As said previously, planetary viewing with binoculars is limited by low magnification. Now if what you want is say multiple planets in the same field during...
I Had the 20 X 80's as well and turned them in for the 100's. However the only reason I did that is so I can put filters on the 100's. I've done very little...

Hi Wes, I prefer the 28 magnification as the 20X isn't enough to view the occasional planet and most DSOs are small. Plus the higher magnification darkens the...
