CELESTRON COMETRON 7X50

I could straight away marvel at the night sky as I could see so many many stars and star clusters through this binocular which are truly hard to see with naked eye. Best binocular for less than 5k. I purchased on Amazon through SLT retailer who did not provide Celestron branded neck strap. Better to buy with some other seller.

Celestron Cometron 7x50 is a good option for people who want to get started on star gazing with minimum cost and equipment. It does not compromise on build quality, optics, and coating as far as the casual observer can make out. It is light enough to be held in the hands without much shaking. More importantly, it is handy enough to grab casually whenever you fancy, so it has less chance of gathering dust in an almirah. It allows you to see a number of stars normally hidden by too much ambient light in cities. The large objective lens is unique among binoculars of this size and price range. Before buying, it is necessary to adjust ones expectations: it will not show you Saturn's rings. Stars and planets are visible as dots of light. It is meant to see more stars - not more detail. Planets being closer, do show some fuzziness and trails - this set is not meant to have perfect optics of the more expensive binoculars. One must be prepared to make an effort to collimate to adjust both eyes properly. It has good enough resolution to watch terrestrial features, but for something like bird-watching a higher magnification might be useful. The Celestron upClose series might help. To conclude, it is a great start to learn how to navigate the night sky. Once you can identify most of the major objects and orient yourself without needing an app, then might be the time to go for something more expensive.

I'm a starter into star gazing and the moment I saw the constellations through the binocular, I realised I was right into buying this. This is for Noobies who have just ventured into star gazing. You can see all the constellations and it's stars clearly ( stars not visible to naked eye can be seen). No you cannot see Jupiter or Saturn as seen in pictures. They are visible as a red spot and a yellow spot. Buy 50x7 for astronomy for its exit pupil. Because of its reduced weight as compared to big binoculars you can use it for longer durations at a stretch. Perfect combination at perfect price. Go for it if your conditions meet the above.

My Cometron 7x50 got a blackspot on the inside on the left barrel just 2 days after delivery. The spot is on the inside as it doesn't go away even after cleaning both the objective lens and eyepiece multiple times. The quality is definitely cheap given the price range, but disappointed that it started to degrade this quick.

A great product. Excellent visibility and lens focus. The view from the binoculars was great as I was able to see the craters of the moon as well from it. It covers a long range as well and we were able to see far sighted objects quite clearly as well. Worth the price

Definitely worth the money spent. I use it for star gazing and the light is more defined when seen through the binoculars, celestial bodies that are not visible to the naked eye can be clearly seen. Very good for beginners, comes as one piece, and very easy to use.

Good product for the price, compact pack. the instructions pamphlet is good enough for a start. There is slight aberration during night viewing but still have to use it more to give a proper feedback. So far go good.

The item received has a hairline crack on body and the left lens was not in proper position
