    4 moons of Jupiter!
    Haven’t tried the tripod adapter, but looks solid. When propped I could see 4 moons of Jupiter! I could also read the “John Deere 318” off my neighbor’s mower at over 1200 ft, that is almost 1/4 mile! (Not a pic through the lens, just a stock image) Detail of the moon is spectacular.Measurements/ Dimensions provided in the pictures. Yes, the image is shaky if you aren’t very steady, but at 16x that should be expected.Focus is sharp and smooth. Weight is not bad at all. You don’t pick them up and notice anything different from any other pair by weight. The grip and feel is great. Able to focus closer than expected.Cons: diopter adjustment is crazy tight. Lens caps are terrible. Especially the eye piece cover. Easily falls off. Will either need an elastic band to hold it, or replacement covers.
