With that much extra light-gathering power, these are ideal for a low-cost entry into binocular astronomy. They are also excellent for birding, nautical applications, and surveillance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oberwerk 12X60mm Binoculars, November 27, 2008

By	Mark L. Schrotberger "Research Fanatic on-line" (SF Bay Area) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wanted an all around binocular for day and at night with the stars. This is good quality, and not too big to carry around your neck. Nice and bright in the daytime. To get good a view of the stars, you really need a tripod. Nice eye relief also.
