You don't need that much imagination.

If you want to explore the sky, don't choose her. They're just too powerful to actually find things. You can't keep them still enough to be useful. I used the adapter in the box to mount mine on a tripod and after scanning and locking the tripod settings it takes about 2 minutes for the vibrations to settle down so you can see what you wanted. By then, the ground has rotated enough that you'll have to move them again. Also, this Skymaster model doesn't feel like a high-end Celestron. I can't…

Pros
  • Large 70mm lens maximizes image brightness in low light and at long distances.
Cons
  • Appearance

No sharp focus / collimation problem

I didn't know what collimation was until I started researching the problem with these binoculars and found it had a name. The binoculars look great out of the box. I brought them with high expectations to the desert mountains to test them. I immediately realize that when trying to focus on distant objects, I had great trouble focusing on objects at any distance, even after several diopter adjustments. Coincidentally, the visual difference between mine left and right eye minimal. My first game…

Pros
  • Super sharp focus throughout the field of view. Linear field of view (at 1000 yards) at 1000 m): 141 ft (47 m) Exit pupil: 0.11 in. Eye Relief: 0.51"
Cons
  • Crumpled

Celstron 25x70 vs. 15x70

I have Celestron 15x70 and 25x70 binoculars. After comparing the two I came to the following conclusion: Both binoculars are excellent and have a sharp, clear image. The optics are really stunning in this price range! I had to return the 25x70 set due to internal dust when checking it out, but Revain sent me a new pair with no problem. Both binoculars use the same body. The 25x70 is slightly shorter (1/4 inch) due to the closer distance between the eyepiece (eye) and lens. The 25x70 eyepieces…

Pros
  • Suitable for terrestrial or astronomical observations. Ipd max: 2.83 inch
Cons
  • confused

A good balance of price/quality, recommend it.

I've been using it occasionally for over 2 years. During this time, I managed to drop the front lens onto the asphalt, since it sits far away, only the hull suffered. We watched a solar eclipse, the Moon, the Pleiades, Chi-Ash Perseus, Jupiter (as a disk and 4 points nearby), Saturn (a disk with rings) in it. Everything looks great. Andromeda can also be seen, but more difficult, about darker galaxies - it makes no sense to talk. Considering that I took it in 2022 for a thousand for 3500-4000,

Pros
  • 1. Aperture 2. Rubberized body. 3. Sharp enough.
Cons
  • 1. With prolonged use, the focusing mechanism screw becomes loose and the eyepieces begin to walk freely along the guides. It is treated by removing the Celestron plug and tightening the screw. 2. There is absolutely no native "foot" on a tripod, just exhale next to the binoculars on a tripod and everything starts to dance.

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

I took it for astronomical observations, although many on the forums write that they say it’s better to take 15x70, but for myself I realized that it depends on what to observe, so I don’t agree. For nebulae, binoculars are still not enough, but for observing planets, the larger the magnification, the better. The only thing - be sure to take a tripod, without it it is very difficult to observe from the hands, everything is shaking very much. An adapter for it is included. Compared to the…

Pros
  • Relatively fast aperture (which is good for astronomical observations), powerful magnification. Tripod adapter included.
Cons
  • Not really a drawback - without a tripod, very strong shaking, due to the strong increase.
