I recently purchased a set of Andews 12x60 binoculars.
The quality seems fine, but im suprised by how much i shake and how difficult it can be to keep the Object in view steady.
Last night was the first clear night since i purchased them, so gave them a good try.
Jupiter and her moons can be clearly seen, but you need to have your arms well supported to stop them from jumping around.
I also find it very difficult to look at anything near the zenith without a crick in my neck !!

Maybe you need to be lying down ?

The most use i get from them is to being able to quickly scan the sky and spot something that might be of interest to look at in more detail and more steadily with my dob
