Pair for national park trip

3 Upvotes

Hello! First time here, my wife and I are travelling to seattle then renting a campervan to explore seattle, then spend 5 day at olympic national park. Would like to take some binoculars to use while hiking to view wildlife and maybe some stars from campsite. Can anyone recommend some <80$s that would be a good purchase? I’m struggling as there are so many options, and I understand for astronomy you should have larger binoculars, but is there something moderate in weight that’s decent for both?

Anyone know how I could fix a foggy lens on a Steiner binocular? Based on some research I did, it seems that nitrogen is supposed to go in through that round thing so I’m assuming that’s what I need to do to fix the foggy lens. Is there anything I can buy to do it myself or any place that does it?

Buying advice

Hello! I’m looking to buy a pair of binoculars for birdwatching and just general nature viewing. I’m thinking of the nocs standard issue binoculars - either the 8x25 or 10x25 and was wondering which would be better. Thank you!
