Vortex Optics Raptor binoculars

Our favorites: Raptor 10x32

Price: $129, Objective: 32mm, Magnification: 10x, Field of view: 6.3°, Length: 114mm, Weight: 500g. 

A Porro prism design with an angle of view of 6.3°, this is the largest pair Vortex makes in the Raptor range. The 32mm objective could be larger for stargazing, to let in more light, but this pair would make an excellent multipurpose set of binoculars. 

With an interpupillary distance that swings from 50-70mm (2-2.8 inches) these are suitable for all the family, even those who may have had trouble resolving an image with other pairs, and the multicoated optics enhance resolution and contrast, while rubber O-rings keep out the water and dust. A diopter adjuster on the right eyepiece allows you to make small changes to account for differences between your eyes, and the center-mounted focus adjuster is smooth and easily found with the fingertips.

If it's value for money you're after then you might not need to look any further. The asking price is normally around $130 and the optics are of good quality. You also get a good level of magnification and a good sized focal length, so the views you get are of high quality - these could actually be the only pair you'll need to buy. There's an 8.5x32 pair available too. 

Vortex Optics Crossfire binoculars

Our favorites: Crossfire HD 10x50

Price: $219 Objective: 50mm, Magnification: 10x, Field of view: 6.1°, Length: 170mm, Weight: 863g. 

These binoculars come with a flat prism design, but a good quality one. They're also longer and heavier than the Raptor model above but in terms of astronomy, larger 50mm lenses mean they gather more light so you're able to see your targets more easily. 

Smaller or younger users of these binoculars may struggle due to the minimum interpupillary distance of 60mm and the added weight means a tripod or adapter could be required for longer skywatching sessions. 

The optics are fully multicoated and the body rubber-sealed against water and dirt. Nitrogen purging of the elements means they’re less likely to fog up in colder weather, and a rainguard is also included. Also available are 8x42, 10x42, and 12x50 pairs.

These binoculars also feature in our best binoculars guide.

Vortex Optics Kaibab HD binoculars

Our favorites: Kaibab HD 18x56

Price: $1,299.99, Objective: 56mm, Magnification: 18x, Field of view: 3.7°, Length: 195mm, Weight: 1,233g.

A large, heavy pair of binoculars designed for use with a tripod (and bundled with an adapter) may be intended for picking out shy deer from a hillside a mile away, but those larger than normal objective lenses give them just the light-gathering power you want for night-sky use.

This is balanced out by the high magnification, which can lead to dimmer images, but the Kaibabs’ excellent coated optics - fully multicoated, with dielectric mirror coatings on the prism surfaces - plus the use of an extra-low dispersion glass element - means you’re not losing too much light to the inner workings of the binoculars, and it’s being focused sharply to avoid color fringing.

These binoculars come in at the top end of most budgets so if you can afford them and you're alright with carrying them as well as a tripod around, then these will provide you with the night sky views you're chasing. They're great for specific lunar features and areas like Orion's belt but are slightly less useful for wider fields of view. 

Vortex Optics Viper HD binoculars

Our favorites: Viper HD 10x50 

Price: $729.99, Objective: 50mm, Magnification: 10x, Field of view: 6.6°, Length: 165mm, Weight: 805g.

Light and compact, the Viper HD binoculars are perfect for carrying with you all day, transitioning from day-time wildlife watching to night-time star spotting.

From the tough rubber coating to the broad and easy to reach focus adjuster, it’s clear these are the kind of class act we’ve come to expect from Vortex. The Viper HD binoculars contain the company’s HD optics, which are multicoated for better light transmission and extra-low dispersion to correct for colored fringing - something especially important in the high-contrast views you get of the Moon, for example. The roof prism is a Bak-4 design, with phase correction coatings to really boost that contrast. Despite being lightweight, holding binoculars up to the sky for long periods can be tiring, so there's a tripod mount provided, though you’ll need to buy an adapter separately.

Note that there may be multiple versions of the Viper binoculars on sale out there - in 2018 the range received a new optical construction with a slightly wider field of view, and switched from a nitrogen purge to an argon filling to prevent fogging. Also available are 12x50, 10x42, and 8x42 pairs.
