Review on πŸ”­ Master the Skies with Celestron's 20x80 SkyMaster Pro Astronomy Binoculars by Abhey Raj ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

The binoculars are definitely good. In this price category, he has no worthy competitors. It is best suited for observing deep-sky objects, however, due to the mass of 2.1kg (2.6kg for the old model), constant shaking quickly starts to piss you off without a tripod. Ground objects located at a large (> 100m) distance are much more convenient to view from the hands. Peeping through the windows also delivers, although for this it is advisable to take something lighter and with a lower magnification. Lunusha-Moon will erotically show all her seas and large craters to all assiduous owners of SkyMaster 20x80 ;P (in terms of detail, of course, I would like more, but do not forget that binoculars are the last thing you should use to observe our satellite). If possible, when buying, be sure to look at the information (the picture should not double), visually check the quality of the anti-reflective coating (preferably green or blue). Binoculars are recommended to all inexperienced amateur astronomers. My rating is 9/10.

Pros
  • (+) high luminosity, high contrast, comfortable to watch even in the dark; (+) relatively wide field of view 3.7Β°/AFOV 74Β° (in the new model 71018) for a binocular with such a high magnification; (+) large eye relief allows even those who wear glasses to feel comfortable; (+) the ability to mount on a tripod; (+) low price - when buying on these your internets, the subject will cost about 5500 (with delivery to 2022); (+) stunning appearance! light it on the street - a crowd of onlookers around is guaranteed.
Cons
  • (-) large mass, handheld observation for a long time is tiring, although for this type of 'giant' binoculars, the SkyMaster 20x80 is relatively "light"; (-) there is a slight backlash of the focuser and minor assembly negligence (what did you want for $170?); (-) there are disordered specimens that require adjustment (calibration); (-) in most instances there are cheap prisms with a "square" exit pupil (this does not cause real inconvenience if you are not a rabid astronomer fan); (-) do not hold well and caps from eyepieces and lenses constantly fall off.
