 Excellet quality for the price Mar 10, 2006
By James M. Barna
Unbelievable quality for the price. These are the brightest and most powerful pair I could find well within my price range. Beware though, they are almost too powerful. So much so that they are hard to hold steady. We use them here on the coast to look out to the horizon. They're probably not what you want for bird watching in your back yard. I bought a second pair for my son's boat.

 Galileo 20x60 : Amazing Value for money Mar 26, 2007
By Debangshu Manna
"Amateur Astronomer"
This binocular is great!! Although the magnification is little overkill compared to its aperture. It is great for terrestrial viewing. View of Moon is fabulous. I tried to spot Orion Nebula. I could spot it but I couldn't see any clouds. Actually I hardly see the nebula cloud with my 4" telescope also. Tripod is a must in order to use this binocular. It is compact. Maybe 15x70 is a better buy for more wide field viewing of night sky. You really don't need 20x to view deep sky objects. Rather you need low magnification (wide view) and bigger aperture. Still at $70 it is a great buy! I am very happy.

Just what I wanted! Apr 05, 2007
By Roger Deforest
I picked up these binoculars refurbished for $50. What a great deal! They have replaced my not-so-old Bushells. I am very happy with the feel of them as well as the depth and clarity. Definitely need a tripod adapter when trying to view the heavens. That's next on my list!

Very Good High Power Binoculars! Recommended! Feb 03, 2009
By C. F. Hill
"CFH"
We did a lot of research into various small telescopes and binoculars before deciding to buy the "Galileo 20x60 Binoculars". We already own Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars w/Tripod Adapter and the Galileo 20x60 is very close in optic quality. The SkyMaster has a larger Field of Vision and are slightly clearer, but the Galileo is a higher power. With either of these binoculars and a good monopod, we are now ready to view both terrestrial events and stargazing in just a few minutes.
Here are my observations:
Pros:
Clear Optics
Crisp Focusing (no "bounce" or drift at all)
Built In Tripod Mount (must use with binoculars this powerful)
Very Inexpensive For Binoculars of This Quality
Cons:
Large Size (these are fairly big, as expected, so you will need a tripod/monopod for extended use)
Overall, the Galileo 20x60 are a great pair of binoculars for the price, Recommended!

great buy Jan 27, 2007
By Peggy J. Parish
These binoculars are one of the best items I have ever purchased. They are great for viewing objects at great distances. I can count the points on a buck deer from a quarter mile away with no problem. The craters on the moon look so close you think you could touch them. If all you want binoculars for is viewing sports activies and concerts, then these are probably not for you. These are very powerful binoculars and therefore not suited to short range usage (probably less than one hundred yards) They are very lightweight for their power. If I do have any dissapointment in these binoculars it is that they do not have provision to mount them to a tripod. With the 20x power of the glasses, holding them steady on small or very distant objects is sometime difficult. All in all, these binoculars are a very good choice and a good value for the money.
