I was always worried about losing my binoculars while bow hunting. They were always swinging. Once I hooked up my binoculars to these straps they are stable and I never have to worry about them falling again.

These were recommended by a member of my local astronomy club. I purchase these binoculars after a chance of using them on stargazing night. The view is crisp and clear. I would highly recommend a tripod if you are doing any extended stargazing it is a bit on the heavy side when it comes to the weight of these binoculars, other than that I love this binoculars!

These are not a toy. These are real binoculars. These are GOOD binoculars. The optics are good. The view is clear and sharp. The pair I got was perfectly aligned. Above all, they are 7x50 "night glasses" that are just right for looking at dim objects in the night sky, like the Milky Way, the Pleiades, the Andromeda Nebula, the Great Nebula in Orion, and so forth. They are far better on these objects than my old 9x36 Bushnells. At 7X power they are also, of course, good for "binocular astronomy" in general. There haven't been any bright comets since I bought these, but they should be good for comets as their name suggests.The world of binoculars has been overtaken by compact binoculars which are great for birdwatching but don't have the light-gathering ability for backyard astronomy. 7x50's do. I would strongly recommend these for older children who are ready for backyard astronomy, either instead of or in addition to a full-sized telescope.An unexpected benefit for me is that these have huge eye relief, and are the first binoculars I've had that I can use with my eyeglasses on.What are the downsides? Two: they're big and heavy. And I think the field of view is narrower than on more expensive binoculars.

Got it for my mom she needed it for people breaking into her house

Just got it today and it is perfect, I’m an adult that has a small face and these binoculars are just the right size, they where easy to adjust, they are compact and don’t take up a lot of space in my luggage, they are just as they advised, yes I will get another pair for my daughter, the price was great too.

Love it! First time I use binoculars that won't give me double image/visual. I have tried several binoculars in the past and no matter how I adjust them, I always see two of image in front of me. I thought maybe my eyes are not aligned but with this binoculars I am able to see the image as it is supposed to, not like I am crossing my eyes.

This is a brilliant pair of binoculars and I would highly recommend to anyone to purchase. I used this binoculars for the whole month of April 2015 to watch the International Space Station (ISS) passing over overhead nearly every night and got a great view of it. There is a mount that comes with it for use with a camera stand and I made use of this also and got brilliant close ups of the moon and other planets like Venus, Mars and Saturn or Jupiter I think. While using the mount on the camera stand I also spotted objects flying overhead that were not planes, I am assuming they were satellites or maybe spy planes? But that was exciting as well.The one negative I have is that if you are going to use these binoculars as a telescope like I have been using by mounting it on a camera stand then it's quiet hard to get the focusing correct as when you try and look through the view finder the slightest touch of it will cause the binoculars to shake and you have to step back and let it settle down before trying again. However it's a pair of binoculars and not a telescope so if you are going to use it as one then you just have to live with this.Overall I am delighted with these binoculars and I will be using it for a long long time!

A great value. These binoculars were great for terrestrial viewing as well as astronomical. The view was very clear, edge to edge. My only gripe is the individual eyepiece focus. With several people looking through these during the day, the focusing got to be a painBe very sure to have a stout tripod for these as they weigh a good 10 lbs.These also carry Celestron's no fault warranty which is a great feature of these binoculars.
