I just purchased a pair of helios stellar2 16 x 80 and the difference from the 10 x 50 pair i have is incredible. Nitrogen filled, IPX7 rated, quality multi coated optics, bak4 , extremely well made. looking at terrestrial or astronomical targets is breathtaking. Don't hesitate to get some big binoculars and choose wisely you don’t need to spend silly amounts in order to get a good pair. Im 55 so figured the 5 mm exit pupil was sufficient for my age /pupil size.

I saw the total solar eclipse in Santee S Carolina July 26, 2017. It was amazing. A few minutes before totality, the day started looking like dusk. Birds started chirping. Then it happened quick. Some stars came out (I believe they were actually planets). It was like night but not pitch black. And most amazing was the sun’s corona(it looked angry/scary; not a uniform glow near the eclipse but like streams pointed out radially from the sun stronger in some directions than others, and about the angular length of the Sun diameter). It was ominous to realize that corona was always there my whole life, just normally hidden from view. It reminded me of a subconscious awareness that always was there but normally hidden from the conscious awareness. The other surprising thing was seeing the planets. I also looked to the distant clouds on the horizon for any signs of the edge of totality but could not see it. The sunlight returned extremely bright faster than you could blink (I should have stopped looking at after a couple minutes when the total eclipse was gonna be ending soon). Even just 0.01% of the sun’s disk is dangerously too bright to look at. I can see why a total solar eclipse had a huge emotional impact on the people who experienced it

The Cambridge Double Star Atlas has great double page star charts and 2500+ multiple star system up to 7.75 magnitude primary and up to 13 magnitude secondaries. 80% of the stars can be seen with a 4" scope and I use an apochromatic 102mm/4" up to 450 magnification. My 6" reflector has custom mirrors on it with the primary 1/12th wave and a Strehl of .98 ratio , but I will use it with my AZ Pro that holds two scopes for outreach, but otherwise it gets used for AP. Just easier to use the smaller scope, but if I have a smaller target I'll use the 6" to 400x, but I need my 2x TeleVue Barlow. I often use orthoscopic eyepieces down to a Baader 6mm Ortho.
