Celestron 15 X 70 Binoculars Sep 28, 2008 A very clear view and easy to adjust. Viewing through these binoculars is best done using a heavy duty tripod due to the weight and the difficulty in holding them steady.
This set got me hooked on nature viewing. Sep 15, 2008 These binoculars are great for the price. I can put them in my back pack and go. I share them with people and they oooh and aahhhh. I do need to lean against something to hold them still or rest them on something to hold them up for awhile. At home I use a tripod. I keep the lenses cleaned frequently and I use an anti-fog cloth at night. I wear them around my neck when I walk the dog even though they're a bit heavy. I just lift them and see so much more than the naked eye can see really clear. It's an instant feeling of relaxation.
Nice Binoculars! Sep 01, 2008 Nice binoculars with wide field of view. Very crisp and clear images. Definitely need tripod for distant objects very difficult to hold steady. Good view of Jupiter and it's major moons.
Underwhelming Aug 09, 2008 I'm not happy with mine. They suffer from ghosting when I view planets. Only the center 2/3ds of the field of view is relatively clear (except for the ghosting). These are cheap binoculars, and you would be better served spending a little more and getting a lot more binocular.
Very nice Aug 03, 2008 Very good quality, easy to use/handle, crisp clear optics. We really like these. Highly recommended.
