Absolutely worth the money

These binoculars are heavy, but not too heavy to hold steadily. The optics are clean and collimated, and provide a good view of many larger deep-sky objects from my backyard. Eye relief is adequate for my daughter to use them while wearing her eyeglasses.

I would not want to take these binoculars backpacking (due to the weight) but they have been ideal at sporting events, on a road trip, and for wide field astronomy.

I can finally see Jupiter & Jovian Moons with Binoculars!

While these have some of the chromatic error one would expect from binoculars with a pricetag in the low three figure range, they are of unparalleled quality for the price. The light-gathering capability of these binoculars make it unwise to look at the moon when your eyes are adjusted to the dark, especially if you have sensitive eyes because you're tired.

One thing I noticed for the first time (my previous binoculars were only 10x50) was that you would be well-advised to use a tripod, and the included tripod adapter is functional, thank goodness; I used it multiple times a week, and without it, my viewing experience would definitely be hampered. The magnification is high enough you definitely want to use a tripod (or lie flat on your back if you have rock-steady arms) unless you're bracing them against something. The only way around that is to buy Image Stabilization binoculars for a four-figure price tag.

The quality of the lenses & coatings is superior to my previous 10x50 binoculars; they're of good quality. Really, for the price, and the quality level, there's nothing a rational, objective person has to complain about unless the delivery truck totally abused your pair. These are great, high quality, extremely useful binoculars, from a name you can trust.

And while you can't see the colors of Jupiter at this magnification, you can identify the giant gas planet thanks to the moons (with a tripod or rock-steady hands). What a fun experience! Now my four and eight year old children ask me every night if Jupiter is visible, just before they go to bed. :)

We recently purchased and used these binoculars on a trip to Colorado--Mesa Verde and Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Amazing resolution and great for star gazing as well. Our only complaints are that they seem to be a bit heavy, plus the product does not come with a hard case, which would be a wise investment. But for less than $70, these are very minor issues.

Celestron SkyMaster Giant Binoculars with Tripod Adapter

I recently became interested in astronomy and bought these binoculars to acclimate myself prior to buying a telescope. These are perfect for the casual person who likes to look at the night sky. They are not limited to night time use. If the conditions are right you can see brilliant detail of the craters on the moon. I use them every night and love them.

Amazing views of the sky.

I am not an astronomer by any means. However, these binoculars are certainly a good start. These binoculars are huge, which is exactly what I wanted. The amount of light they gather is amazing. The first night I had them out, I had to put on my sunglasses to look at the full moon. I mounted them on my cheap camera tripod. Once settled, a nice stable view appears. The view is very sharp when focused correctly. Out of the box, these worked great, and are definitely worth the $55. I agree with some other posters that holding them near the end of the lenses offers a much more stable view. The case could be better, but I didn't buy these for the case. May get a sturdier tripod mount in the future, but the included one will certainly do for now. What amazes me is how many more stars there are that the naked eye can't see. I can look at what appears to be a blank spot in the sky, and see a whole star field through these binoculars. Bangarang.
