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

These binoculars are very capable night sky viewers. They replaced my Russian-made Sotem 7X50s that were stolen. The Sotem's were quite good, but with the current world situation, very difficult to replace. Having read up on the Celstron units, I figured I would give them a try. The first pair I received were returned due to a hair in the view field of the right lens. I was disappointed about the quality control, as these are manufactured in China. The second pair had no issues and they are great for night sky viewing with stars shown as points, good views of nebula, and star clusters. A good product for a bargain price.

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 bought these for both terrestrial and sky use. I would say that the quality is pretty good overall and great for the price. Optics is something that has a very steep price to quality curve and these seems to be good enough for the amateur (no noticeable chromatic aberration that causes small bright white objects to smear into a rainbow of colors as in poor quality binoculars). In reading the reviews, I noticed some people are unfamiliar with using binoculars. Binoculars are hinged in the middle to allow you to adjust the span between the two lenses to merge the two images into one image. At night look at the moon or a distant street lamp which is a single object (as opposed to a star field) and adjust the hinge as you look to merge the images to create one distinct image. Each person will have a slightly different adjustment for this. Then once you have set this you can look at the stars. The other adjustment is to close your right eye and focus on some distant object using the main focus adjustment in the center. Then open your right eye and adjust the individual diopter adjustment to focus the right eye's image. Each person will have a different setting for this that depends on their eyes. Also note that hand held binoculars are not a replacement for a telescope on a tripod. It is impossible to hold the binoculars by hand steady enough to prevent shaking of the image even at relatively low magnifications, though if you can rest your elbows on something firm that helps. On the other hand, binoculars like these are far easier to carry with you than a telescope. The good: The optical quality is pretty good and I would say very good for the price point. They are reasonably light while still giving a good image. Great for looking at the moon and terrestrial use. Could use improvement: If as the result of lasik or cataract surgery you have "mono vision" where one eye is focused on distance and one eye is focused for reading and close-up, the range of the individual eye diopter adjustment on the binoculars is right up against the limit the diopter adjustment on the binoculars will go. It would be better if there were more range of the binocular diopter adjustment.

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!

I would definitely recommend!! Bought this & a telescope for my hubby for his birthday. We like to star gaze and this is absolutely perfect for that, also way easier for a beginner than an actual telescope. If u want to just look at stars or the moon this is better than a telescope in my opinion at least for a beginner. You can’t beat the price.

Perfect binoculars for anything, but especially anyone just starting to get into stargazing. Very easy to use, durable, and you can see a lot of detail in space. Easy to bring with you everywhere.

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...

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.

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.

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👌💯
