Celestron Cometron 7x50mm Astronomy Binoculars

I bought these to supplement my stargazing. I am new to the hobby and have been using a bigger brother of these little guys (the 15x70), but while having to order another pair of the giants due to an accident, I decided to toss in a pair of these as well. They are so CHEAP! And so highly rated! I figured for the price it would be hard to go wrong. And this was the case - things went extremely right. I went to an event our local astronomy club gave for a scout group and set up my 15x70 on its tripod, and hung these around my neck. A little more background: we are in Florida, and the event happened in mid-June, and it had stormed all afternoon and was still dripping when we arrived at the site. The skies partially cleared as we waited, but the humidity could have filled up a filter jug. About 1/4 of the way into our various demonstrations, my large binoculars got fogged up on their tripod. The sides of the big binos - which are not coated with rubber - were literally dripping with dew by the end of the demonstration. The lenses fogged up completely, rendered useless by Florida's humidity. I could see more with my naked eye. So much for my brand-new pair of 15x70 giant binocs. It was a much happier story for our little troopers here. They have rubber on almost all of the exposed parts, and I don't know if that was the reason, but never ONCE did I notice fogging on the lenses, nor any dew on the binos. Thus it was that I was able to impress the scouts with how a light, inexpensive pair of binoculars can help open up the sky. I've heard stories of collimation problems, but I'm happy to say my pair was aligned perfectly and performed wonderfully, and one excited scout is almost certain to get a pair of them for Christmas this year as a result of the event... Of course, these would in theory be outstripped in functionality by much more expensive and/or larger binoculars. They don't image-stabilize, they aren't waterproof, and they are probably more subject to quality-control issues than if you bought something for $300 or more. But... price. You could buy TEN of these for the price of the really good binocs, and have spares for parties. They won't open up the sky like the larger binoculars or a telescope, but... they still bring out details the naked eye cannot see, and are the first thing I'd grab if I only had limited stargazing availability because they are zero-to-viewing in just a few seconds. And apparently they are somewhat resistant to the effects of extreme humidity, which is a massive plus here in the semi-tropics. Also, as a bonus, their smaller size makes them useful for daytime viewing as well (nature hikes, concerts, etc), something that I cannot say about the heavy, bulky 15x70s. These will start accompanying me on my park walks, and I've already used them to observe deer in my yard. I therefore highly recommend these not only as starter binocs for newbies to the night sky world, but as a permanent supplement for those who have a larger telescope. And they'd be great for daytime users as well. Their portability, usable quality, ease-of-use, and humidity resistance really makes them stand out when you consider how little they cost. And as I found out last night, they are just light enough that many children can manage them for several minutes at a time (though if the kid is small enough you might want to invest in a light-weight tripod - something that costs less than $30 should be fine for this particular pair). Yes, the really expensive brands are no doubt better, but at less than $30USD per pair, it's easy to justify starting out with these or just adding a pair to one's scope collection.

I bought these primarily to use at night to look at stars. I think they work great! Easy to focus and seem durable

I bought myself these binoculars for my own Christmas present. I wanted something to view the boats, mountains, and the stars... I'm an amateur star gazer... these binoculars are easy to use, no adjustments are needed. I appreciate the ease of use, the grab and go availability. These binoculars are good for terrain and star gazing. I'd say perfect for a beginner or intermediate. You won't be able to see planets distinctly, but you will be able to view the moon and the bright stars, as well as any terrain elements ie mountains, aerial movements etc. I appreciate these binoculars,although I wish there was more capacity for visual focus, as not all views have the ability to focus to a solid perspective. In short, feel comfortable buying these binoculars is you are looking for a device to help you better spectate your surroundings- ie stars or terrain- don't expect to see all the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn. I'd definitely buy this product again, due to it meeting my needs- tbh I use these to search the sky for UAPs- which I have filmed and documented with this as a tool/device. I'm pleased with my purchase.

Clear viewing. Lightweight enough to hold for a while. Love the product.

Bought these kinda for the name and the sale price was really really good. Couldn't pass them up. Well I was pleasantly surprised for a cheap pair. The field of view is great. Binocular quality is good. My only kinda complaint is the caps don't stay on very well and are not attached. I use for stargazing, with other binoculars and telescopes. They are a good addition that I don't mind lending out.

Great for bird watching and just everyday viewing. Very clear, perfectly adjustable. Just like old fashioned binocs

This review is for the Celestron-Cometron 7x50 Astronomy Binoculars. Overall these are good working binoculars, the problem is, they are considered entry level for stargazing and comet watching, but can be difficult to adjust and focus. Finding the correct IPD should be a simple inward or outward movement at the hinge. However, the hinge is a bit to lose even for small children and beginners. This results in over correcting. The main focus dial located on the bridge, moves freely but does not offer enough resistance, and again, this leads to over or under focusing. The diopter dial is fine, it stayed fixed once it was set. When you consider these binoculars are for beginners, they are too challenging in my opinion to work with, especially if you are trying to teach someone how to adjust binoculars and how to correctly use them. In terms of optical quality, they are on par with other entry level binoculars at this price point and offer clear viewing, perhaps a notch above. They work well for both terrestrial and celestial viewing. The 7X magnification is enough power to see nice images of the moon including craters. The 7X magnification is also ideal for those who are not use to holding binoculars, less is more in terms of power when looking at stars and comets. The higher the magnification, the more hand shaking, and although these binoculars have a nice 50MM objective lens for light gathering, they are light enough for most people to handle without any real problem, children included. Because of their wide field of view, tracking and following satellites is fun. The binoculars come with a very nice nylon carrying case, although the strap is short. The neck strap is also a good quality, in fact the neck strap that comes with the Cometron 7x50 is by far and away better than the neck strap that came with my more expensive SkyMasters. I like these binoculars for casual stargazing, bird watching and to take on hikes, but given the weak hinge and focus dial, you may find yourself adjusting and re-adjusting the focus more than you would with something in the roof prism style of binoculars. Still a good bargain for the casual user...

Purchased these to see the stars better from our yard. Great purchase. They work well.

مافي زيه الي يقول خايس ما عرف يقيم يخلي كل شي واضح ما شاءلله و

The focusser is all-plastic and thereby whobbles a lot. The lenses immediately fog up when using the lens cups. The image does not appear to be very sharp.

Top, achetées en promo à super prix, ce sont mes premières « vraies » jumelles après avoir eu des modèles vraiment bas de gamme. Je suis impressionné par la luminosité et la netteté.

Good product. Received as specified. Performance as mentioned.

Vamos lá, ele chegou no período de 13 dias (normal) entregue pela total express 💯. Paguei 401 Sobre o binóculos, é o meu primeiro, e pra ser bem sincero eu amei! Depois que peguei a prática de regular e fazer as observações, foi fantástico, a qualidade é muito boa, pena que na foto não dá pra ver direito mais é bem limpo, ainda não tiver a oportunidade de fazer observações noturna pois tá nublado mais pelas observação acredito que vai dá bom. Sobre a aproximação de 7x, não aproxima tanto mas tem uma ótima e muito boa aproximação, em lugares de médias distância fica ótimo, não há do que reclamar. Por mais que algumas pessoas falaram que é frágil, no pegar dele passa uma certa resistência, é bom de pegar nele, além de ser muito bonito. Sobre os acabamentos, olhando inversamente, do lado maior para o menor, da pra perceber tipo uma cola em ambos os lados, não sei se é normal ou é a qualidade do acabamento, porém não atrapalha, só questão de estética mesmo. Recomendo sim, pode comprar sem medo, gostei demais👌💯
