Question 1

is this suitable for children .

Accepted Answer

Hi,

In my opinion, it depends on the age of the child.  If they want something basic to see things a little larger and with a smaller and possibly easier to hold set of binoculars, then possibly check out some simple alternatives.  If however they are more in the teens all the way to young adults et al, then this is a great set of binoculars as it has individual eye relief / shields on both ocular lenses (where you look through) so as to help different people with different focal points (somewhat akin to some people needing different types of glasses).

It also has a good individual focus wheel on the right eyepiece which helps a lot with adjusting the focus on an object to suit differing people after you have used the central main central focus wheel - sort of plug and play with the main focus and trim with the right side objective lens focus wheel.

It is important to adjust the position of the two halves of the binoculars in order to get the best image (i prefer it to look almost like one single image as opposed to having it set wider to get two circular images (its about letting the brain do the focus/combining of the image I believe)...

Anyway, with all these different adjustments any competent adult could set it up and let a child look through and adjust as required....again depending on age.

Hope it helps

Question 2

Can these be used to view stars/planets etc? Nothing serious, just a for a child

Accepted Answer

NO these are not powerful enough. you need a telescope.

Question 3

What is the field of vision range, Is it suitable for viewing birds in my garden about 10 m away?

Accepted Answer

Although I haven't other binoculars to gauge against, I'd say that these binoculars are excellent for a 10m range.. which is exactly what I'm using them for.. absolute bargain

Question 4

Are these ok for Astronomy i.e. can you get pin point stars?

Accepted Answer

These are good binoculars and I'm pleased with them, but they are not for stargazing, you will need something much more powerful.
