What we liked
- + 25x magnification shows Saturn's shape and more lunar detail than lower-power pairs
- + Multi-coated optics help contrast when viewing faint targets
- + Useful for long-distance terrestrial viewing across valleys and water
Trade-offs
- - High power with 70mm lenses gives a dimmer, narrower view than lower-power pairs
- - Handheld use is impractical, so a tripod is essentially required
