Description

The Celestron SkyMaster 25x70mm binocular is the ideal choice for amateur astronomers or anyone who observes at great distances. The 70mm objective lenses have excellent light-gathering capabilities, delivering superior low- light performance, even in the dimmest conditions. Choose SkyMaster for dusk, dawn, and nighttime astronomical viewing. Moreover, the prisms inside the binocular are made of high-quality BaK-4 glass so that more light is reflected off their internal faces and passes through to the eye. The multi-coated lenses and BaK-4 prisms maximize light transmission for remarkably bright, highly detailed images. The binocular's durable exterior housing protects your SkyMaster from damage without weighing you down. Viewing through the SkyMaster binoculars is comfortable for eyeglass and non-eyeglass wearers, thanks to the foldable rubber eyecup. The SkyMaster binocular is tripod-adaptable, so you can use the built-in binocular tripod adapter to mount it on any standard photographic tripod or monopod for extended viewing or digiscoping (photography through the eyepiece). Buy with confidence from the world’s No.1 telescope brand and a leading binocular manufacturer, based in California since 1960. You’ll also receive a Limited Lifetime warranty and unlimited access to technical support from our team of US-based experts.

  • Great set of Binoculars! If you've got the viewing space, these definitely work.
Style: SkyMaster 15x70
**TLDR** Perfect pair for beginners or general enthusiasts, for the price listed. Easily view objects up to a ~mile away. Easy to use focal adjustments. Good weight. They look pretty decent. Arrived within 12 hours of purchase. Happy and recommended. *** Being honest: I am no expert on optics. I love stargazing and birdwatching (doves, hawks, etc.) since the area I live in provides me with plenty of both, despite being a fairly developed township. I get a GREAT view of the moon & [some] stars in my tiny "courtyard" of a yard, and I've always always always wanted a closer look at them. Experts on many forums recommend that beginners with stargazing should simply start off with "a good pair of binoculars," which I don't even own anyway, so I started here and looked around. To summarize, I settled on this pair because of the reasonable price compared to other Binocular sets with similar features & specs. The aesthetics, albeit not as "cool" as its competitors, are still quite nice in its simplicity. **FUNCTIONALITY** They're fantastic! My home is situated in a sort of "retention" area with a VERY steady grade off towards the south, so you easily can see a mile + down the road. Naturally, this was my first test for the Binoculars. I was DELIGHTED. I could EASILY read the street signs, tell the Make and Model of every vehicle, read their License Plates, and if I had it steadily sitting on a Tripod, I'd reckon I could make out the individuals driving the vehicles. I look up at the colossal power line poles towering over the sides of my home and saw what I THOUGHT was an Itty bitty dove sitting on the cables, found it with the bonoculars, did a quick focal adjustment, and it turned out to be a huge HAWK. So, I am excited for nightfall to see what I can SEE. Definitely puts things into perspective. ;) hyuck hyuck. **PRACTICALITY** Since the viewing scopes are larger, it does make them a little forward-heavy, but it personally isn't an issue. I like the weight! It makes it feel sturdy. All of the vision adjustment is pretty intuitive. They're obviously not ready for your use right out of the box, so make sure you take a minute to get familiar with the adjustment wheels & their exact purpose (which is explained on the 1st page of the manual included with the Binoculars). Included with the Binoculars are: Tripod Adaptor, Neck Strap, microfiber Lens Cloth, & a nice sturdy Carry Bag (akin to a Lunchbox bag). **AESTHETICS** Let's be reasonable, these are Binoculars, so unless they're gold-plated or something your expectations can't be too great in this regard. Circling back to earlier, I did say I still wanted a pair that looked good, and these DO look good. The stitching of the material around the front lenses gives it a human touch, kind of like the stitching of the leather on a steering wheel. If you read all this, I appreciate it. This is a great starting set. I recommend to anyone stepping their foot through the door on stargazing or general long-distance viewing. Also, buy their carrying case (separately)! It's pretty sturdy. ... show more

  • First Amazon review on my first pair of Astronomy Binoculars
Style: SkyMaster 15x70
I normally don't take the time to write a review for something I purchased, but after reading a hundred plus reviews from multiple websites on the Celestron Skymaster 15x70 Binoculars, I decided to write one in hopes of helping someone else in making their decision to puchase these binoculars or not. I must first say, I am no expert by any means in Astronomy or binoculars. That being said, these binoculars are great for someone just getting into astronomy like myself. I have a pair of 7x35 binoculars I used from time to time to look at the moon and scan the sky, which definitely help aid the naked eye, but they are simply no comparison to the 15x70s. The negative reviews concerning the collimation issues along with complaints of this pair being too heavy for handheld use were nearly enough to deter me from purchasing them. After I put in more time researching than I probably should have, I decided to go ahead and buy them. I decided to wait on buying a tripod and try them out handheld first, to see just how difficult it was. I drove about 15 minutes to a nearby greenway the first night I had them, and was anxious to test them out. The moon was full, and I definitely had the best view I'd ever had in person through the 15x70s. Like I said before, the 7x35s don't compare. The moon looked 15 times closer in HD, and I could see tons of craters. I scanned up a ways a found Jupiter. I could easily see Jupiter and the four Galilean moons. Needless to say, it took me a total of 5 minutes to realize I got my moneys worth. The weight of the binoculars aren't too overwhelming. I did realize, however, that If I were going to spend a lot of time looking at the sky, a tripod would really come in handy. Even if the binoculars aren't too heavy, it's still difficult to fixate on one planet, cluster, or nebula for too long without seeing "dancing stars". I'm sure there are breathing techniques you can use to help keep it steady, but I figured I would give a tripod a try. I decided to buy locally to avoid having to wait a few more days for it to be shipped. I bought a Targus 58' Camera & Camcorder tripod for $28. It was really easy to set up, and has a lot of adjustments along with a 360 degree swivel. The adapter that came with the Binoculars isn't expensively built by any means, but it works fine for now. Very easy to attach/use. Last night I used the tripod, and it really did make a world of difference. Once you set your sights to an object, the tripod does it's job of stabilizing the image for you. I will continue to use the binoculars hand held, but I'll get a lot of use out of the tripod too because it adds another "element" to stargazing. In only two nights out so far, I've seen the moon like I've never seen it before, Jupiter and it's four moons, M42 (Orion Nebula), M43, M44 (Beehive Cluster), and many other clusters. You may see a cluster of 3 stars with the naked eye, but when you bring up the binoculars to where you were looking, so much more will visible. It's faily easy to find what you are looking for with these, as the provide a wide field of view through the large lenses. In conclusion of my review, the Celestron Skymaster 15x70 Binoculars are a great bang for your buck, especially for a beginner to astronomy such as myself. The tripod isn't necessary, but a great added tool to help aid you in keeping what you want to see steady. I also forgot to mention, I took them out of the box and adjusted them to my eyes during the daylight. I had no collimation issues at all. My pair came perfectly intact and ready to use. I hope you find this review helpful in aiding you to make a decision on whether or not to buy these. ... show more
