25x100 Object Detail

Hi

My question is how much details we can actually see with a zhumell Tachyon 25x100 binoculars. I am already using a pentax 16x25 binos, they are very small but give good imaage of moon and handy for stargazing.
Are we actually able to see saturn, mars and jupiter with them?

Thanx for your cooperation

Hi

Wrong application for any astronomy binocular. For planets, you need the magnification provided by telescopes or by an astronomy binocular which can use telescope eyepieces. 25x won't cut it for planets. Astronomy binoculars are about clusters, nebulae and even some galaxies, but not planets.
