            Comments about Vixen 10x50mm Ascot Super Wide Astronomy Binoculars:

            Great for the money! The only thing that's slightly annoying is how difficult it is to turn the right eye focuser. Mine is a little stiff and hard to judge focus change while viewing. Not a big deal though. If you're like me and each eye is a slightly different near-sighted prescription, it'll take a little fussin' with it.

            Overall very satisfied!

              Comments about Vixen 10x50mm Ascot Super Wide Astronomy Binoculars:

              Bought these as a starting point for doing some star gazing and they work great especially given the price point. It seems like with astronomy binoculars you're either going spend about $200 for a pair or $1,000+; there's not a lot of mid-range going on for 8x50+. I chose the lower range and wasn't disappointed, these really make the stars pop out nicely.

                I have been using these to scan the night sky while I am imaging with my telescope; the perfect companion instrument. The images are bright, clear and wide.

                Good binoculars for wide angle view of night sky. Not great for observing planets, moon, etc. Telescope or high power (80x20 or 100x25)binoculars preferred.
