## Description

Product Description Celestron has designed and engineered the larger SkyMaster models to meet the special demands of extended astronomical or terrestrial viewing sessions. This special 25x70 version brings you even closer to the action, with the highest boost in power you’ll find in our fixed magnification binoculars. Due to its weight, size (including its very large objective lenses), and very high magnification levels, this binocular should be mounted on a standard photographic tripod for extended periods of use. We’ve included a tripod adapter rod that allows you to mount your SkyMaster binoculars on any sturdy ¼”-20 photographic tripod in seconds. These large powerful binoculars ensure high performance in all weather conditions and are designed for astronomical viewing or terrestrial (land-based) viewing over long distances. Astronomers have praised the Celestron SkyMaster for decades for its high-quality BaK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics, which enhance contrast and bring out bright, sharp images—especially in low light conditions. The binocular features soft, comfortable rubber eyecups that block stray light. Eyeglass wearers can fold down the eyecups and view with their eyeglasses on. Your purchase of the Celestron SkyMaster 25x70 binoculars includes the tripod adapter, objective lens caps, a rainguard, a deluxe carrying case, a neck strap, a lens cloth, and an instruction manual. Buy with confidence from the world’s No.1 telescope brand and a leading binocular manufacturer, based in California since 1960. Box Contains Celestron Sky Master 25x 70 Binocular

Review: Perfect for a Start-up mega binocular, but still a good one to have in your bag if you are an expert. - Before I bought this, I didn't know much about Binoculars, let alone astronomical ones. Having said that, since then I have learnt a great deal. Let me categorize my reviews here: 1. Build quality / construction: This is designed and built very well and is very sturdy. The quality of materials for this price is unmatched and it has a good grip due to the surface all over the binocular. This also makes it very easy to hold despite it's weight. The lens caps on each end are of good quality and they cover the lens with a tight seal, however, the only criticism I have is that the covers (especially on the objective lens) are individually removable but have no strap or tags to attach them to anything, you'd have to keep them separately in a bag or pocket and are easy to lose. 2. Operation: The adjustment at the center is done by a plastic wheel with knurling on it for better grip, it feels a touch too tight, but it is better this way as plastic degrades over time and you don't want it on the loose side. 3. Image quality: The overall performance of these binoculars are good, but I have noticed that the image gets very slightly distorted when I used it for terrestrial viewing on a hot day. Also, the adjustment, in my opinion, could have been a touch finer, especially when you are looking at a full moon. Due to the magnification, the field of view (portion of the sky one could see) is small, but because of the massive objective lenses (70mm dia) you could see quite deep into space with reasonable contrast as it collects more light. 4. Stability: All binoculars of this size and magnification suffer from instability as very small movements can cause the image to shake violently. The only way to cure it is with a strong tripod, not the cheap £20 ones though. On desertcart, my gf bought me an desertcart basic All-metal tripod for about £42, which came with a trigger grip handle - which is very articulate and incredibly strong, stable and a breeze to maneuver. Overall: This is by no means the best binocular out there, but by far, THE best one for the price. If you are an amateur astronomer starting out and looking to spend little dosh to observe objects Hundreds and thousands of lightyears away, this is the one to buy.
Review: Excellent bins, buy some! - Firstly let me tell you a little about why I purchased these bins. A few month ago, I was browsing the NASA website for one reason or another when I stumbled upon the 'spot the station' page. I found myself staring at the sky looking at the ISS (international space station) when it was due to fly over the U.K. During this period all I could see was a very bright light travelling at some speed above me, then that got me thinking about what I might be able to see through a pair of bins, deeper in to space is what I wanted, planetary views, lunar views, messier objects, whatever.. I wanted a closer look! As weeks went by, I kept spotting the space station, wishing I had the spare cash to purchase some decent binoculars. When the time eventually came for me to buy some, I did my research on hell of a lot of pairs & for what I wanted, the Celestron 25x70 skymasters hit the nail on the head. As soon as these arrived (next day as I'm impatient) I cracked them open. They arrived well packed, a box within a box within a box which I suppose is quite fiddly but better they stay protected! They also come with a carry case, lens covers, a neck strap, cleaning cloth, instructions AND a tripod mount. I was dumbfounded at the lunar views I was getting, but then after a minute or so came the shakes and arms hurting to due the weight of these bins and holding them up & steady for any length of time is quite difficult! I called for my nephew to come & see what I was seeing just to make sure I wasn't dreaming & there it was in full view, lovely crisp super up-close images of our moon, craters and all! I wanted better quality, steadier images, so I went ahead and purchased a tripod (desertcartBasics 60-Inch Lightweight Tripod with Bag) I have left a review on the tripod I purchased so I wont go in to detail here, but the difference it made is fantastic. The build quality of these bins is excellent, they feel very sturdy. One problem I read about the Celestron bins is that they tend to come out of collimation, but luckily enough mine didn't (and neither did the 20x50's I purchased separately) If you are an amateur like me and wish to purchase something a little more than 10x magnification, I suggest these 25x with a tripod (and I can also vouch for the 20x50's too!) All in all my decision on these binoculars paid off big time! Go ahead and buy them you wont be disappointed!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would these binoculars be suitable, tripod-mounted, for use as a spotting scope for rifle shooting at ranges of 50 to 300 yards?**
A: I can tell you that these binoculars are excellent tripod mounted, they will match and in some cases, will out perform a spotting scope with ease, they are extremely comfortable to look throu, easy to handle, and the optics are excellent quality, and offer excellent imaging in day and night time conditions. From what I know, some prefer spotting scopes as it gives the user the same sort of feel and view, that the shooter has down his/her scope.  These binoculars will look after you no problem.

**Q: Is there a lighter model with  similar range . These are around 3lbs in weight and I have severe arthritis. Also would I need to have a tripod.**
A: You must use these with a tripod,  because of the  high magnification its not possible for anyone to hold these without the target image wobbling

**Q: do they work enhanced at night**
A: The binoculars are excellent and work very well at night, however, the tripod bracket as supplied is very (sensitive to vibration/movement).   I solved it by filling the sides with hard setting substance (such as No Nails etc) and it is now very stable.   Hope this helps, Brian

**Q: Are these ok for bird watching in the garden?**
A: Depends how big your garden is......  Great for night sky and looking out to sea.  They are quite large and heavy so we have found that they are best mounted on a tripod.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for money
*by B***Y on 14 October 2021*

UPDATE: Had a proper chance to use these as there was a clear enough night from my back garden and quite a few stars could be spotted, had a look at Jupiter. You can clearly see its 4 galilean moons. I had a budget tripod so it was hard to get everything focused up and Jupiter in the centre of the field of view, but when I did, absolutely amazing. That alone is worth the price, it was also a waxing gibbous moon so it was very bright looking through the binoculars but the detail was amazing, easily spot tycho and the detail in the different shades of colour. I also just glanced around the night sky with them and you can see so many more stars, I looked into what seemed like blank space with the naked eye and through the binoculars it was full of stars, I will probably get a lower magnification pair of bins to suit more of a wide field of view to spot constellations as these wouldn't be suitable for that, but great for looking at stars when you find them. Overall extremely good value for money Bought this for stargazing, a new hobby of mine, these bins were perfect out of the box, I have seen reviews of people having problems with these but thankfully mine were okay. The image quality is crystal clear for budget binoculars like these, and with such a high magnification also. I don't think they are heavy, but I have no frame of reference, you can easily hold them up and view things in mid range distance, but I would imagine keeping them held up would be a task, and for full length magnification, you will need a tripod, I purchased the Neewer portable 56 inch camera tripod along with my order, also great value for money they're more than capable for handling the binoculars, there is a weak point however, the included tripod mount that comes with the binoculars is plastic crap, buy a better metal mount and you'll be glad you did, I bought a metal mount for 7 or 8 euro I think. The plastic mount will have a slight sway all the time when mounted, the metal is much more stable and if you want to get the most out of these on a tripod, id use a metal mount. All in all I would recommend, to my knowledge both the 15x70 and 20x80 skywatchers are better quality but these do just fine. If you wouldn't like to buy a tripod, the 15x70 would be a more viable option, if you want even more clarity, better overall quality, buy the 20x80 as I believe there are better quality materials,glass lens in those
