Hey folks!! NEVER NEVER buy binoculars with zoom lenses for stargazing. It´s best to buy binoculars with fixed magnification like the Celestron 15X70 above…the Celestron 20X80 is also good, but heavier.
Zoom binoculars are of lower quality and have more chromatic aberrations. Some years ago I purchased a pair of Skymaster 12-60X50 and I wouldn´t recommend them for terrestrial viewing either.
Yeah I’ve heard about those department store scopes…they’re no good. I’d like to get a proper telescope eventually, in the future.
Anyway, thanks for your reply. I appreciate it!
yep it’ll look like a little smudge in the sky, If you are to get anything bigger I would really consider a high quality telescope then, as these are already quite big and are pushing the limits of portability, which is a major thing I personally look for in a pair of binocs (magnification-clarity-portability). remember that magnification should be a secondary pursuit to quality. Go for quality over bold claims of super magnification (often found on dept store scopes) first, you wont regret it!
@jesserai
So Andromeda will look like a little fuzzy thing with these binos?
What would it look like with 20 x 80 or 25 x 100 binos?
I just bought a my first pair of binos…nothing expensive. Just a very inexpensive pair of 10 x 50s. I was able to see some nice detail on the Lunar surface…but didn’t get the chance to fully test them out.
Anyway, its all very exciting!
Dude I have these Binoculars and these are really really amazing.
Do you think any other binoculars in price range of 200 $ with lesser weight and compact can give a better and more clear visuals than these.? I mean in any brand. i ll take your suggestion as new guide to buy my new binoculars. Thanks
These binos need a tripod, though you can try to hold them with your hands, but tripod will make a significant improvement. Everything looks much better with a tripod.
Hey NuwKiro, was considering 10×50 bino’s but these look good. Just wondering what are they like weightwise, can you hold them steady for a good view or would you need a tripod?
Got a pair, these are Freakin Awesome! If you are debating between these and a cheep telescope for about the same price definitely go with the Binocs! Jupiter looks bigger and clearer with these at 15x than with my stupid loser telescope at 90x.
Nebula will look like fuzzy white smudges as well as the nearest galaxy Andromeda. Regardless these are very well priced and will get you started on the right track, and if going far into astronomy doesn’t turn out to be your thing you’ll have a great pair of binoculars that while large, are still much more portable and versatile than a large telescope
Uhmm, no. You would need an lens or a mirror of 1 meter in diameter to see colours in M42 being one of the brightest nebulae in the northern hemisphere. Anyway, you will definitely see some great details, though b&w will be the only colours you’ll see. Stars and planets obviously differ here.
so if I buy these binoculars you saying I will see the Nebula or perhaps some part of the sky in fancy colors? you know how some galaxies are purple etc
depends on what type of telescope, with these binoculars you can make out the Galilean satellites of Jupiter, andromeda galaxy, and many star clusters etc. though, they are a very good way to get into astronomy and learn the basics before deciding to move onto a better setup or a different hobby
beacuse the bino with zoom aren’t for sky watching….
bino isn’t for planets…
no it isnt sorry
no, and they suck.
Can you see Saturn clearly with these?
How does this compare to a telescope?
90% of all binocular models have from 7x to 10x magnification. 60x is like a telescope! But, keep in mind that the magnification is not the only attribute of the binocular. My father’s zooms can go up to 24x, but the exit pupil is like 1mm and it’s hardly possible to see anything.
For the daylight viewing the 60×90 should be good, provided you have a sturdy tripod. 60x is a humonguous magnification! Where did you get binos like that?
This would give you only 1.5mm exit pupil. So, these would too dark for astronomy. Maybe good for brighly lit Moon, but not for much else. The magnification is very high, but at the cost of the brightness.
Well, first of all the name of the product is Skymaster so I could guess that the binocular is designed for gazing at the stars. I’d say if you are a starter, you definitely want to buy this pair.
Is this binocular good enough for astronomy ?
Can i see something on the sky with it ?
I just purchased this one on sale. Seems quite good. The cap for the eye piece side is kind of cheesy as it doesn stay on.
Overall I’m happy at the price I paid. Cant go wrong.
my 25 year old tasco 7×50 binos still amaze me with theyre mag power for even this low mm and light draw.
to bad tasco dosent make any large binos.
The 2nd one.
