Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm sure these are terrific to have on hand FOR A SOLAR ECLIPSE. They are not regular binoculars. One use only: during an eclipse. Soooooo the next total solar eclipse that can be seen from the contiguous United States will be on Aug. 23, 2044. Yay I'll hold onto these $70 gems so my grandchildren can see the corona. Cool I guess. Kinda like toaster tongs. A one trick wonder. Wish someone would have said something. I didn't think binocs would be made for a once-in-a-century event???

Great product, it works as expected, nice optical quality, you can see the sun perfectly, I would say that this is better than a telescope because you can see it with both eyes, and also much easier to carry.

Worked really well for seeing the ring of fire eclipse. It also works well for seeing sunspots, which is really cool. It does take about a minute to find the sun though.

These are nice 10x solar binoculars for eclipse only. Cannot be used for other celestial or terrestial viewing because of the heavy dark internal filters. You see the full sun through white filters. The strap is thin and will cut into the neck, so you will need to buy a wider neck strap or harness. I did see a small sunspot several weeks ago. After the eclipse, there may not be much use, however, if you own a telescope with a solar filter, these might be nice to spot check the sun for solar activity before you set up your scope. There is also another total eclipse coming through the South and Midewest in 2024, and these can be used again. Be nice if Celestron made the binocs orange to differentiate between non-solar binocs for safety purposes. Never look directly at the sun without proper solar glasses or filter.

Worked perfectly. Did its intended job and was really cheap

These are a great white light option for solar viewing. It’s difficult to make out much prominence detail but it is possible with patience and a steady hand. Great value for the price, best used with a rest or pole. Serious solar observers should opt for the next larger version.

Perfect product to view planet Sun and dark spot of sun, only draw back is you can view only Sun not for any other use.

Bought these to watch rocket launches off the Florida coast. Gives a nice clear picture, and the large lenses pick up a good deal of light at night. Highly recommended!

I got these binoculars Friday evening prior to the eclipse 10/14 and they are ideal and excellent for viewing the sun . Light weight , comfortable and there were no clouds so the sun was very bright. Glad I got these for the eclipse in April 2024

Awesome! Got to see the total eclipse in Erie PA. 12 times the size of regular solar filter glasses. Highly recommend!

This made for a memorable experience of the recent solar eclipse. Made us feel safe and comfortable.

Exceeded expectations. Sun looks like a big blue ball. You can even see sunspots. Cool gift to give.

These solar binoculars are for solar only viewing. They provide a smallish 10x view of the Sun with a non-removable white light solar filter. Will work for the Total eclipse event but don't expect to see small Sun spots with them on the Sun's surface.

I was easily able to find and view the April 8th Solar Eclipse.

Perfect for the annular eclipse. Can't wait to use them for the total eclipse in April '24, and for sunspot watching at any point.

I love my purchase and if you are going to ball, then ball hard! These are great for seeing Sunspot activity. However, these are binoculars for looking at the sun. So how do you maximize your value? Get your friends to chip in. Have a local homeowners association? Great have them buy a solar binocular and then make it so that during the 3 hour path you swap the binoculars

Used these to view the annular eclipse. Great viewing.

I bought two binoculars. A 10x25 and this 10x42. And this particular one had a misalignment on the right one. I managed watching eclipse with one eye. :-)

Easy to use, and do wath it was advertised to do, I will use it to see sun when camping.

I bought these binoculars because the sun cycle is at it's peak activity. Have not had a chance to use them yet. Too cloudy here at this time.
