Outdated Product
An astronomical binocular with 20x magnification and 80mm objective lenses. This device performs excellently in dark conditions for observing celestial objects. The optical design of the Konus Giant 20x80 binocular follows the classic Porro scheme. The optical elements (prisms and lenses) are fully multi-coated, providing a high-quality bright image with excellent color rendition even in very low light. The device's construction allows for vision impairment compensation through a diopter correction mechanism, adjustment of the interpupillary distance, and focus adjustment by rotating the central drum. The binoculars' body is made of quality plastic, resistant to scratches and fingerprints. There is a central mount allowing the optical device, weighing 2.5 kg, to be installed on a tr...ipod for prolonged observations. The package includes a case for safe storage and transport of the binoculars, protective caps for the lenses, and a strap.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Konus Giant 20x80 binoculars are highly praised for their excellent performance in stargazing, making them ideal for beginners looking to delve into astronomy. With a 20x magnification and 80mm aperture, they gather ample light to view celestial objects like the Andromeda galaxy, star clusters, and some nebulae effectively. The binoculars are made of high-quality plastic, providing a durable and comfortable grip, although they are somewhat heavy, necessitating the use of a tripod for steady observation. The optics are fully coated, delivering a 10 out of 10 image quality, though slight chromatic aberration is noted during daytime use. The mechanics are described as tight, which can be challenging in cold weather, but overall, the binoculars are considered a worthwhile investment for those passionate about observing the night sky.

My best purchase since the telescope. Happy as an elephant.

Great binoculars that introduced me to a new way of observing space. The 20x magnification fits perfectly with the 80mm aperture. The lens collects enough light for light deep sky (andromeda, star clusters, some nebulae) to be seen quite well. The planets are visible, but I won’t say that it’s really good. Jupiter saw, Saturn too. The moon is understandable, there are no problems here, you can see craters (not all natural), and seas. These binoculars open up when you leave the city, and you begin to observe the Milky Way. It’s simply gorgeous to see, and you can see not just stars, you can see the white canvas, colors, and clusters of stars. The binoculars themselves are made of plastic. It fits perfectly in the hand, but for such an aperture it weighs quite a bit. Be prepared that you will have to take a tripod, as observing from hand is difficult. The mechanics are tight, but in moderation, comfortable eyecups do not interfere. The materials are high quality. It does not scratch, leaves no fingerprints, and is a pleasure to use. The optics are coated, all of them. During the day the image is contrasty, but of course the chromaticism is present, slight, but it is there. It is especially noticeable, for example, on white satellite dishes, as they are usually the brightest) I am very pleased with the binoculars. It's definitely worth the money and has brought me a lot of stargazing pleasure. Of course, it is also suitable for observing neighbors, but its element is space, the moon, etc. This is not a telescope, no, but believe me, I would rather look through binoculars like these than through a budget telescope.
He proved himself to be excellent at night when observing the stars. Suitable for initial deepening. The optics are coated, all of them. Although it is plastic, it is made of high-quality plastic, there are no complaints. Image quality 10 out of 10. Very fast.
Tight mechanics. It’s just that in the summer it doesn’t matter at all. And in the cold season, it’s hard to twist with frozen fingers.
