Got this for my brother as a cheap accessory for night sky observing. He reports it works quite well and he gets good views with it. He's not real picky about optics, though he is a very accomplished observer.  It's a relatively stubby and compact design. So for a cheap pair of binoculars that you won't get upset about if you knock it out of alignment or lose it, this appears to be a good value. One of the lens caps was cracked when I received it, but they get lost anyway. Nice that it comes with a soft case and basic straps.
