As a photographer of many years, I am always conscious of framing when looking at a subject and I guess this follows through when looking at objects with my
astronomy binoculars. Obviously, wide open
star clusters, such as the Hyades and Melotte 111 (Coma Berenices), look better in my
Nikon 7x50, but smaller clusters like the Pleiades are more appealing in my 10x70 binocular. The trick is to get the entire cluster framed within the field of view, but not have too much background space around them if you want the best "Wow!" factor. For globular clusters, then, I much prefer the view in 20x80 binoculars or even the big guys, the 25x100 jumbo
binoculars. All of this, of course, give me an excuse to keep shopping for more binoculars. Ha!
