Nothing wider than Orion 2x54 binoculars designed for constellation viewing. See https://www.bintel.com.au/product/or...le-binoculars/

36 deg. true field of view!

There is also SvBony 2.1x42 giving 26 deg. true field of view. I have both and prefer the Orion for the wider field.

The optical design differs from 'standard' binoculars and there is no need to be concerned about exit pupil restrictions. The binoculars simply make things brighter at slightly greater magnification. It is almost like looking at a Tirion Sky Atlas 2000.0. Pleiades show many more than 7 stars! Read the blurb on Bintel web site under the 'add to cart' button.

There was a discussion about these on this forum recently.
