Is it a good astronomy binocular?

For the price I think that they are good binoculars... and if you do use them during the day the ocular cups are a real plus. All that being said, I did return the pair that I purchased and bought a pair of Swarovski EL Range's which are close to 6 times the price of the Steiners because I am very particular about my optics. Needless to say there is a difference in the clarity between the two but for causal use probably not worth plunking down the extra money. Keep in mind that if your primary use is going to be for astronomy I would make sure that you get a tripod adapter.

I bought these for my husband after he researched all the different brands and decided that these were the best based on the price range that they are in. He loves them!

This scope is good for the price and you will not be able to see the planets as you might with the professional ones. It is great watching the land marks and the moon. I hope this helps.

10 x 50 binoculars are very good for astronomy. These are considered the first pair for many. You will be able to see many objects and they are also good for quickly learning the night skies of each season. Clear skies!

I can't speak to the economics of it; but I was looking at the full moon last week and it was beautiful. I could certainly see details of the lunar landscape and stars are also clearly visible. I'm sure a telescope is more suitable for long term viewing; but for a 30 second look at the night sky, these will do the task. I would not buy binoculars for this purpose alone. I use them regularly for watching birds and took them to Africa where they were terrific for game watching.

The image quality is good, particularly for the price. Its sharper & brighter than my Nikon binoculars and not quite as good as my pricier Zeiss monocular. For objects at 300 yards, you probably want something with a higher magnification.

Its a really fast wide field achromat refractor with lots of false color on bright objects like jupiter. Great for wide field deep space views. If you have scope and want to try astrophotography go ccd black and white on camera and LRGB filters. and a good processing and stacking software. that would be your best chance to get a decent image.

Yes it will work.. and works splendidly...you'll need to purchase two other twin lens to put on the Binocular. Using this Binocular is like driving a luxury car. You don't need it but it really feels good all over. It will take a little adjusting using both your eyes to look at the celestial object at one time.

It is easy to use. Yes I would say it is good for the novice user. You can see a lot more with a larger telescope and you get seriously into it you will want more aperture, however You can see a lot with this thing. It is especially good with the larger planets and fantastic with the moon though the moon is a little bright and if you are looking at it a lot you may need a moon filter. Deep space galaxies, nebula and so on can be seen but only the brighter objects.

The coatings actually help on light transmission. These binoculars are bright for the power. The 50 mm lens make them large and heavy but help with the brightness, They should work fine for astronomy. I don't use them much for that purpose but I have to some extent. I use them primarily for hunting and they do well in low light.

I think those are for binoculars that are 10x, 12X, 20X in power. Those are binocs more suited to astronomy. These have such a wide field of view that most people don't use them for astronomy.

I only used it for star gazing but I'm guessing it may be to strong. A refractor telescope would probably be of better use. a refractor telescope is definity easier to use.

this is definitely NOT an astronomical instrument. Yes, you can see anything through it, but as far as adding value to seeing the stars, no. you are better off with a pair of binoculars. This is strictly a terrestrial recreational handheld glass.

First you will not see the moons of Jupiter.I have a 8" scope and 3ea 3&1/2" scopes.There is too much light fog in my area so I use the Binocs and enjoy the stars,the moon and I don't have to set up the scops. There are not too many clear nights. If you have a dark sky area You should enjoy star gazing. Also. Binoculars are less costly than scops. your choice. Have fun.

These binoculars are good for night viewing. As for star viewing, they will do for a beginner. Once you get more into star viewing, you will probably want something more powerful. Amazon has plenty telescopes to choose from.

In short you can use this telescope for simple astrophotography like getting photos of moon and brighter objects like Jupiter and Saturn. You can't use this for faint objects because it needs tracking mount for long exposure. The manufacturer also mentioned that this scope is optimized for visual use rather than for photography. Visually it is superb. Clear Skies....!

I am nearsighted too and yes, this monocular is quite good without glasses. Not only should you focus on the Moon you will find the Pleiades in Taurus, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the double cluster in Perseus outstanding objects to look at early in the morning. In another month, two at the latest, you can look for the Orion Nebula as it gets higher in the east. Day or night, this monocular is great when a telescope is too slow and cumbersome for the occasion.

Yes - but you get what you pay for, these binos are not very quick to focus and just not that great if you have ever used some good ones like Leica or Zeiss. Different league of course, but still, I recommend you set expectations low and you might be satisfied...
