## Overview

The Celestron SkyMaster 25x70 binoculars deliver powerful 25x magnification through large 70mm objective lenses, enhanced by BaK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics for bright, sharp views in low light.

## 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.

Review: An amazing piece of kit - I've been the owner of a pair of 10x50 Tento binoculars for years, so I decided to upgrade and treat myself. I looked very carefully at each Celestron Skymaster binoculars available to see what might suit my needs. After doing some research and checking each spec, I decided to opt for the 15x70 Skymaster and boy does it do what it say's on the tin. Excellent clarity, great field of view and surprisingly not as heavy as what some people would say. Granted, without a tripod (which I might purchase in the future), they can feel a little heavy after a while, but if you place your hands at the end of the binoculars by the objective lens, the weight kind of balances itself out nicely. Setting up and calibrating the Skymaster to your eye's is very simple. To be honest, unless you are a serious sky watcher, don't get anything bigger than this as your field of view will be seriously decrease and you will need a tripod. 15x magnification is what I would say is in the Goldilocks zone. My Skymasters arrived less than 24 hours after I ordered them with standard delivery and that was without Prime. There was a crescent moon the same night and boy was I blown away. I could see far more details than I ever could with my old pair of bino's. At this price, the build quality is awesome and feels way more expensive than it's price. Just a good bit of advice though which I found when I was doing my research, if you do buy a tripod, purchase a metal tripod holder for your bino's as the plastic one supplied is pretty much useless as your binoculars will bounce at the slightest touch, spoiling your view time, but a metal tripod holder will keep your binocular as steady as a rock.
Review: Great Beginnners Sky Searchers. Amazing Powerful general Purpose (Bulky) Binoculars - Beautifully clear image offered by the large 80mm lens. They have a robust feel and seem to be well made and should last for many years with care. These are a great starter pair for sky watching, but if that is your main use for them you W|ILL need a Tripod. They are heavy but thats not the real problem, if you focus on anything that is on considerable magnification it is impossible to hold them still enough to get any sort or real idea of the target image, in addition as soon as you try and adjust the focus, you loose the target you are focussing on. I bought these as a powerful set for sky watching, birding, and general scenery when walking and holidaying. Though bulky they are worth carrying for the quality and depth of the image that is available. Easily backpackable. I live in a city and it is amazing the way on a CLEAR night they cut through the haze that is there (but not visible) and allows you so see a complete vista of stars that are not available to the naked eye. I wish I could have afforded the 25x100, but for that cost I will supplement it and buy myself a good telescope. These are fantastic powerful general purpose binoculars and can be used for sky watching WITH a tripod, dont believe reviews that say you dont need it. Great Value. Recommended. I wish they had provided a better padded carry bag.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Celestron SkyMaster Bins 15x70 are they worth buying?
*by R***S on 28 May 2012*

I have been on the lookout for a pair of bins with relatively high magnification since buying a telescope a few years ago. I use these bins for both terrestrial and astronomical viewing, and overall find them very very good - Why you may ask did I buy these if I already have a telescope - The main reason is that the telescope can be a drag to get out and set up - taking about 15 mins to get the settings correct - these bins give me adequate magnification for most astronomical views - from lunar viewing and planetary spotting - Jupiter can be seen along with four of its moons - and when used with a tripod Saturn and its general shape with the rings can be just made out - you wont see any of the planets crystal clear like in pictures in books if you expect to see this you will be disappointed - Jupiter for example is a non discernible blob with four other very faint blobs beside it - but if your into astronomy you wont mind this. Terrestrial viewing however is another thing entirely - excellent, clear views over seas, mountains, and bird watching you will be amazed with how much clarity the images appear - this is due to the 70mm lenses and their light gathering ability - excellent. The weight issue mentioned in a few other reviews is not a major issue in my case but when my partner uses them after a couple of minutes she has to put them down - so the inclusion of a tripod adapter is a necessary one - but I would recommend purchasing a metal one for about £10 as in any slight breeze the bins sway a little and that defeats the object of using them on a tripod. In conclusion as I use these bins for mainly astronomical viewing in retrospect I should have purchased the more expensive 25x70mm ones as there is only about £20 different in the price - but I was put off these after reading the reviews of them being too heavy - so my advice would be if your the average 40 something male (which I am) and are looking for primarily astronomical binoculars then I'd suggest the more expensive ones but if weight bearing on your arms is an issue then these are the ones for you - honestly a very very good quality product at a reasonable price - if your in the market for a new pair of binoculars - go buy these you won't be disappointed.
