## 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

## 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for a Start-up mega binocular, but still a good one to have in your bag if you are an expert.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 July 2016*

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 Amazon, my gf bought me an Amazon 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Star Grazing and being Nosy
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 12 January 2014*

No I didn't spell it wrongly. I am an occasional sky watcher not an avid star gazer. I carry a pair of binoculars in the car to stop and be nosy from time to time an do a few minutes of bird watching if something catches my eye. I asked for a decent (but not expensive) pair of bins for Xmas but was not trusting my wife enough to let her loose on Amazon. I am on the downhill side of life (along with my eyes), I have imbalanced sight and astigmatism in one eye. I researched many Celestron products and some users were critical of bad collimation. These 25x70s were pretty well reviewed and at a very reasonable price for such a high mag product. I noted that some people thought them heavy and were only usable on a tripod and others were critical of the plastic tripod mount. I already had a decent video tripod but made sure I asked for a steel bracket as part of the present.They turned out to be a great Xmas gift and I have used them several times in the last month. Easy to focus and to balance out my eye problems. Heavyish, yes but manageable for a few minutes. Looked at planes flying overhead.....the narrow field of view makes it difficult to pick things up quickly. I scanned across the con trails and then followed the trails to the airliner. Amazingly close and crystal clear (great if you are a plane spotter, which I'm not) but you need to to be hand holding to follow moving objects like this.Left them outside on a tripod for an hour on a cold clear night recently (so that they didn't condense up on coming from my warm house) and then looked at a few stars. As I mentioned earlier I am no astronomer so I was amazed to see a cluster of small stars around a pinkish bright star in the eastern sky. A quick Google search told me I was looking at Jupiter with its moons, surprisingly clear. Our local moon was almost too bright, it completely filled the field of view and was crystal clear. A real wow moment!Great product, fulfills all my requirements for casual close-up viewing. The carrying case is a bit flimsy but fine for the car. Not a set of binoculars to go walking with but would be great if you owned a submarine or battle cruiser.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for money
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 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 moneyBought 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
