CelestronCometron 7x50 Astronomy Binoculars – Entry-Level for Stargazing and Comet Watching – Large 50mm Objective Lenses – Wide 6.6° Field of View – Multi-Coated Optics

I bought these to supplement my stargazing. I am new to the hobby and have been using a bigger brother of these little guys (the 15x70), but while having to order another pair of the giants due to an accident, I decided to toss in a pair of these as well. They are so CHEAP! And so highly rated! I figured for the price it would be hard to go wrong. And this was the case - things went extremely right.I went to an event our local astronomy club gave for a scout group and set up my 15x70 on its tripod, and hung these around my neck. A little more background: we are in Florida, and the event happened in mid-June, and it had stormed all afternoon and was still dripping when we arrived at the site. The skies partially cleared as we waited, but the humidity could have filled up a filter jug. About 1/4 of the way into our various demonstrations, my large binoculars got fogged up on their tripod. The sides of the big binos - which are not coated with rubber - were literally dripping with dew by the end of the demonstration. The lenses fogged up completely, rendered useless by Florida's humidity. I could see more with my naked eye. So much for my brand-new pair of 15x70 giant binocs.It was a much happier story for our little troopers here. They have rubber on almost all of the exposed parts, and I don't know if that was the reason, but never ONCE did I notice fogging on the lenses, nor any dew on the binos. Thus it was that I was able to impress the scouts with how a light, inexpensive pair of binoculars can help open up the sky. I've heard stories of collimation problems, but I'm happy to say my pair was aligned perfectly and performed wonderfully, and one excited scout is almost certain to get a pair of them for Christmas this year as a result of the event...Of course, these would in theory be outstripped in functionality by much more expensive and/or larger binoculars. They don't image-stabilize, they aren't waterproof, and they are probably more subject to quality-control issues than if you bought something for $300 or more. But... price. You could buy TEN of these for the price of the really good binocs, and have spares for parties.They won't open up the sky like the larger binoculars or a telescope, but... they still bring out details the naked eye cannot see, and are the first thing I'd grab if I only had limited stargazing availability because they are zero-to-viewing in just a few seconds. And apparently they are somewhat resistant to the effects of extreme humidity, which is a massive plus here in the semi-tropics. Also, as a bonus, their smaller size makes them useful for daytime viewing as well (nature hikes, concerts, etc), something that I cannot say about the heavy, bulky 15x70s. These will start accompanying me on my park walks, and I've already used them to observe deer in my yard.I therefore highly recommend these not only as starter binocs for newbies to the night sky world, but as a permanent supplement for those who have a larger telescope. And they'd be great for daytime users as well. Their portability, usable quality, ease-of-use, and humidity resistance really makes them stand out when you consider how little they cost. And as I found out last night, they are just light enough that many children can manage them for several minutes at a time (though if the kid is small enough you might want to invest in a light-weight tripod - something that costs less than $30 should be fine for this particular pair). Yes, the really expensive brands are no doubt better, but at less than $30USD per pair, it's easy to justify starting out with these or just adding a pair to one's scope collection.

My daughter loved it , it was a great binoculars , nice quality, great imaging & well packaged with a nice little case to put it in

So I picked up a set of used binoculars for 15 but they are heavier and do not have way to connect to a tripod like these do. They are not perfect but for the price they are great. I was able to to view Orion Nebula , Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn very easily. I was able to view lose clusters of stars and even look at Mozar the double star. I going to check the sky masters 25 x70 and 20 x80 to see what I really like out of the collection. I’m gonna keep 7 x50 as a lower power wide angle option to the higher powered options.

I bought these for both terrestrial and sky use. I would say that the quality is pretty good overall and great for the price. Optics is something that has a very steep price to quality curve and these seems to be good enough for the amateur (no noticeable chromatic aberration that causes small bright white objects to smear into a rainbow of colors as in poor quality binoculars).In reading the reviews, I noticed some people are unfamiliar with using binoculars. Binoculars are hinged in the middle to allow you to adjust the span between the two lenses to merge the two images into one image. At night look at the moon or a distant street lamp which is a single object (as opposed to a star field) and adjust the hinge as you look to merge the images to create one distinct image. Each person will have a slightly different adjustment for this. Then once you have set this you can look at the stars. The other adjustment is to close your right eye and focus on some distant object using the main focus adjustment in the center. Then open your right eye and adjust the individual diopter adjustment to focus the right eye's image. Each person will have a different setting for this that depends on their eyes. Also note that hand held binoculars are not a replacement for a telescope on a tripod. It is impossible to hold the binoculars by hand steady enough to prevent shaking of the image even at relatively low magnifications, though if you can rest your elbows on something firm that helps. On the other hand, binoculars like these are far easier to carry with you than a telescope.The good:The optical quality is pretty good and I would say very good for the price point.They are reasonably light while still giving a good image.Great for looking at the moon and terrestrial use.Could use improvement:If as the result of lasik or cataract surgery you have "mono vision" where one eye is focused on distance and one eye is focused for reading and close-up, the range of the individual eye diopter adjustment on the binoculars is right up against the limit the diopter adjustment on the binoculars will go. It would be better if there were more range of the binocular diopter adjustment.
