I will share my review of this wonderful binocular telescope after a year of use. 1) The Moon. Absolute absence of chromatic aberration. The occultation of Venus by the Moon low above the horizon at 188x is the most fantastic thing I have seen in a long time. 2) Jupiter. I saw the Great Red Spot for the first time! And of course, more detail in the belts and even a hint of festoons. 3) Saturn. 6 satellites are visible versus 2 compared to the 100 bino version 4) M42 in addition to the Orion trapezoid, the F star is also visible. And large wings, but without color. 5) Star clusters: 20% more stars are visible compared to the 100 bino version. I will also note that in order to observe the planets and the Moon at high magnifications, good collimation is needed. And this instrument allows the user to achieve it without violating the hermetic seal on the part of the lenses. Below I attach the tools that will allow you to do this. Thanks, Sky Rover!
March 2025: I bought the Sky Rover 100 APO BINO with the stock 18 mm eyepieces and bought a second set of 7 mm UWA eyepieces in January of this year. I own an Astro Physics refractor and I know what optical quality is. I am quite happy with the performance of this Binocular Telescope and they truly are APO quality binoculars. Bright objects like Venus or the moon do not show color fringes at all. The field is fairly flat and watching Jupiter transit the field the image stays sharp. The two cloud bands show up quite well in the 7s and you can see the polar regions are shaded. 80 power is not enough for Mars, but I could see the polar cap and Syrtus Major when Mars was closer back in January. I also watched the Occultation of Mars with a pair of 11 Naglers, 50X, and it was very nice in the instrument. To conclude, the 45 degree eyepiece configuration is perfect and the eyepieces are of decent quality. I quite like them. I will put them to good use studying the sky. I consider this to be money well spent. The binoculars weigh 16 lbs or 7.26 kg. The shipping case is great and has a lot of room inside it and it is adequate to protect the binoculars in transit. But it is a bit large. I already had a Pelican 1600 case and the binoculars fit in with only a few cm to spare in the length of the binoculars. The case is shorter by 4" in width and 1" in height and 1" in thickness. This case is a better fit for carrying the binoculars around or stowing away in my car. I would not ship the binoculars in it, but it is more compact. I thank Sky Rover for their nice product. 2025/03/05
Ordinato e arrivato in 20 giorni in Italia e ho dovuto pagare la dogana, oculare imponente e ben costruito, ottimo assemblaggio non c'è il minimo corpo estraneo all'interno. Provato sul mio 120ED / 900 e appena ci ho messo l'occhio sono rimasto meravigliato, a parte il campo immenso, e ben corretto, nessuna aberrazione cromatica se non proprio sul bordo, estrazione pupillare comoda per chi porta gli occhiali, le stelle sono puntiformi fino al bordo, nessun problema di parallasse o immagini fantasma. Nel mio 120ED sviluppa 45 ingrandimenti e copre un'area quasi come un oculare da 30mm e 82° e restituisce immagini di ampi campi stellari ben definiti su cielo scuro. Super consigliato!
I have been observing celestial objects for a long time using 70-150mm aperture BT binoculars manufactured by Skyrover. Recently, I had the opportunity to use the SRBC 10X42 binoculars. While I have experienced optical performance in the large BT series that surpasses most Japanese BT models, excluding Kowa, I was surprised to find such outstanding optical performance in a roof prism binocular.
When compared to the Leica Noctivid 10X42, it is clear that Leica has superior build quality and assembly precision, such as alignment of the barrels and the quality of the peripheral image. However, I believe that most users new to binoculars who compare the two side by side would say that the SRBC "seems to provide a better view."
In practice, the SRBC 10X42 outperformed the Noctivid in both daytime and nighttime brightness, and its chromatic aberration control was also superior. The sharpness of the central image is comparable, and the sharpness at the edges is either on par or slightly better in the SRBC 10X42. The only area where the Noctivid, a top-tier German binocular, excels optically is in its control of stray light and ghosting. Personally, I also prefer Leica's color rendition. However, in terms of pure optical performance, I believe that at least Leica has been matched within the European trio of brands.
If your company could further improve the assembly quality of your small-aperture binoculars and add user-enjoyable options like a 'magnification booster,' I believe you could genuinely compete on an equal footing with the European trio of brands.
The binoculars are simply amazing! They don’t yield to top-tier analogs that cost a lot of money. A vast, even field from edge to edge.
The sun went down about half an hour ago. I couldn't wait anymore so went to the balcony for some observing despite the presence of thick clouds all over the sky. First in the view was Venus. A boiling hot planet that resembled a miniature moon in shape. I used a WilliamOptics transparent Bahtinov mask to tweak the focus positions of the oculars. Now in perfect focus, Venus looked beautiful in the view but at a mere 47x there was no surface detail whatsoever to be discerned. Next was the moon. Oh what a beauty! Every crater, big or small, was rendered clearly and beautifully. The bigger craters had dark shadows that the sun cast on them. There's not a trace of CA anywhere. Swinging the bino aimlessly around to look for some stars, I did stumble upon just a handful of them. All were round dots. The SkyRover is definitely a keeper. (Its optical quality far exceeds that of my APM 100mm SD BT which is now in serious danger of being offloaded.)
Fascinated by this little helper. The purest optics, compact appearance, image free of aberrations) The collimation error this time is small and only appeared at 114x magnification. Which I quickly corrected thanks to the acquired collimation skills
Out of curiosity on Jun 28 I ordered these from Sky Rover. Fast shipping to my home here in Florida, less than 10 days. They were nicely packaged in a plain brown box with adequate packaging material. First thoughts as I took them out of their soft case, very impressed. Solid Feel, Visually and Cosmetically … not a flaw I could see. They ooze with quality, not a scratch or smudge. Their black color, along with their leather appearance looks flawless. The lookalike leather really does look real. No mention on these anywhere that these are China sourced, just a very long serial number. If these were shown to a novice buyer who had little to none binocular experience, I feel I could easily pass these off as being made in Japan or Europe. Their build Quality(look) is that good, at least the pair I received. Now for their handling/optics. Looking into their oculars/objectives … squeaky clean. Glass coating with no imperfections that we could see. Both barrels impressively darken. Focuser perfect not to stiff, just to my liking. The Optical view, as stated by my better half … I can not believe how crisp/bright and sharp they are.
Awesome - so fast - so reliable. Highly recommend. Always use the approved shop. Very very happy. A very positive result.
Thank you for your prompt response.
Optical test OK.
Well, I'm looking forward to seeing how many times I can do my best.
I started with the 15x56 and was extremely impressed so decided to order the 8x42 for the impressive FOV and I've been very happy with both sets. As long as skyrover continues STRINGENT quality control and upholds their lifetime warranty I'll continue to buy from them. I'm excited for the rumored "pocket binoculars" and look forward to their release.
Un ocular maravilloso. Vistas de Júpiter increíbles (gran contraste de sus bandas) con un gran campo de visión. Mecánicamente muy bien construido. Comunicación con Sky Rover Optics exquisita. Lo recomiendo sin dudar.
Estoy impresionado tanto por la calidad óptica como por la calidad mecánica de este ocular. Está al nivel de oculares top que cuestan el triple. La comunicación con Sky Rover Optics inmejorable. Gracias!
