I bought these binoculars and took them out for the first time kayaking at the bioluminescent Bay here in Florida and we got surprised by a rocket launch happening and just a few miles away…I wasn’t really expecting to use them but my first experience using them was pretty epic! It was a clear night anyways but being able to view them through there was quite the high light. Light weight ,compact, clear, and waterproof are all the things I was looking for in binoculars. They’re great
