Pit574: Solch ein Fernglas habe ich bisher noch nicht in der Hand gehabt.
Klare Sicht und auch wenn es noch oder wieder etwas dunkel draußen ist kann man gut sehen.
Ebenfalls zum Sterne schauen gut geeignet.
Es ist um es lange in der Hand zu halten zu groß und schwer.
Aber mit dem Zubehör kann es sehr gut auf einem Stativ befestigt werden.
(Wir haben mittlerweile schon ein zusätzliches gekauft, weil uns die Klasse überzeugt hat.
Mein Sohn mit seines ungern ausgeliehen hat.)

BP: I use these for stargazing and the image is very bright and very clear.Its amazing how much you can see of the night sky with these!I have absolutely no complaints.I would definitely recommend using them with a tripod because due to the high magnification,the image can be shaky by hand BUT,The more you use them,the the less shake you get as you adapt but,again I would recommend a tripod for long viewing sessions. They are very large binoculars and have good weight.They also seem very well made and look nice.I can see the moons craters,Saturn's rings,loads of satellites that you can't see with the naked eye and what I call space clouds(I am fairly new to astronomy still)Maybe they are nebula or galaxies?Bottom line is,these are great binoculars for getting into astronomy and would highly recommend these.I use them more than my telescopes.You get such a bright and wide field of view.Cant beat the price either.

Luis ArtLuis Art: Hace falta decirlo, a mi parecer, una excelente relación calidad/precio, vienen cuidados, limpios, las lentes son de excelente calidad, se sienten robustos y cumplen lo que prometen. Sin embargo hay que aclarar, estos binóculares requieren de un tripié, es posible observar con ellos con solo las manos pero pesan bastante y se vuelve cansado, igualmente es necesario mencionar que el aumento (el cual es increíble para observación de astros, la luna, paisajes etc) deja al límite la posibilidad de tener una imágen estable sin tripié. Hace unos días estuve observando el cielo en busca del cometa C/2022 E3 (ZTF), el famoso cometa verde, a pesar de lo tenúe que era y de estar cerca de una ciudad densa logré vislumbrar el manchón verde del cometa, ver nebulosas como orión o conjuntos estelares como las pleyades es increíble, desde que los tengo observo el cielo cada noche (si el clima se presta claro). Algo más, si quieres estos binóculares es posible que estés pensando también en un teléscopio, la realidad es que comprar estos binóculares es una excelente opción, no solo tienen el alcance y la luminosidad suficiente para competir con un telescopio de...

Mike G: My interest in enjoying long-distance viewing, both terrestrial and celestial, had been on the rise as of late. So I decided to do some checking. The telescope that interested me looked to be well-suited to this activity, but I realized that I'd have to purchase a mount and tripod, at the least, and possibly some other accessories (lens, etc.). This, I figured, was going to run at least $500; not an amount I was ready to invest.

So as my research progressed, specifically in the direction of binoculars, I came across this Celestron SkyMaster 25 x 70mm binoculars. Touted as appropriate for both celestial and terrestrial viewing, especially given the less-than-$100 price tag, the binoculars seemed to me to be a good fit: not a huge investment and would also be a significant step up from my current binoculars. And the price was about 1/3rd that of the 25 x 100mm while still, in my opinion, providing a decent long-distance viewing experience.

I've had these binoculars for about a month now and I have to say that I really do enjoy them.

I should note that I ordered and use the "Barska Binocular Tripod Adapter" instead of the one that came with...

Mark Twain9: I originally gave these four stars because the focus has play in it. I bumped them up to 5 stars because of the low price and the fantastic astronomical views. They stay in the focus you put them in, but the play occurs only during adjustment. My 16x50 is much better for daytime sight seeing.

1. The eyepiece lens is 23mm, vs 18mm for my Nikon Aculon 16x50, 16mm for my Celestron 10x50, and 13mm for my Tasco 7x35. Despite this, they have the same eye relief as the smaller binoculars, and also a moderately smaller apparent field of view.
2. I followed the exit pupil, drew a triangle, and quickly and accurately measured the apparent field of view of the Celestron 25x70 to be only 57.5 degrees, and that is the maximum no matter where your eye is. My Nikon's are 61 degrees, my Celestron 10x50 is 60 degrees, and my Tascos are 58 degrees. Visual observation confirms these math measurements.
3. They are noticeably heavier than my other binos, but not a lot.
4. They are easy to hand hold very steady in the day time, without resting my elbows on anything. At night it is much better to have something to brace my elbows on.
5. They look like they are good...
