Review: Absolutely Top Notch for Stargazing - I'd argue that this pair of binoculars is one of the best for beginner stargazing (and even viewing some bright DSOs); the views are breathtaking, the build quality is impeccable, and the overall experience in using these binoculars was positive. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to get a pair with no noticeable collimation errors or any chromatic/comatic aberration, although with any pair of binoculars, especially heavy ones like the 25x100s, one may find glaring errors pretty often, and might be forced to get a replacement. Living in a bright suburban area (Bortle 6), the Andromeda & Triangulum galaxies could be made out as faint smudges, the Pleiades, Hyades, and Praesepe clusters simply explode into view with hundreds of stars being resolved, the core of the Orion Nebula could be made out (unfortunately more fainter details couldn't be made out hand-holding the binoculars), and Jupiter's moons are easily resolved. It is therefore important to mention the necessity of using a tripod. Hand holding this 4kg beast is almost impossible, and while the views might still be great, the full potential of the binoculars could only be harnessed through the use of a heavy-duty tripod (I'd recommend the Orion Paragon Plus XHD Tripod. Celestron's Heavy-Duty Altazimuth Tripod is too short to be used comfortably for conventional binocular use, and ESPECIALLY when looking towards the zenith). The integrated tripod adapter is particularly useful here, and feels much more sturdy than binoculars that use separate screw-on tripod adapters that may often suffer from defects. It definitely feels very strong and heavy-duty. Aside from astronomical viewing, this pair of binoculars particularly excels in terrestrial viewing. Watching the new year fireworks through this bad boy was a sight to behold. If focused correctly (which might be tedious due to the binoculars using an individual focusing mechanism, rather than centre focusing), individual firework particles could be made out from others among thousands. The resolution is noticeably better than other binoculars with smaller apertures (having tried a pair of 15x70s prior to purchasing this), and also performs well in high-distance bird watching (of course, using a tripod). The protective case is a different story. The padding inside is quite difficult to handle, and I find myself leaving the binoculars outside of their case, as it's too much of a hassle to get the binoculars in and out of the padded case. The lens covers (especially on the objectives) easily come off when pulling the binoculars out of the case, which could be a minor nuisance. All in all, this is an amazing choice for anyone who wants to get into astronomy, as they can appreciate the amazing sights of space as well as develop skills such as star-hopping and picking out fainter details. Always purchase a heavy-duty tripod with these if you want the best performance from these. Clear Skies.

Which should I get?** A: Hello! In my 50+ years as a user of hundreds of types of lenses, telescopes and binoculars I have found any "ZOOM" product is far less sharp than a fixed millimeter group of lenses. I currently purchased the Celestron 25 X 100 astronomy binoculars and could not be more pleased. Images are all very sharp with excellent contrast - both of which are extremely important when looking at the night sky as well as in terrestrial viewing. I would definitely recommend the 25 X 100 binocs. Hope this helped. Terry D **Q: Would I be able to see the rings of Saturn with the binocs?** A: Just got these in yesterday from another retailer and yes if your steady enough or use tripod you can see saturn's rings. You can see the brightest of jupiters 4 moons as star points too. I also got great views of the Orion Nebula (M42) which was amazing. All objects mention above where seen from the city. **Q: With this pair not having focus or zoom lever, would the 25-125x80 be a better pair for astronomy searching?** A: I own the zoom model 25-125Γ—80, and now I wish I had 25 x 100. Please DONT BE FOOL BY THE ZOOM FUNCTIONILITY. 25 x 100 will definitely give you crisp image because its prime lens. My zoom bino has some soft-image problem at the edges and it seems to be very common issue. Zoom is just useless. 100 aperture will give you more light and 25x is enough to see planets and stars. Again, having individual focus ring is better that you wont get in 25-125x80 model. **Q: Are these suitable for bird watching? Specificaly birds of prey?** A: No, not at all they are like hand holding a celestial telescope. If rested on a car roof they might work, but they are annoyingly large for transport. They require a tripod and good for the viewing of a fixed object like a pack of wolves at Yellowstone 1 mile out. This much power and the binocular view is just too bouncy. The best bird watchers / NASCAR watching for the money I purchased were the Vortex diamondback 8X42. Waterproof and very clear glass, great in low light and not terribly expensive compared to the competition in this performance range. Don't get me wrong as they are a nice addition for sky watching the moon, rings on Saturn...., but practical for bird watching no. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Top Notch for Stargazing *by M***M on 3 January 2023* I'd argue that this pair of binoculars is one of the best for beginner stargazing (and even viewing some bright DSOs); the views are breathtaking, the build quality is impeccable, and the overall experience in using these binoculars was positive.
