I wanted high power binoculars with an attachment for a tripod for casual astronomy. This item has offered good quality optics as well as the mounting, and a perfectly adequate case was included. I will also use them for the usual terrestrial pursuits.

I bought an Olympus DPS I 8-16x40 zoom binoculars for 5.5K, while I was impressed by them of course with that aperture size it certainly isn't the best for astronomy but for terrestrial views it is good and the variable zoom is a useful feature as long as you don't mind losing light while zooming...

Close Focus; Quality Lenses; Works Well With Glasses

One of the great binocular. It has great picture clarity. Light weight. Easy to use and good magnifying range.

Awesome binocular for both terrestrial and celestial viewing!

The highest practical power with a wide angle field of view.

These are good, but not great binoculars. The clarity and fine detail seem better to me in the 20 X 80 version of this binocular. That being said, they are pretty good. Don't expect to see DSO's and faint nebulae through these, but for the large majority fairly large and bright objects in the night...

Love these Binoculars..Yes they are a bit large,but that's to be expected considering the objective lens size. Great for star gazing and plane watching.

Easy to Use; Excellent in Low Light

My husband uses these a lot, he loves them.

The field of view is so small it is dificult to locate the targeted object you are looking for, especially at 200 yds. A black object sometimes appears as red.? I ended up sending them back.

I bought these six months ago to watch the space station pass overhead. My old pair of 10x50's had finally given up the ghost and these were only a little more expensive than what I had been looking at. Wow...I had no idea what I had been missing.
