I bought these instead of a small telescope, and I'm very happy with them. The optics are very clear. The build quality seems very good. And the price is right. I can't really ask for much more. If I could, maybe that they be water-proof, instead of 'water-resistant'. I've been using them for some basic stargazing and sightseeing, etc. I'm steady enough to use them without a tripod, but one is recommended for any serious astronomy use. ..One tip if you're not using a tripod. Hold the binoculars at the end of the lenses, not in the middle. They'll be much more steady.

We bought these binoculars for our son when he turned seven. He has a great interest in astronomy, and we considered buying him a telescope. We had read several reviews recommending buying a student a nice pair of binoculars before purchasing a telescope. This recommendation proved to be exactly right. Our entire family has enjoyed these binoculars, and the lunar eclipse over Michigan a few weeks ago was a delight! They are heavy, but our seven year old is able to handle them, and they come with a neck strap. He knows their value, and has been quite careful with them. I wouldn't hesitate to give them to another child this age.
The reason I can't give the binoculars five stars is as follows: This last weekend, one of the eye-pieces broke off. Knowing that there is a no-fault warranty on the binoculars, I called Celestron. The customer service man was knowledgeable and cordial, but it was only then that I became aware of the warranty catch. To take advantage of the no-fault warranty

I just bought the celestron 15x70 last week and they are great. they arrived yesterday and i took them out that night. on the first night i saw two galexies and the nebulae in orion. They have good optics but are a little difficult to focus. The only down side really is that they are a little heavy and need a tripod but other than that they are great for other amatuer astronomers.
