Product Description
These refreshingly affordable astronomical binoculars will gobble up photons from night-sky objects without eating through your wallet. With big 70mm objective lenses and 15-power magnification, our new Orion 15x70 Astro-Binocular is an excellent choice for those looking for bright, high-power views of the night sky. See the moons of Jupiter, craters and mountains of the Moon, and hundreds of deep sky objects from dark skies. These big binoculars are also great for chasing open star clusters, even from less than inky-black urban skies. Light transmission through the 15x70 Astro-Binocular and view contrast is optimized by virtue of high quality BAK-4 prisms, fully multi-coated optics, and internal baffling. Eyeglass wearers can enjoy the view through these affordable performers without removing their corrective lenses, thanks to a luxurious 18mm eye relief. Foldable eyeguards provide helpful protection from distracting peripheral light sources, and they conveniently fold down for comfortable use with eyeglasses.

They are usable for a bit even without a tripod, when I "stabilized" them on the window's glass - I was in awe.
I did expect the magnification, but not optical quality for this price - I found them to be quite nice, with crisp details in the center and little chromatic aberrations.
However, these binoculars are very heavy! You are certainly not going to hold them up for more than a few minutes. Laying down with them would be fine and using a telescoping support or tripod would be awesome. Also, if you are star hopping – you will want a pair of 7x50 or 10x50 binoculars for larger FOV scanning.
Lastly, there is a concern with these that they arrive with the internal lens jarred off alignment from shipping vibrations. We were prepared for that when we ordered them and were delighted to discover they arrived in beautiful alignment. They were snugly packed in 5 inches of shipping foam within their box.
These binoculars will be wonderful for bird/animal lovers also – giving you much more satisfying close-ups than 7x or 10x units.
the binocular was not that heavy , but it's really shaky , it is difficult to hold still , I haven't tried it with a tripod yet,
how easy it's gonna be looking through the binocular while on a tripod ? that is a matter I have to find out .
i have attached a photo , the little tripod was not included (its mine)
Second review after few month: the main issue is culmination , i see everything double . The only wsy i can use it is by blocking one eye piece.
I wonder if the provider will change or fix it for me ?
Ive attached a photo i took using this binoculars with my s8 samsung mobile phone.

Materiali di qualità e non pesa così tanto, anche se con il treppiedi è tutta unaltra cosa.
Arrivato in 5 giorni invece che in 10-20 e perfettamente imballato.
Lo consiglio assolutamente
Por lo que respecta a la empresa ORION manifestar sus desvelos de que el producto llegara bien y que fuere de mi absoluto agrado.
Con respecto a las ópticas,nada q decir,nitidez y claridad en observar la luna y casi distinguir los anillos de Saturno,con trípode, claro está.
En definitiva buena compra y la calidad excelente para el precio que tiene.
Yo me lo compraría de nuevo,no defraudará...
