A smog‑free sky had me reaching for these binoculars

I knew city light pollution clouded the stars, but when I went camping in the country for the first time, seeing the Milky Way nearly knocked me over. I’d been hearing about the real night sky since I was a kid, but seeing it was something else.

I wanted to stare for hours, take in the sweeping collections of stars, pick out the Dippers, and while the neck strain got to me late in the night, my eyes were comfortable, and the stars were in focus with the Double Barrel 720p Digital Night-Vision Binoculars. The best part is that they’re on sale for $119.99 (regular price $297.99).

These binoculars can do it all: snap photos, record video, and play it back. With the included 32 GB TF card, you can keep everything you capture. I loved how the infrared LEDs let me see in total darkness or dimly lit spots, and the TFT widescreen display made it super easy to dial in focus and tweak the lighting.

When I got home, seeing the videos on my computer screen—and my friends and family don’t know this—made me tear up. They looked like stock pictures that I hadn’t really comprehended were based on the sky I sleep under every night.

Murky city air’s got nothing on those wide-open rural skies; I’m going camping every summer. With the 4x zoom, I’m not missing anything ever again. Living in the city is great, but now that I know what else is out there, I’m kind of obsessed.

If you want to change how you see the sky and the world around you, it’s time for night-vision binoculars.

Get the Double Barrel 720p Digital Night-Vision Binoculars for $119.99 (reg. $297.99).
