Last week, visited the dark sky site and saw the beautiful sky with full of stars with naked eye and once I used this binocular then I and my kids were really amazed. We also saw the Jupiter and its 4 or 5 shining moons and also saw the Saturn with its rings.
Last night, viewed the Super Blue Moon (August 30, 2023) from my balcony and moon was really brighter and clear from the binocular, I never saw the moon that much brighter and clear live from my eyes. I also captured the pictures from my Samsung Galaxy S21 FE phone camera through the eyepiece of binocular and pictures are attached but not that clear as it was directly from binocular but still I love these pictures. I had to take these pictures via PRO mode with different ISO, Aperture and White Balance settings hence moon colors are different.
This is the first binocular I bought in my life and I'm really happy.
I also bought the Amazon basics Tripod stand for night sky view for long time.
It is not very light but I and my kids can hold and view the moon and sky easily but if you want to see planet like Saturn or Jupiter then you will need Tripod stand otherwise due to vibration from your hands you cannot view properly or if you want to take pictures of sky and moon then you must need Tripod stand.
I definitely recommend Celestron 15x70 binocular.

These can see for miles. Every time I use them it is exciting. It blows my mind just how sharp an image you can see even though it is literally miles away. Farthest thing I saw so far was over 400 million miles away, which was Jupiter. It could easily be seen in the sky, but the coolest part is you can even see its moons. I never thought I would be able to see either with just binoculars.
Things at night are very bright. The large lens let in so much light. I saw a raccoon in a tree and could see he was looking at me. I couldn't even tell there was something there with my normal eyes, but could see it in detail with these. They are not actual night vision like it says, but they mean you can see much clearer at night than you can with your regular vision. I saw a city at night really far away that could not be seen with the human eye too. It was roughly 40miles away. It was not very clear at that distance, and it was night, but you could clearly see the lights and the buildings. Was pretty cool.
Overall, if you live in a place that allows you to see really far I would definitely get these. They are a lot of fun. Once you look out of them for a few minutes it is like another universe seeing so far once you put them down. You will be shocked every time that you could see so far. Really liking them and definitely recommend.

Since these are on the lower price end, I recommend not bumping/hitting them since cheap celestron definitely isn't the sturdiest when it comes to collamination. My pair have taken 2 decent drops but it's probably just luck that they're still collaminated.
Overall, they're good. If they aren't collaminated, just exchange them for another pair.
Ótica muito boa com pequena distorção esférica (nas bordas), mas nada que incomode (mesmo) e uma pequena distorção cromatica (muito pouco mesmo) - o que é esperado a não ser qur você pague mil dólares por um binóculo profissional ou telescópio. Isso em um binoculo de 695,00. Consegui ver estrelas binárias! (Acrux). Vale muito à pena!

Bien empaquetados y protegidos llegaron a mi puerta en solo 16 horas. Excelente colimación, buen funcionamiento mecánico (ningún detalle), buena óptica (el recubrimiento casi no refleja luz) y accesorios decentes (la bolsa y el adaptador funcionan; el strap para colgarlos parece broma). Representan un excelente valor dado el precio durante la más reciente promoción (de hecho más barato que en USA).
Al recibirlos, en los primeros 10 minutos de prueba pude observar las Pleyades, las Hyades, El cúmulo doble en Perseo y para mi sorpresa M31, con una extensión ligeramente mayor que en mi pequeño reflector de 4.5". Todo desde mi jardín en medio de la ciudad. El enfoque es preciso, el relieve ocular suficiente y cómodo, la aberración cromática es prácticamente inexistente con la posición ocular adecuada y dentro del 85-90% del campo de visión. A pesar de que no tengo mucho interés por la observación lunar, estos binoculares me están haciendo cambiar de opinión con su efecto casi tridimensional.
Son pesados y grandes. Para una sesión de observación casual puedes sostenerlos en tus manos unos pocos minutos. Si quieres estudiar los objetos en turno, necesitas un buen soporte. O bien un tripié fotográfico de buena calidad, sólido y que puedas subir hasta la altura de tus ojos, o un monopié para observar sentado. En mi caso lo he solucionado con una excelente base de micrófono para estudio y un adaptador bastante robusto que carga 3 kg.
Muy recomendables. Si los ves a buen precio no lo pienses, no te vas a arrepentir.
