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.

Big and Heavy you will need Tripod
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.

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

If I Must Complain
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.
Pros:
- well built
- excellent images throughout range
- large aperture
Cons:
- strap is useless unless you enjoy discomfort

Good balance between wt and power, very enjoyable
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.

Perfect for beginner, but will use throughout all aspects of stargazing.
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.
Pros:
- light
- easy to carry
- price
- portability

Nice binoculars for the amateur astronomer
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.

Excellent for amateurs!
My binoculars arrived last week and I couldn't wait to get out and look at the night sky with them. So many stars! They are relatively light and easy to steady given the size, I haven't used them with a tripod yet but will do so for focusing on particular objects e.g. andromeda.
