Wow!!!!!! My wife got me some stabilized binoculars last year for my birthday, and this was the first time I saw Jupiter like this! I could see the moons clear as day (three of them) and I swear I was on the cusp of seeing the bands on Jupiter!

Wow!

“Wow!!!!!! My wife got me some stabilized binoculars”

Now listen son, do not, I repeat DO NOT, use Alkaline batteries in that unit. Use Lithium batteries, like these, assuming they come in the size you need (they come in AA, AAA, and 9V):

A while ago I read reviews on your type of instrument and the biggest problem, by far, was leakage of the battery cells ruining the device (and at least one company not willing to fix them or do anything to help their buyers). Lithium batteries don’t leak, alkalines, of course do leakage.

Those binoculars sound AMAZING, I’m getting very tempted too!
