Seeing the country-side in Norway during winter months.

Those will certainly work, especially the 8x42.

[b]In my prior post, I mentioned two sets of [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/binoculars.html]binoculars[/url] that I already have but forgot to ask if they would work for my trip.[/b]

[b]I already have the following [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/canon-binoculars.html]binoculars:
Canon[/url] IS 10x30 (Was great for a photo safari in Tanzania)

Orion Savannah (Waterproof) 8x42.[/b]

For low light conditions, you will want a larger diameter objective and keep the magnification reasonable. A high quality 8x42 or 8x50 should do the trick nicely. We do have some 8.5x56 [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/binoculars.html]binoculars[/url] that are great, but are large and heavy. You would not want to hold these up to your eyes for a long period of time. These are best on a [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/tripods.html]tripod[/url].

For a reasonable price, go with the [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/nikon-monarchatb8x40.html]Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42[/url].

For a fantastic [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/binoculars.html]binocular[/url] that will have the brightest image with suberb quality, I really like the [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/swarovski-85x42-el.html]Swarovski EL 8.5x42[/url].

the best money can buy for all gen 1 is digital [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/nightvision.html]night vision[/url] like [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/bushnell.html]bushnell[/url] stealthview or [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/yukon-brand.html]yukon[/url] night ranger.
none gen 1+ will beat this digital NV even with [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/itt-brand.html]ITT[/url] tube.
you won't believe what you might see.
awesome.
but you need to large spare [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/batteries.html]battery[/url] since they are consume too much power or using 12V dry [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/batteries.html]battery[/url] as a power source.
the best place to find this kind of NV is optics planet.com
you will never never disappointed.
you can using it during day time or in the total darkness.

[b]Thanks, Ryan. I thought that might be the answer but I was hoping that there would be something available. I am looking for something that would allow me to see terrain, etc at much greater distances.

Are there any daytime [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/binoculars.html]binoculars[/url] that do well in low light situations?[/b]

Hi,

[url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/nightvision.html]Night vision[/url] was not designed to see far. It is designed to see in the dark. If you are within 100 yards of your intended viewing [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/targets.html]target[/url], a gen 1 unit will work. If you are trying to see out to about 150-175 yards under a moonlit sky, you will need to go up to generation 3 [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/nightvision.html]night vision[/url] for clear resonlution and light sensitivity.

For a gen 1, you can use something like the [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/night-owl-explorer-3x-binocular-noxb3.html]Night Owl Explorer[/url] with 3x magnification. For a gen 3 [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/nightvision.html]night vision[/url], you can use the [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/d-321.html]US Night Vision USNV-321G Gen 3 night vision goggle[/url]

[b]This December I am going on a cruise of the entire Norwegian coast line with the hope of seeing the Northern Lights. Since the sun never comes up during their long "nights", I would like to know if there is some kind of [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/binoculars.html]binocular[/url] that would allow me to see as much of the terrain as possible as we cruise into fjords and past villages, mountains, etc. [/b]
