This giant binoculars w/tripod adapter has flaws

Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars w/Tripod Adapter
I purchased on of these and all you can say about it that is correct is it us large, but 15 times is hardly any magnification and I doubt if these binoculars have that much, plus adjustment are hard to adjust or either broken and you cannot adjust; also made in China and hard to get replacement and returning a object is like wishing you had never done business with this product. I have camera's with more magnification that are not a 15X70. Think about this one before you buy it.

I purchased these for my astronomy class in school and they turned out to be a great pair of binoculars. I could see all the constellations and the surface of the moon as though I was looking at my hand. Highly recommend

Wonderful and a great deal. But they MUST be on a stable tripod. Make your own holder DIY.
These are almost as good as my 8" DOB.

The only thing I'd like see improved is to make it easier to focus. I have another pair of less powerful ones that have a lever you push up and down on to focus. On the Giant ones you have to rotate a wheel.

I won't babble on about optics, b/c I don't know much about them, but in good seeing conditions you can distinguish some great star clusters through these (my first Messier objects), Jupiter's disk and moons (very small, but it's unmistakably a planetary disk and several tiny moons), and though you can tell Saturn's shape, it's not a great view. Because you get such a view through these, images do wobble massively, so it's hard to make out the finer details, as when viewing small objects or trying to see lunar craters (which are gorgeous through these). Training your hands to be more still will go a long way though, and I have so far not attempted to use a tripod. Maybe I'll post another review when I do. All in all, I highly recommend these for someone just starting out viewing solar system and deep sky objects.

Top of the line binoculars 2008-04-28
Great magnification and large field of view. Very lightweight and the tripod adapter is a real plus for this fine optical gear.
Great product for the price! 2008-04-23
I recently purchased these binoculars and agree with a previous review about the lack of protective packing it was shipped with. That being said they came out of the box collimated just fine. For this price you can afford to replace the vinyl carrying pouch included with a hard case if you want better protections as they will not get any proction from what they give you.
I bought these so I could share the night sky with my children more easily and they do not sit well with the time it takes to get out the Meade 10' scope. On the first night we took it out the ISS came overhead shortly afterwards and we were able to track it with the binoculars relativley well, but I would not suggest you try to do this for long with out a good video/camera tripod for more stationary objects, unless you are going to lie on the ground looking up.
The field of view is good for groupings of stars and I was able to just fit all of the three main stars of Orion's belt into view using the included tripod mount of course.
This will be a staple for my night viewing form here on out.
Great tool! My parole officer loves these binoculars. 2008-04-22
I am not a pro in looking thru glass, even though I shoot great pictures. These binos are a great tool, and I am very happy with them.
I am surrounded by wildlife and stars, and these binos are bringing everything much closer to me.
it's great for its value 2008-04-14
for the price, you can't go wrong with it. You could use this to look at the moon. A++++++ for this product!
