Great views, but Huge

By Hans

from Doylestown, PA on 7/10/2007

Pros:

Quality Lenses, Strong Construction

Cons:

Bulky

Best Uses:

Astronomy

Describe Yourself:

Casual/Recreational

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These binoculars show great detail, but require a tri-pod and work best for stationary objects. The moon viewed through them is absolutely awesome. I have had trouble seeing much detail of planets or star clusters. However, I have not had them out yet in a non-light polluted area.

I've enjoyed hours observing star clusters; nebulae; and the moon with my skymasters. I mounted them on an Orion heavy duty tripod which is a must for these big binos.

GREAT LOOKING AT THE MOON AND THE STARS

Excellent Quality but it really is heavy

By Yarddog

from Western Florida on 2/5/2007

Pros:

Quality Lenses, Strong Construction

Cons:

A little clumsy to use

Best Uses:

Astronomy, long distance viewing

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Arrived well packed both from manufacturer and seller. Nice storage case. The optics are of excellent quality, especially for the price. Construction is solid as it basically has to be.

It really is heavy. Too much for most of my tripods and even my heavy duty one barely handles it. The great view makes up for a lot of the handling problems tho.

affordablity

By sirius

from nys on 2/5/2007

Pros:

Inexpensive, Quality Lenses, Strong Construction

Cons:

Bulky, Heavy, Unstable

Best Uses:

Astronomy, Great for clusters

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Simply put, any 25x100 affords the astronomer a unique fov not capable in single lens scopes. It truely is like using two single scopes for each eye. Exceptional planetary views and incredible dept of our moons lunar surface. During dark clear nights,these giants reveal many objects otherwise unseen throughout our milkyway. All binocular targets displayed in my charts are easily observed through these giants but you need a steady tripod for panning and suppporting these 10lbers. For the money?..well, my eyeglasses cost 100 dollars more than these and all i can say is i feel i got my moneys worth! These are built using a hell of alot more materials ,backed by incredible engineering and even backed by a limited lifetime warranty for just over a few hundred dollars! can not go wrong.

Field of View (Degree Angle)

By Sleepy from Portsmouth, NH on 1/15/2007

Pros:

Reasonable price, Strong Construction

Cons:

Not good with glasses

Best Uses:

Astronomy

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Field of View per Manufacturer is 3.0 degrees, BUT based on actual observation of star fields and comparison with detailed star atlas, the field is really about 2.3 degrees, certainly less than 2.5 degrees.
