7x35 binoculars are totally useless for astronomy. 35mm lenses don't have very much light gathering ability at 7x magnification. 7x is good for birdwatching, but isn't very good for astronomy. These are cheap birdwatching binoculars you can get at a local deparartment store for under $20.

The star charts & interactive astro software is free all over the internet.

For astronomy get at least 7x50 to 10x50 binoculars for under $50, & get your star charts for free from the internet, libraries, or schools.

I do like the Orion brand name & have bought many products from them, but don't ever by 7x35 binoculars for astronomy, & never pay more than $20 for them.

Why did I rate this so high? My grandaughter saw this set and really wanted it, so I, of course bought it for her. She hasn't stopped using it. She can identify most constellations, tell me what planets are visible, explain clusters and doubles and much more. All because of this crazy little set. She loves the software that came with it. My only complaint is I have to beat her to the computer because once she brings up "Starry Nights" it will be a few hours before I can use it. Best money I ever spent. I just love watching her fascination with astronomy.
