In our Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50 review, we rated them four out of five stars and, thanks to the extra-low dispersion glass (that is what the 'ED' stands for), the views were bright and sharp especially at dusk and night. This makes them an excellent contender for your next pair of skywatching binoculars.

✅ Buy it if Chromatic aberration gets on your nerves—you will not find any here! They are suitable for wildlife watching, stargazing and backyard bird spotting—what more could you want?
❌ Don't buy it if: You want in-body image stabilization. Although these binoculars are tripod adaptable to steady your view, you might want to opt for a pair that has it built in for rock-steady viewing. One example would be the Canon 10x42L IS WP, though be prepared to pay top dollar.
