I just got some Celestron 15x70, but I'm not sure if I am using them correctly. I wear glasses and I am not sure whether I should take them off while looking through the binoculars. Also, many people in the reviews stated that they can see 4 of Jupiter's moons but I don't think I see that, maybe I need to make some adjustments?

I have a pair of Olympus 10x50 S Bins and a very lightweight and cheap pair of BNISE 12x25. Both Binoculars are very good. As you said I was disappointed with telescopes for there poor viewing experience and abysmal build quality and design or lack of it.

no more than D50mm for sky I agree. Coating is for daylight, evening comets, stars don t need any coated lenses and prisms, there is no significant internal reflection in not coated binoculars in the very dark night.

Just found your segment, have to say I've never seen anything except the moon, probably because I haven't a clue about what I'm doing. Stars that twinkle appear to jump around through binoculars why is that ??? As for planets never seen a thing, I currently own a pair of Leica binoculars which I've owned for more than 10 years 10 x 50 BA. Anyway I will keep watching, thanks in advance.

That can happen when you have a high magnification on your binoculars. Try resting your elbows on something and see if that helps make your view more steady.

Great observatory ! I have dreamt about getting my own since the beginng of the 90s. It is a bit costly. I live in a dwelling area with quite a bit of light pollution. I have a 60 mm refractor, also a Meade 70 mm Goto ETX which unfortunately is broken. I have a 6", 8" Dobsonian both Newtonian and then a 12" Newtonian made by myself also the mount installed with a Dob Driver II. I have also an old CCD autoguider, but just tested once. I see the great need to have an observatory to do photography and possibly CCD imaging because of the great hassle to get all equipment out, set up, alignment, troubleshooting etc, then take it all down again in the middle of the night pheww... Help observatory needed ! I have done some videography on the planets, some good results on Mars. But because of the hassle, difficulty with much snow outside in the winters, I haven't done it for over 15 years !

Question: Would a 70 mm binoculars with a zoom of 13 to 39 be a good one to buy? Psalm 19 King James Version 19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

We recommend avoiding zoom binoculars. The zoom feature is a significant point of failure and we find that it reduces the optical quality.

Thank you for your great video and yes, binos are the best and easy to set-up, but like you said, people are just taken back on the knowledge, basic, on how they work and they need to be setup first before use. Great video again, I loved it, you were fantastic.🌎🌠

I was very surprised by the difference between my 10x50s and cheap Celestron Skymaster 15x70s. I had to cut away the rubber in front of the right eyepiece on them to get to the prism screws though. They were way off when I got them. I took a few shots of whiskey, cut away the rubber, braced them against a pole and focused on a sign down the highway and turned the screws until the images matched. I can see so much more contrast of light details in the Milky Way with the big ones. Instead of just stars I see bright areas like nebulas that I missed before. I love using the big binos when hunting wild ripe fruits from great distances too and getting better details of new birds at my feeder. I found a nice cheap tripod for them too...the Joilcan AH75. I use it with my Celestron 70 Travel Scope too. The tripod that came with it is useless for optics and very difficult to use even on the moon. I actually gave up trying to see the moon using it. LOL!
