these binoculars as some of the features and specs that are included are some that you would expect on far more expensive models. On top of that, you can also get these in 8x42, 10x42 and 12x50.
PowerView 2 binoculars deals
Our favorites: PowerView 2 10x50
Price: $59.99 | Objective: 50mm | Magnification: 10x | Length: 6.7in/ 170mm | Weight: 27.8oz/ 790g.
Available as 10x50, 10x25, 10x42, 12x50, 16x32 and a mighty 20x50, the PowerView 2 range is the low-budget option from Bushnell. Yes, the magnification and apertures on these models are fairly impressive, but you won't find any of Bushnell's specialties like extra-low dispersion glass, phase-coated prisms or waterproofing features.
If you're in the market for a pair of budget binoculars that will still do the job, this could be the pair for you. Normally priced around the $60/$70 mark, they're great for carrying around on the go and if you're trying to get a budding stargazer into astronomy, these could be ideal.
At least they're not too heavy, so you shouldn't need to buy a tripod with these. They'd make a good gift for a young stargazer, who's just becoming interested in the night sky. If this is the case, you may also want to take a look at our round-up of the best binoculars for kids and best telescopes for kids, which contain plenty of further suggestions.
Legacy WP binoculars deals
Our favorites: Legacy WP 10X50
Price: $104.99 | Objective: 50mm | Magnification: 10x | Field of view: 6.5° | Length: not given | Weight: 30.5lbs/865g.
Absolutely excellent for the price, you get waterproof construction and multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings for a bright and high-contrast view of the Moon or Orion's belt.
The Legacy range of binoculars comprises just two pairs, the plain old 10x50s and a very interesting, and unusual, pair of zoom binoculars, which retain 10x50 as their starting point but zoom in to 22x50. This latter focal ratio may be too dim for serious astro use, and certainly won't be the easiest to hold steady (luckily there's a tripod mount) but makes them superbly versatile as a general-purpose pair, wildlife spotting during the day and stargazing at night.
Otherwise, the Legacy binoculars are built to Bushnell's usual high standards, with a porro prism design and Bak-4 glass. There's decent eye relief, too, at 18mm, which will attract spectacle-wearers.
H20 binoculars deals
Our favorites: H20 7X50
Price: $99.99 | Objective: 50mm | Magnification: 7x | Field of view: 5.9° | Length: 6.6 in/ 167mm | Weight: 37.5oz/ 1063g.
These could be ideal if you're a stargazer looking for something with a wider field of view. The 50mm objectives are superb for gathering light, helping in lower light conditions and looking at the night sky.
Made from aluminum and an unusual blue color, these porro-prism binoculars are from the less-premium end of Bushnell's range, so despite being waterproof, they boast Bak-4 prisms and not much else.
That's not to say they’re not impeccably well made, as is the Bushnell's way. The optics are nitrogen-purged to prevent fogging, and glasses-wearers will be pleased to note the absolutely enormous 27mm of eye relief. What you don't get are fancy lens coatings or ED glass, which is a shame but understandable, given the price point.
