They are Ok
By J. Haindel
Frankly, I was a little disappointed with these binoculars. There are raving reviews all over the net (just do a search) and maybe I was expecting too much. I will list what I think about this product:Dislike:1. Not so great clarity. Tree leaves at a distant are a little fuzzy compared to my more expensive binoculars.2. Flaring is pretty bad. Stars look like a glittering asterisk.3. Color fringing is really bad if you have significant back lighting.4. They reflect a great deal of foreground reflections in the viewing image. It is like looking at a projector screen on the large lens of any objects in the foreground.5. They are huge but that was not without surprise, but they are manageable.6. They little rubber cups on the eye end cut my nose after awhile. They are a little too stiff and have a sharp edge.7. You might want to be aware that these binoculars will not focus under 70'. Also it will cost you $20 plus shipping if you have a warranty problem. Amazon has a 30 day return policy without the $20 charge.Like1. I think they look high quality. I could not find any part that I thought was cheaply made. They actually look better than they work, in my opinion.2. They balance well, and, believe it or not, can easily be hand held steadily without the tripod although it won't take long for your arms to tire.3. The Barska support team is awesome. I had a spot on the large lens that turned out to be an oil drop. They helped me resolve the problem without a hassle. They were more than willing for me to return the product if it was deemed defective.4. The focus is wonderful. It is not too sensitive and you do not have to do a lot of jockeying with the focus wheel. It is also very smooth.5. The tripod mount works great and is easy to use.We are in the heat of summer right now and I am not sure if the heat currents are causing many of the image problems I described. I will try to add to this comment once we get into some cooler weather.

binoculars 20x80
By Ronald B. Carter
These are great binoculars for the money they have a good tripod mount and work well for Astronomy.The carrying case that comes with it is a little weak on quality,and I would suggest a good hard case with customizing foam inside to transport them. Otherwise they are fine for most people. I bought them for $99. from Amazon. I would recommend them based on the unit I received.

Good value for moon gazing
By Modern Blue Argonaut
I got these for my daughter to moon gaze and watch shuttle launches. I was very impressed with the brightness and clarity of images I saw when using these binoculars. They were very easy to mount on a tripod for a more stable image. Also, this was the lowest priced pair of 20x80's that I found. These are a lot easier to set up and use than our telescope and so far have been getting a lot of use.
