Celestron Ultima Dx 9X63 Binocular

 (10 customer reviews)

I have used these binoculars for nearly two months now, under varying conditions. Mostly for astronomy. I have found them exceptional in clarity, with no distortions or abherrations that I could detect. I have also been using these aboard a boat for searching channel markers and lights...they are absolutely unexcelled used in that function.

Although not petite, they are very comfortable and easily held for extended periods , even for my wife who is no weight-lifter.

Dollar for dollar I rank these equal to some binoculars I have used that cost twice as much. The case and strap are cheap crap, but that is small payment for the excellence of the instrument itself.

I really have to take issue with the reviewer who claimed that all Celestron products are crap. That is a blanket statement that just doesn't hold water. No doubt he had a bad experience and is unhappy, but as a life-long binos lover and owner of 3 different pairs of Celestron binos, I could not disagree more!

I know my binos and wouldn't spend money on a bad maker 3 separate times. I also own other brands including Pentax, Nikon, Leupold and Olympus. My Celestrons are the equal of any of them. I'm not interested in Swarovski's and Leica's at all; it totally offends my sensibilities to think of blowing a grand or 2 on a pair of binos... It's nothing short of silly for most people to do so, especially in light of the terrific performance and value these "next tier down" brands deliver! Times are tough: be smart and save your money.

Roof prism binos are my favorite. I own the 10x28 Celestron Noble, which is quite likely the best compact 10x bino for the money. Just...Read more

I bought this product for my husband for star-gazing. It is great for a neophyte astronomer. Well made, good instructions and not too heavy. It is also tripod adaptable, which was important to me when I selected it. I did well! Any movement is significant when dealing with such distances. So, after trying it out, we did immediately buy a celestron tripod and the attachment for a binocular, and now my husband is extremely happy.
