Product Information

This results in considerable more clarity than cheaper binoculars, ensuring you get crisp, high contrast images with unbelievable resolution. Built in Tripod Adapter and RSR “Reflex Sight Ready” Rail More versatile– Binoculars can be used for a variety of activities, not just astronomy. They can be used for bird watching, hiking, sports, etc. SkyMaster Pro binoculars are the ideal choice for amateur astronomers or anyone that observes at great distances. Compared to lower-priced large aperture binoculars, SkyMaster Pro uses superior optics, coatings, internal parts and housing materials. With large objective lenses, BaK-4 prisms and fully multi-coated optics utilizing Celestron’s proprietary XLT coating technology, the view through a SkyMaster Pro is second to none at this price point.

They have huge objective lenses, BaK-4 prisms and fully multi-coated optics. At this price, you will not be able to find binoculars that provide as good a view. There is very little difference between these and the Celestron SkyMaster 20×80 Binoculars and so worth considering if you can find these for substantially cheaper. I do know, and I’m sure I agree with you on the choice of the 20×80 binoculars. If I were in your place, without a second’s hesitation, I would choose the second model I told you about, the Bresser binoculars.More portable– They are easier to carry around and set up, making them great for impromptu stargazing sessions or for taking on trips. Telescopes, especially larger models, can be heavy and bulky to transport. Focus: Regular binoculars are designed to focus on relatively close objects, while astronomy binoculars are designed to focus on distant objects. I read somewhere that the eyecups of the Deluxes are not very comfortable, what are your thoughts? The 20x80 Deluxe would stretch my budget ever further, will have to think about it, but have learned from more research that the build and greater weight of binos is very important for keeping them safe and reducing the risk of getting out of collimation.

Optical quality is also a very important factor to puncture light pollution and to see better at every opportunity. Therefore, among the binoculars available on the market, in my opinion the APM 20x70 ED, is the best definitive middle ground, of what you are looking for and that will be useful for most of the occasions (both by hand and mounted). And if you wear glasses, the great news is that you won’t need to take them off to use these binoculars, as they have the ability to compensate for dioptres as well as having folding rubber ears that allow you to make the most of the entire field of view. I began the selection of 20×80 binoculars with these binoculars from Celestron whose quality-price ratio is very good. Celestron build their products with quality and the finest component/materials; the SkyMaster Pros are no exception.

Your Budget: Knowing how much it costs is critical when looking for a good product. Because the current model price ranges widely, from low-cost to high-end, naturally, the more high-end items are merged with new features, the more unique features are added. Choose the correct goods based on your demands and economic factors. Where I come from we say " it is not possible to have the full barrel and the wife drunk", and in your case (for example) you can't have a 25x100 and use it freehand, but you can't even use a 1200g 15x70 hoping it works like a 25x100. They are powerful enough for an experienced astronomer to enjoy, as well as appreciate the speed and ease of setting them up. With terrestrial viewing, they provide bright and crisp views. While there is some CA when looking at things with bright edges, general viewing wasn’t affected in any way. I plan to take them to my local nature reserve to test them out on some wild life as well. The eye relief is 18mm. This is the measurement of how far you can have your eye from the eyepiece and for glasses wearers you want this to be above 14mm.

This ensures excellent light-gathering ability, especially in low light conditions which makes them ideal for astronomical viewing. The 20x magnification means that you will see objects 20 times closer. Two key things to know about this are: The Bresser binoculars that I am going to talk about now have a very good quality; these binoculars not only have a 20x magnification or zoom and an 80 mm objective lens but also a Bak-4 multi coated prism, which will allow you to have a wide field of view at 1000m: 56m, displaying very clear, sharp and well defined images. Overall, none are really “better” once you take into account the price. Essentially, they get more expensive as the aperture increases and higher aperture means better views. Cheaper– Generally, a good pair of binoculars is less expensive than a good telescope. This makes them a less risky investment for someone just starting out in the hobby.

With the 12 x 60 Skymaster can see all bright nebulas and fairly big clusters along the Milky Way (M4, M22, etc.), last week I spotted the Eagle nebula without effort. On a night that was not so good, Andromeda galaxy nucleus was evident but no M110, I am sure that on a better night its view will be better. Have not considered zoom binoculars, as they seem to have all narrow FOVs even at lowest magnification. So when choosing your long-range binoculars, think about what you are going to do with it, to consider the minimum field of view, the angular width it offers you and the linear field, among other things, because as you know it is not the same to observe outdoors and want to have a wide field of view than to look at something that is rather static and with hardly any mobility.
