She said they rated very close to the types of viewing equipment they used in her college class. I purchased the Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars for my 21 year old daughter who recently took an astronomy class. She is thoroughly pleased with the product and regularly goes out and views the stars.
They practically suck in the light in the direction you're looking and the image resolution is phenomenal. The value for the money was awesome, Amazon had them for $50 whereas the usual places I shop for astronomy gear wanted $75-100. Celestron is well known as one of the top makers of astronomical telescopes and they didn't stop there. I had thought about purchasing some Nikon binoculars, but opted for these as I wanted to use them for astronomical purposes. They come with a tripod adapter in case you want to set it up on a tripod.Bottom Line: Great binoculars for the value, great resolving power and terrific light-gathering ability. These astronomical binoculars are terrific at pulling in light from distant sources. Some people might complain that they are unreasonably heavy, but they really aren't that bad for their capabilities.
Focus is clear and image is bright. I pick it up when I'm looking deeper in the backyard and it's great. I added this high powered set of binoculars to a growing toolbox of binoculars for bird and star gazing. I've used it for birds more than stars at this point.
The craters of moon are very clearly visible and so are the stars. Jokes aside these are very easy to use, very clear sharp image even for objects at like 2 miles away. I have turned avid fan of these binoculars.In short way more worth than any penny you spend on these binos. No 1 Fedex Sucks as they dropped this order of mine outside my front door without ANY INFORMATION.Any way these binos are just great. I live in a University campus and bought these to check out the chicks :).
The binoculars are especially nice if you are new to astronomy, because they will easily introduce you to the best that the night sky offers. The binoculars themselves are great for astronomy, and are available at an extremely good price. They have allowed me to look at so many objects in the night sky.
