I am new to astronomy ( have never owned astronomy binoculars....yet)
and have been looking around and would like to know, what one is better
the Zhumell or Celestron 20X80, Both seem to have great reviews but I
can't decide what one I should get..... Keep in mind if it turns out
that they are the same or that Zhumell is better I would probably get
the Zhumell package
which is about $30 more then what the Celestron alone cost and includes
a pretty good tripod( I think).... I do own a tripod but its probably
10yrs old and only costs about $15-$20 so the Zhumell package sounds
pretty good to me but just wanted to know if the Celestron have some
advantage over the Zhumell.
Any info is appreciated. Removed competitor link. Edited by tahqua - March/26/2012 at 19:56 |

This is a binoculars forum that is mainly geared towards hunting.
Here's a quick mini-review from a Zhumell customer. Here's a link for astronomy binoculars: Be sure and look in the classifieds section under binoculars.

Head over to cloudynights.com and ask on that forum. There are some very experienced amateur astronomers there that could help out.
