Celestron 71008 SkyMaster 25x70 Binocular (Black)

I ordered Meade 15X70 before this one and had to return them since they were not waterproof. They were also quite heavy and made tripod indispensable as a tool. Then I ordered Celestron 25X70 as the magnification was much more, however with reduced field of view. I was mesmerized to see Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy and some very faint star clusters with this one. What surprised me the most was it's lighter weight compared to Meade and a better build quality. Optics were way better and of superior coating. I saw Jupiter with four moons with quite ease, however even with the most sturdy tripod, you wouldn't be able to see belts on Jupiter or rings of Saturn. Your only best bet will be with deep sky objects which require expertise and then too, you shouldn't expect an exemplary view but just some greyish patches of clusters and faint luminaries. However, as an astronomer, this is worth every penny that you'll invest in these binoculars.

The media could not be loaded. The binocular is very good it's build quality is also good ,heavy duty ,weight is normal not too heavy a kid can hold it easily.The bag provided with it is also of good quality and it won't rip.You can attach it on a tripod for steady viewing.Overall I must say it is a very good productAnd it is a value for money.

I am quiet ok with the magnification offered at this price. I would say that the tripod adapter was not that good as i expected, but yeah it is usable…It is excellent for terrestrial viewing in my opinion. When it comes to celestial views its good, but it would need some practice to handle the shakiness.Cons:1. Slightly overpriced.2. Low quality tripod adapter.3. Other than this, when i ordered this for the first time, it came without a tripod adapter. I had to requested a replacement which led me to wait for 5 more days, which is awful.Overall i am happy with product now, i will share my experience with it after using it for 6 months or so.

Big thanks to Amazon Delivery for excellently handling such a delicate and costly item.Received this powerful beauty in excellent condition.Unboxing was the beginning of happiness, big thanks to the seller for sending brand new well-kept branded products.Now about the binoculars...Very good zoom, very good clarity, easy to set up, tripod mountable, able to read the text on the balloons almost 1.5kms away, able to see the statue of God which is approximately 5kms away. After a few days of sky gazing, I will post updates about it. So far so good 🤞✌️👌👍Update 02Jan2023Lucky to take this bino to a pollution-free area and enjoyed brilliant views of the Orion Nebula and 19 other stars/celestial objects.So for terrestrial and astronomical observation, this is brilliant. Those who can not handle magnification and weight can complain about any powerful binoculars.

Great binos , good for sky, especially moon with clear details. Don't expect gallexys and planets. Folks remember one thing it's FOV that's more important., What's the point if you have tiny dot and all you need to do is scratch your eye ball to it to get a glimpse of saturn or any other. Trust me this is good and fits easily to your existing SLR/ digcam tripod also. Just go for this, it's not worth taking pain for a telescope. Buy this sort of bino and thus will do the job. It's not double vision that most people talk about, need to adjust Interpupil distance to get one circeled image and close your right eye to get perfect zoom and then close your left eye cap to adjust right diopter till the image is clear, Then it's a bang, you will find perfect single circle with clear sharp images. Personal suggestion don't go beyond 75x80 as they become practically heave to carry and also your FOV will decrease.

If I focus right glass the left get blurry. I tried a lot but that fucusing is missing and the product is having the fault in it. In need replacement.

It's not much clear as defined and it's too heavy to carry

A wonderful Binocular for a beginner where you can gift to someone who likes watching birds, moon, and other far off objects.Really nice Binocular, worth buying it.Little expensive for this zoom range and little heavy.I recommend a tripod to handle the weight and can help a lot to view the things better.A tripod is highly recommended to buy along with this.Nice bag for having the binocular safe.Really worth of buying it!!
