Review: Better to by 15x70 than 20x50 if you thinking too. Good for astronomy - One of the best buy , even moon surface can be seen crystal clear . And best for night time also . Overall this is the best binoculars i ever had
Review: Great for astronomy beginners - This binocular is built sturdy and the optics are fantastic. Easy to focus. This is very good for astronomical viewing for beginners as it doesn't need any complex setup like for a telescope. A few night sky objects that I have been able to view with this: 1. Moon, obviously, but this can show the craters on it. 2. Jupiter and it's moons. You won't see details on the planet, though. That needs more magnification. 3. Planets like Mars, Saturn 4. Star clusters like Pleiades are stellar. 5. Faint glow of the Orion nebula. 6. I could even view a satellite once as it passed. I could even view the solar panels on it.! If you have clear, dark skies, you can view a ton of objects with this. A few difficulties you may face with this: 1. Slight chromatic aberration visible with bright objects like the moon. 2. With the magnification, this can double up as a bird watcher. But can be heavy for that use case. 3. Due to high magnification, it's difficult to get a steady view, although with practice one can get better at it.. A tripod would go a long way. Overall, a great buy and has got me hooked to astronomical viewing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I wondering why so many people have said these work better than their telescopes? If these are 15x and a cheap tele is 100x why are these so great?**
A: The principal feature of a telescope is not magnification, but light gathering power. These 70mm binoculars gather about as much light as a 100mm telescope. But since you are using both eyes, the view will appear better. But even in my case, with a 13" diameter mirror in my scope, before I look for anything my binoculars are out checking out the field of view and much of the time even showing me what my telescope will be looking at. Binoculars force you to learn the sky and not be dependent on any coordinate system. They show you larger objects like the double cluster in Perseus, the Pleiades and Hyades star clusters in Taurus, the Beehive cluster in Cancer and even the Andromeda Galaxy better than you can in a telescope because you simply get to see the object in context. There are some large, face-on galaxies like M-33 and M-101, which are easier to spot in these binoculars than they are in a 10" telescope. Without the context of the black sky behind the object there is no contrast and you can't see it.Even with a large telescope, you'll spend most of your time observing at under 100 power. Selling telescopes by magnification is just taking advantage of newbies because you can obtain any magnification with any telescope depending on what eyepiece you use. The question is "will you be able to see anything?"

**Q: can one side be adjusted seperately for my vision?  I have decent vision in left eye and poor vision in right eye. thanks.**
A: I dropped mine and the right side adjustable eye cap piece fell off and the more I look at it it does not even adjust it’s a fake adjuster has anyone else seen this ? The cap goes from -to+ but there is no lens turning 🤷‍♂️

**Q: why do so many people prefer these over the 20x80 and 25x70?**
A: 15x is at the upper limit of what can be hand held.  Higher powers would need a tripod to be steady enough.  Even at 15x some people would need a tripod or something to lean against.  Lower powers give wider fields of view and brighter images.  Large binoculars such as 80mm are heavy and need a tripod regardless of magnification. If you want both bright images and high powers look into larger binoculars such as 80 or 100mm.

**Q: how does the tripod adpater hook on? I got it today but im confused how that part hooks on? and then to the tripod.**
A: The adapter screws onto the hinge behind the focus knob. There's a little plastic piece about the diameter of a penny that you have to remove first. It should turn off (ccw--standard right-hand thread) fairly easily. The larger square side of the adapter attaches to your tripod. I believe it's a 1/4-20 thread--pretty standard for small camera tripods.
