They are also great for terrestrial viewing. Contrast and definition are excellent. Best optical value I've ever seen.

I purchased the binoculars to help find night sky objects in a suburban area of Portland, OR. Overall, I am pleased with the quality of the binoculars specifically the optical clarity and light gathering ability as compared to my Nikon Monarch 10x42 binoculars.

used it for nature and animal sight seeing, as well as stars and planets gazing. Very impressed with this product able to see what you looking for and it is a good starter interstellar binocular.

Close Focus; Compact; Lightweight; Quality Lenses; Reasonable price; Strong Construction; Works Well With Glasses

Not Waterproof

Best deal for the price of any astronomy binoc to me anyway. Once I put a wide strap on them, they became my favorites. I did not know the center star in the pleides was vivid yellow. Of course if the star is not really yellow, then these are horrible binocs.

well built; excellent images throughout range; large aperture

strap is useless unless you enjoy discomfort

I use this for planetary viewing and star grazing with a specialized binocular mount. Venus' crescent popped right out as did Jupiter's moons...and I look forward to many a night of viewing the planets and some deep-sky objects.

Strong construction, good optics, very good durable item. These binos hit the sweet spot and can be hand-held or tripod mounted. Theses binos make for a very good portable viewing instrument. Well worth the price I paid.

Haven't had much time with it at the moment but the very little time I spent after setting up the device I enjoyed every moment. Am not a pro on this issue but it excellent quality. A lot more can be said but no time to give further comment. I will recommend this to anyone that's all for now.

My only problem, and not a criticsm of the binoculars themselves, is getting a stable image. I build a small bracket that slots between the mount and the tripod and is fixed to one lense tube with velcro. Perfectly stable. I am staggered at the clarity and number of objects I can see.

light; easy to carry; price; portability

If you use it with a Tripod it is a Great Binocular. Without a Tripod you can use for 15-20 minutes, after that your arms will hurt. The Tripod adapter provided needs to be filled with Araldite, as it is made of plastic and cannot bear the weight of the Binocular.

Bought it for astronomical purpose. Our telescope, which is lot more powerful has very small field of view and is cumbersome to use. It is hard for me to keep my 9 years old engaged. However, she does enjoy seeing things like saturn rings. This binoculars are lot more fun.
