    WOW! Nice view of Jupiter and four moons

    WOW! Nice view of Jupiter and four moons
    After being very impressed by the tiny but mighty Athlon 10x25 compact binoculars, I just had to order a pair of these 12x50 - at the other extreme LOL.I haven't had a chance to use these in daytime conditions yet as the binoculars just arrived this evening. I couldn't wait to look through them so I took them out in the backyard for a quick look at the night sky and was able to see Jupiter (which appeared as a bright disk) and FOUR of its moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto which appeared as bright, pinpoints of light near Jupiter. It took me a minute to dial in the diopter setting but once it was dialed in WOW! The view was absolutely tack sharp and bright.As of the date of this review (Oct. 17, 2023) the current distance of Jupiter is about 373,266,442 miles and Europa is a mere 1,940 miles in diameter and the next largest moon, Io isn't much larger (at roughly 2,264 mi. in diameter) but they were both very CLEARLY visible points of light near Jupiter. That is impressive for a pair of handheld binoculars.As a side-by-side comparison, I grabbed my Nikon Monarch 7 (bought in 2015) and while I was also able to see Jupiter and the four moons, the view wasn't quite as bright or clear as the Athlons. Granted, the Athlon is a 12x50 and the Nikon is a 10x42 but the Athlons were definitely brighter and clearer. It takes significant engineering and manufacturing capability to make a 12x bino with large 50mm objective lenses that maintains a high level of clarity and resolution.As a side note, the 12x power binocular does have more shake than the 10x so it requires a steadier hand so that may rule these out for freehand birdwatching for me but on a tripod these would probably be great for longer range wildlife viewing.These are a bit heavy at about 2 lbs and they are longer and bulkier than my 10x42 Nikon (see photo for side-by-side comparison) which is the price paid for the greater magnification and wider objective lenses but they are not unreasonably big and bulky.Just keep in mind, these are probably a bit too heavy for hiking, but that's where the tiny Athlon 10x25 comes in handy :)
