I purchased this binocular mainly for astronomical observation.Actually I was amazed from my first view. I realized that this is the bino I was looking for. It produces a crystal clear images...no any aberrations noted....I did many difficult huntings with the aid of a tripod...But you can do many observations without a tripod if you know the correct technique of bino grabbing..... So I highly recommend this binocular to any one....

I have 4 pairs of binoculars ans these are the best yet. If you want a great pair of binoculars that will cover almost any type of observation like astronomy, terrestrial observation, birds, planes well look no further. These are one of the biggest bang for the buck that Oberwerk as to offer.

This was my first toe into the waters of astronomy, and are actually my preference for general stargazing. Highly portable means that I can just take them with me anywhere, point, and observe. These can split some binaries, view Andromeda galaxy, Orion Nebula (2-3 stars of the trapezium), clusters, and also provide depth and upright images that telescopes and some spotting scopes can't. Even though these only weigh about 3 pounds, they are still too heavy to use without a tripod. Don't get me wrong...you can look at things without a tripod, but it jiggles a lot unless you lean over your car or lie back in a lawn chair. Competitive binos this size are much heavier, so these are a great option. Also come in a higher magnification with same aperture. I chose these due to the larger exit pupil that I can take all in (good eyes). All in all I am very pleased.
