We live on a working farm, and our house is situated on a hill with a
view of the surrounding farm. We want something like a telescope to be
able to better monitor the goings-on. I don't know that "telescope" is
the right word for what we want.
We want to be able to *clearly* see things from about 600 feet up to a
mile away both during the day and at night.
We have binoculars, and even a night-vision goggle, but they just
don't give us the detail and clarity we want. Also, we're looking for
something that mounts on a stand - we want to set it up on our
(inside) verandah so that we can walk over and peep through any time.
I can't yet give you a price range, because I honestly have no clue
what they cost. It needs to come from a company that ships from the
United States, and that does Internet business, as I can't drop into
an American store :-) |

Zhumell 20x80 SuperGiant Astronomical Binocular
High power, low weight!
The Zhumell 20x80 SuperGiants, though, weigh in at just 4.4 pounds,
light enough to use comfortably in the field. Still, they are equipped
with an integrated tripod mount for use with any standard photographic
tripod. That's just in case you don't feel like holding onto your
binoculars all the time.
Field of View
189 ft. at 1,000 yds.

This subject is really out of my area of expertise. I suggest you open
this question to other researchers.
Thanks for thinking of me.

Bobbie - I understand that this isn't your area. I just hate to cheat
you out of a fee. :-(
I will change the subject line of the question if that's possible.
My husband says, "I want to be able to count the freckles on a man's
face at the end of the property."
I looked at the specs of the scopes in the links you sent, but I don't
really understand "field of view" "objective" "prism type" "pupil
relief" etc.

Jenny,
Please don't worry about it. No problem. :-)
If you can't change the subject line just cancel this question and
post a new one without my name.
I'm sure another researcher will be able to help you.
Best wishes,
Bobbie7
