Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron SkyMaster 20x80 Binoculars

Customer Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought these binoculars on the recommendation of a well-respected book. Wow!

I had originally made the mistake of looking at the half-moon through a screen: Lots of distortion, flare, etc. It finally occurred to me that the screens were likely the problem, so I went outside, and...BAM! Amazing. All problems resolved. Super-clarity, no distortion, etc.

I'm impressed with the performance, especially considering the low cost. These two 80mm objectives have very nearly the light-gathering capacity of a 114mm telescope (I did the math).

They are heavy, of course, and so a tripod is a necessity. But all in all, a very good deal for the money.

Description of Celestron SkyMaster 20x80 Binoculars

The SkyMaster Series of large aperture binoculars from Celestron offer phenomenal performance for astronomical viewing. They are also a great choice for terrestrial use, especially over long distances. All models feature high quality BAK-4 prisms and have multi-coatings for enhanced contrast. The 80 and 100mm models are waterproof and feature structural reinforcement of the main body for maximum stability and secure optical alignment - in addition, they have a built-in super-rigid photo tripod adapter.
When it's time to gaze at the stars or take in some long-distance or low-light terrain viewing, look no further than the Celestron 71018 SkyMaster 20 x 80 binoculars. Featuring high quality BAK-4 prisms, multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast, a diopter adjustment for fine focusing, and large apertures, these binoculars offer phenomenal performance.

The Celestron 71018 features a 20x magnification and an objective lens diameter of 80 millimeters, giving it a 4-millimeter exit pupil. (The exit pupil size -- the diameter of the objective lens divided by the magnification -- determines the amount of light available to your eye. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image obtained will be. A three-millimeter exit pupil is generally sufficient for daytime use, five-millimeters is suitable for daytime and twilight, and seven-millimeters is generally necessary for maximum nighttime or astronomy use.) The Celestron 71018 also includes an integrated tripod adapter rod, a deluxe padded soft carrying case, and Celestron's No Fault Limited Lifetime Warranty.
