 Written on May 9, 2008 Summary: Celestron Giant Binoculars The only thing I'd like see improved is to make it easier to focus. I have another pair of less powerful ones that have a lever you push up and down on to focus. On the Giant ones you have to rotate a wheel.  Written on May 3, 2008 Summary: Every amateur astronomer should start right here I won't babble on about optics, b/c I don't know much about them, but in good seeing conditions you can distinguish some great star clusters through these (my first Messier objects), Jupiter's disk and moons (very small, but it's unmistakably a planetary disk and several tiny moons), and though you can tell Saturn's shape, it's not a great view. Because you get such a view through these, images do wobble massively, so it's hard to make out the finer details, as when viewing small objects or trying to see lunar craters (which are gorgeous through these). Training your hands to be more still will go a long way though, and I have so far not attempted to use a tripod. Maybe I'll post another review when I do. All in all, I highly recommend these for someone just starting out viewing solar system and deep sky objects. Written on April 28, 2008 Summary: Celestron SkyMaster The binoculars are fantastic. The site is clear and distance is good. The weight can be an issue if you do not have a steady hand or holding it for a long streatch of time. I would recomend the SkyMaster. Written on April 28, 2008 Summary: Top of the line binoculars Great magnification and large field of view. Very lightweight and the tripod adapter is a real plus for this fine optical gear. Written on April 23, 2008 Summary: Great product for the price! I recently purchased these binoculars and agree with a previous review about the lack of protective packing it was shipped with. That being said they came out of the box collimated just fine. For this price you can afford to replace the vinyl carrying pouch included with a hard case if you want better protections as they will not get any proction from what they give you. I bought these so I could share the night sky with my children more easily and they do not sit well with the time it takes to get out the Meade 10' scope. On the first night we took it out the ISS came overhead shortly afterwards and we were able to track it with the binoculars relativley well, but I would not suggest you try to do this for long with out a good video/camera tripod for more stationary objects, unless you are going to lie on the ground looking up. The field of view is good for groupings of stars and I was able to just fit all of the three main stars of Orion's belt into view using the included tripod mount of course. This will be a staple for my night viewing form here on out. |
