    Used them for the eclipse and they worked very well. I was able to see all phases of the eclipse. I could clearly see the corolla. The binoculars were very easy to adjust and use.

    The August 2017 eclipse was a joy to see, using these I felt safe enough to look directly at it for a few moments. This are not your regular binoculars.

    They definitely work however it’s hard to point them at the sun when everything is pitch black while looking through them.

    I purchased this binocular for the eclipse, since I lived in Oregon. It was a terrific way to view the eclipse. Passed it around people during the eclipse and everyone was surprised how well they could see the sun. Because of the 10x42 magnification, you can see the larger sun and even see sun spots! Since the eclipse, I've used the binoculars to view the sun. Well made and satisfied with this purchase. I feel that my eyes are safely protected.

    Worked well for the eclipse, but they don't convert to regular binoculars, so you can't use them for anything else.
