I've owned a pair for several years, and think that they're great. I've never star tested them, but stars come out pinpoint sharp, focuser is great. I disagree with the previous reviewer that they're for previewing before moving on to a scope: they're much better than that. They've got a 6.5 degree field of view, while most scopes have 1.5 degree or less (depending on how much magnification you're using). So they can see much wider things than scopes can see, like m31, which is more than 7 degrees wide (and is consequently dark and boring in a scope). Nice 50mm lenses for light collection.

The orion UltraView 10x50 wide-angle binocular is great for pre-viewing and locating the stars prior to viewing then with a telescope. Also, great with the solar filters.

Great set of binoculars. Purchased these because they will work with our without glasses. Purchased for star viewing and they work great. Very clear viewing and easy to adjust for clarity.

I have compared these binoculars with several others that I own, including an inexpensive pair of 10x50's. I did not expect to see as much difference between my old binoculars and the Orion Ultraview as I found. There really is a considerable difference when you buy a quality product. I am getting great views of star clusters, Jupiter's moons and craters on earth's moon. There may be better binoculars out there, but these certainly meet my needs and I feel I got my money's worth.
