Spring, nature and optics in the spotlight

This week we have welcomed the astronomical spring, and we have done it under spectacular weather conditions. So you may read this news while you enjoy a break on an excursion, or if you are preparing to leave tomorrow.

If you like to be attentive to all your surroundings and enjoy nature, surely binoculars are part of your luggage, it may also be that you are looking for that ideal binocular for your outings, then we are waiting for you here in Raig to offer you advice and the best brands.

For birdwatchers and wildlife fans, there is also a perfect time for observation. The marshes, the forests and the different natural spaces are full of life, so if you are demanding observers we can also offer you those products of higher quality and more specialized.

For the general public, the most advisable option for observing nature is binoculars.

For long trips or excursions we recommend light and compact models, basically between 25 and 32mm opening. On the other hand, if we want a slower and more detailed observation, then we will opt for models around 42mm opening, with the 8x42mm model being the ideal one for bird and animal observation.

Another option for fixed observation, for example in the waiting areas of natural parks, are compact ground telescopes, those with an aperture of between 50 and 65mm and a range between 15 and 50X. These telescopes are very portable, and can be mounted very quickly on a small tripod. It will be the best option if we want to sit down, relax and contemplate nature for a long time.

At Raig we take maximum care of professionals, and we know their demands. It is for this reason that we continually expand our catalog of the best brands of binoculars, monoculars, ground-based telescopes and rangefinders.

Knowing how to give advice in high-end equipment is key to acquiring the perfect equipment, comparable to being in the right place and at the right time to see or photograph that highly sought-after species. High definition or HD models are the cornerstone for this type of observation.

In this case, we are facing teams wanted for slow observation, sometimes even for hours in the same place. In binoculars we are going to use apertures of 42mm and 50mm, while in terrestrial telescopes we will use equipment of 80 to 90mm aperture and with zoom lenses between 20 and 75x magnification. We must also remember all the equipment necessary for digiscopping, with adapters for both reflex cameras and smartphones.

With a few more pleasant and pleasant nights for night observation, an astronomical binocular is a perfect equipment to go out to the garden, terrace, meadow, etc. to contemplate the night sky.

It is a magnificent orientation tool and with it we will be able to observe the moon in detail, appreciate the planets and better locate ourselves in a constellation. That if we choose a day with low visibility and we help ourselves with a good tripod for observation, so we can enjoy comfortable and quality observation at all times.
