Celestron SkyMaster Binoculars

Oberwork. They're a class act.

Run far, far away from Celestron Skymaster. They're infamous for poor quality control, short warranty, no support. They sell decent economical birding bins, though.

For a 100 bucks they are OK. Optics are OK. Not great, crisp and clean like Leupold or Nikon, but Ok for what they cost. Collimation is not great, you may have to try and adjust. Focus is adequate and seems to hold position. The adapter to hold these to the tripod is not adequate to keep vibration a...

Monopods are simpler to move around and pack away but can't be left free standing so that choice depends on how they will be used and stored. If they will mostly be used in daylight aperture doesn't need to be as large. But if he wants more low light performance more is better. My instinct is that some larger but cheaper 15x70 binos (eg Celestron SkyMaster or similar), a bino mount adapter and a fluid head video tripod could be a potent combination.

this is truly a beautiful binocular but I wish I could praise the manufacturing. The IPD hinge literally broke as I was adjusting it while viewing the moon on first use. It may be a fluke or it could be an issue with the overall manufacturing standards of this Celestron binocular. Disappointed.

Celestron skymaster 12x60 or 10x50. Nikon aculon A211 10x50. Are good enough and relativity cheaper to begin with astronomy and to use in other activities, in general if it's good for astronomy it's good for other activities, since you keep under or around 10x.

I purchased these as a first foray into stargazing. I really wanted a small telescope, but most of the review sites suggested a pair of 10x50 binoculars to start with. I'm no fool, bigger is always better, so I ordered these 15x70 giants instead. Lesson one: You will never, ever, hold these steady e...

On the B&H site at the moment my value pick would be the Celestron 20x80 SkyMaster Binoculars at $US158 and Magnus VT-300 Video Tripod with Fluid Head at $US80. That would be a decent combo.

We bought these binoculars for our son when he turned seven. He has a great interest in astronomy, and we considered buying him a telescope. We had read several reviews recommending buying a student a nice pair of binoculars before purchasing a telescope. This recommendation proved to be exactly rig...

These are a bit over budget and didn't get as positive reviews which I was surprised by:. Celestron 72023 SkyMaster 9x63 Binoculars,Black I did see a post from a little while back saying there's sometimes a less than 100% efficiency in the transmission but I'm struggling to find that in the specs.

It took 3 tries to get a complete package that was not out of collimation. I suspsect that the great price may be a result of being refurbished or returned products, which was not stated. As always, Amazon is hassle free about returning/replacing the items...just hate the wasted time. The first pair...
