I was drooling over this pair of binoculars over at Amazon tonight, and thought I'd come here and see if anyone had posted any footage from theirs. Sure enough, there you are!
The clarity through just one lens, taken with an old camcorder, and taking into account the degradation of video quality just through the uploading process itself has been enough to sell me on this pair 100%. Thank you so much for taking the time to upload this video! Maybe Celestron will give you a commission! LOL!!
@elophan10538 Cheers! It is zoomed in quite a bit on the camera. The binos by themselves don't get that close, but you can see the craters very very clearly. I have been really happy with them. One thing that will be helpful is a tripod. The binoculars are heavy, and very very difficult to hold still. They aren't good for just doing handheld stuff. A tripod would be a fantastic investment, if you don't have one already. Aside from that, they have been fantastic! :D
@StevenErnest Hey hey! Thanks Steven :D I am trying out different techniques to capture, and share some of the amazing things that are in the sky this time of yr. I haven't had any luck getting any images off my telescope yet, but working on it. I would love to capture Jupiter before its too far gone this year. Also want to try and capture The Great Orion Nebula, and M45 before its too cold . So far the old Sony, and binoculars have given me anything at all to share lol. Thanks for watching :D
@crazycat1984 A few summers ago I borrowed a friend's telescope... it was amazing to see Jupiter, the faint cloud stripes, and three moons. And then Saturn and those rings! It is one thing to see them all your life in books -- but to actually see these sites at night in your backyard...! And the details of the Moon...! What is cool, is how you have to keep realigning the view as we are rotating. I'm saving up to get a telescope of my own. Would be great to see Orion Nebula! ^_^
@StevenErnest Absolutely! Telescopes are a blast! For stargazing I prefer binoculars. I find you can see a lot more of the sky and its much easier to locate things. For things like the moon, and planets....definitely prefer the telescope lol. Although, with a good set of 10x50 binoculars, you can faintly see Jupiter's moons. I find I get more use out of my binoculars. They are easy to bring around to places, and really brighten up the objects in the sky. I'd say getting both is a great thing! :D
Nice! Put some melancholy classical music audio and you'll have a winner! Cheers!

Pretty cool. The tape flickers makes it feel like old Apollo footage. ^_^
