Great value. The bang for your buck is definitely there. The optics are very good for the price point. I have used for viewing the moon, but mostly use for long range land viewing. They are somewhat usable without a tripod, but highly recommend a tripod. They are a bit heavy for general use, and you will find your hands/arms shaking making it hard to view at such lengths.

Amazing binoculars, I was able to see the full moon really clearly even though I live in the city. I am going to go somewhere in the country side and look at the stars. I used it at a cricket match and the players came right out in front. Amazing clarity because of huge light intake. Love it

This product works great for nighttime vision. You can even save pictures or take videos of what you see.

I bought this mini monocular for my wife for Christmas and she loves it.I bought her a bigger mini scope two years ago, but it wasn't so portable.She loves this smaller size because it is so portable, and can fit easily in her purse or coat pocket.We both use the monocular for outdoor use - hiking (Niagara Falls gorge, Letchworth State Park, etc.), and animal watching.We have lots of different animals in our residential area. Great for bird watching also.The mini monocular is just less cumbersome than binoculars.The quality is great, and the price was very fair for the quality.

First of all the price is what attracted me. Was looking for a powerful pair of Binoculars that didn't cost a fortune. Celestron is a name I know and these were the far reaching view I was looking for. Well constructed, large lens, not to bulky but will tire you out for holding them for any length of time. The Tripod adapter is a great idea to setup for those in between times. They are comfortable, affordable and a great value.

My three little nephews were going on a family vacation to Colorado. They live in Texas. They had a blast looking for wildlife, looking at the mountains up close. I wanted them to put down their iPad games and gaming devices and take in nature! They loved the binoculars! Great gift!

I've used these binoculars for about 6 months now for night sky viewing. I will say that my first pair came to me SIGNIFICANTLY out of alignment but the return process was very easy and I had my new pair before I even had time to ship the old one back - thank you Amazon.Now to the review: they are far and away the best binoculars I've ever used for stellar and planetary viewing. Over the winter (in Wisconsin, so roughly zero degrees at night) in a fairly light polluted area I was able to watch and track Jupiter and its moons over a 3 week period, was able to view Mars and my favorite Saturn. I was able to discern a general shape of the rings, that is to say, you can see that the planet isn't spherical to your view and some nights you could see the shape of the rings pretty clearly but it really did depend on the day. Anyone looking to be able to see individualized rings and/or Jupiter's storm stripes should stick to Google Images.It's amazing how many stars just "appear" when you point them at the sky, nothing to the naked eye but the light gathering power of these is impressive for the package. For the money, I think these were a great buy and I will certainly be using them for many years. My 3 year old enjoys checking out early moon rises, poor guy has bed time before the stars are out, and the eye pieces get pretty close to set for him to get some pretty quality views, based on his descriptions of the "white dot at the bottom" I'm assuming he is at least making out Tycho.They were a little too heavy for me to be happy holding them by hand but with a decent tripod that issue is pretty much non-existent for me anymore. Long story short, I would buy these again. You may start with a bad pair but stick with it, for the price, the value is great.

Great optic,like it better than binoculars,great clarity,even works in low light such as only a few street lights still see great detail,i use at work at night. I'm a security officer to check parking lots,also will use it deer and turky hunting, very pleased with it so far,only needs a way to hook a lanyard to it
