Cometron 7x50 Astronomy Binoculars – Entry-Level for Stargazing and Comet Watching – Large 50mm Objective Lenses – Wide 6.6° Field of View – Multi-Coated Optics

7x50 is the sweet spot for binoculars intended mainly for stargazing. 7x magnification is enough to resolve a lot of double stars, give you easy views of Jupiter's 4 largest moons, to see the major features of our own moon, and (with solar filters) to see sunspots. Anything less and you might not see enough detail to feel satisfied, anything more and you're going to have a hard time holding the binoculars steady enough to enjoy the detail being provided by the magnification. 50mm objective lenses bring in enough light to allow you to get truly grand views of the milky way (if you can get to a dark sky location) and clear resolution of images; of course larger is better but also a lot more expensive and often manufacturers pair the larger objectives with higher magnification which is NOT helpful. The specific optics of these Celestron "Cometron" binoculars have a good field of view so they're great on nights with peak meteor activity or for looking at wide swaths of sky at one time for other reasons. The quality of the optics is quite good with little aberration, decently dark backgrounds, and the two elements are well collimated – very important and not always the case for inexpensive binoculars. For the price these are hard to beat. I bought a pair of Meade binoculars also and while they were pretty good the two optical paths were not collimated at all; which means it was almost impossible to "merge" the two images because the two optical arrays weren't parallel to each other and therefore weren't pointing in exactly the same direction. They're OK for casual terrestrial viewing or as toys for kids but otherwise worthless. These Celestron models, only slightly more expensive, are not only a fantastic value they are among the best low-end hand-held binoculars available, you'd have to pay a hundred dollars more for a significant increase in quality. This isn't a knock on Meade in general, they make great scopes, but the low-end binoculars I've bought from them have some quality-control issues and aren't in any special way better than these Celestron binoculars. These binoculars are easily adjusted for people with different pupillary distance (spacing between the eyes) by just squeezing the scopes together or pulling them apart around the central hinge. Focus is done with a center adjuster and is smooth in both directions. There is a diopter adjustment on one eyepiece (allowing the user to fine-tune the focus should their eyes require different correction). The eyepieces have foldable eyecups so they're easy to use with or without eyeglasses – note that unless you have significant astigmatism it is better to use a telescope or binoculars without your glasses.

I love these binoculars and for the price that I paid for them you wouldn't believe how thick and sturdy and heavy these binocular are but in a good way and you can show very close everything I took them out for the blood moon and that was so cool if you like stars and astrology you will love his binoculars!!! I live in the city even the Stars that are hiding behind the clouds and they peek through you can see the stars cuz he's a very good binoculars!

K got these for my dad for Christmas and he is extremely happy. He had a very old pair of Bushnell (like 40 years old) that he would use on occasion to look at deer or an eagle since we live in the country. His Bushnell still worked but he wanted a pair to keep out in his shop, well these now stay beside his recliner in the living room :) I seen these and figured they would be just ok for what he wanted and the price was great since I couldn't afford a new pair of bushnells. I thought they would be of cheaper quality, but i hoped was wrong and I was. These are much sturdier and sound then I expected, they feel very solid. They are lighter in weight so your arms don't tire, which is nice. Things are crisp and clear when viewing them even at a distance (about 3 or 4 telephone polls, here in the country thats about 600 to 1000 feet) Very easy to focus also. Another awesome thing is the clarity in lower light. Deer like to come out at dusk and we can see them pretty good (I don't mean these work in the dark, but when the sun has about set and the worlds light is a yellowish gray, these work well). We just had a super moon and seeing it through these binoculars was absolutely breathtaking. I could really make out the markings on the moon. My dad was even wowed! I plan on grabbing another pair of these since he has forgotten his old pair and only uses these. I really do recommend these to anyone who wants a nice binocular. These are NOT cheaply made and I have no doubt you will be happy with this purchase. I gave it 5 stars because my dad and I are really truly impressed with Celestrons. I don't have anything negative to say! For once I got much much more then what I paid for, in a very good way! Thank you so much!

We love our pair of these. Will be getting a longer range pair eventually too. Good quality.

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.

Ürün belirtilen tarih aralığında geldi, korunaklı bir şekilde paketlenmiş, satıcıya teşekkür ederim. Henüz mercek ayarlarını tam olarak yapamadım ilk defa dürbün kullanıyorum, ama bu haliyle bile çok beğendim, balkondan çok uzak mesafeleri bile yakın ve net gördüm. Fiyat performans açısından başarılı bir ürün. Tek moralimi bozan ürün bugün elime ulaştı ve bugün fiyatının 400 TL birden düştüğünü görüyorum, açıkçası hoş bir durum olmadı bu.

Ich habe das Cometron als Geschenk gekauft und natürlich gleich erstmal getestet. Man will ja wissen, was man verschenkt. Vor allem, wenn es für ein Kind gedacht ist. Vorweg: Ich besitze ein knapp fünfmal so teures Glas eines anderen Herstellers mit derselben Öffnung und Vergrößerung und habe das einfach mal zum Vergleich herangezogen. Im direkten Vergleich hat das Cometron doch recht gut abgeschnitten. Nur ganz minimal geringerer Kontrast, der Unterschied ist fast nicht zu bemerken, minimal stärkere Reflexe bei direkten Gegenlichtquellen (Straßenlampen, Autoscheinwerfer). Das Sehfeld ist beim Cometron etwas weiter. Auch recht deutliches Kidneybeaning bei zu dichtem Blick in die Okulare im hellen Tageslicht ist gewöhnungsbedürftig. Abhilfe könnten anders designte Augenmuscheln schaffen. Aber wenn man es weiß und den Effekt kennt (Astronomisch Erfahrene kennen das Problem bei lichtstarken Optiken), kann man das durch etwas Übung ausgleichen. Ansonsten überzeugt das optische System auf ganzer Linie. Aber wie geschrieben, das Vergleichsgerät das diese Problemchen nicht hat, stammt aus einer deutlich teureren Preisklasse und ist auch für einen direkten Vergleich eigentlich nicht angebracht. Für seine Preisklasse liefert das Cometron ein ganz fantastisches Ergebnis. Es macht schlicht Spaß und das Bild das mein Exemplar liefert, ist absolut toll. Ja, das Cometron ist Klasse. Es liefert für sich betrachtet ein scharfes, kontrastreiches und helles Bild. Die optischen Achsen sind bei meinem Exemplar auch super justiert. Das Cometron macht einfach Spaß bis weit in die Dämmerung hinein. Am Himmel konnte ich es nur kurz in einer Wolkenlücke am Mond testen. Auch da nichts zu beanstanden. Optisch hat es bestanden. Ohne wenn und aber. Mechanisch... nun ja, die Preisklasse. Also erstmal klappert oder wackelt nichts. Das ist gut. Das Fokussierrad läuft recht leicht. Gut für Kinderhände. Selbst verstellt hat es sich auch nicht. Auch gut. Das Fernglas an sich ist gemessen an meinem Glas aus der anderen Preisklasse recht leicht. Es wird viel Kunststoff verbaut. Auch der Okularträger (die Arme an denen die Okulare befestigt sind) scheint Plastik zu sein. Aber 100% sicher bin ich mir nicht. Das sollte aber kein Problem sein. Man rammt sich ja die Okulare nicht aufs Auge. Die Gummierung des Hauptkörpers ist aufgeklebt und wirkt billig. Man riecht es auch, aber nicht unangenem stark. Es riecht wie frisch gekaufter Kunststoff. ;-) Auch in der Verarbeitung wirkt es so. Aber so lange sich das nicht löst, ist das auf die Preisklasse bezogen akzeptabel. Zumal die verbaute Optik das locker wett macht. Aber insgesamt hat das Gehäuse seine Ecken und Kanten. In der Gehäuseverarbeitung ist definitiv für künftige Modelle viel Luft nach oben. Das wirkt doch etwas plump. Vor allem an den Kanten der Gummierung. Mein Fazit: Wenn ich die Preisklasse zugrunde lege, ist das ein super Fernglas mit sehr brauchbaren optischen Fähigkeiten. Es hat haptisch seine recht deutlichen Ecken und Kanten, vielleicht ist es auch kein Fernglas fürs ganze Leben, aber seinen Job als lichtstarkes 7x50-Fernglas für astronomische Zwecke, aber auch als Alltagsglas für unterwegs erfüllt es voll und ganz. Man kann es getrost kaufen, wenn es um den Nutzwert geht. Ich persönlich mag ja solche Geräte, die auch in den unteren Preisklassen ihren Zweck hundertprozentig erfüllen. Das hat man heutzutage nicht oft. Hier ist das gegeben. Und die Kanten, na ja, das ist damit auch ok.

I could straight away marvel at the night sky as I could see so many many stars and star clusters through this binocular which are truly hard to see with naked eye. Best binocular for less than 5k. I purchased on Amazon through SLT retailer who did not provide Celestron branded neck strap. Better to buy with some other seller.
