SkyMaster Pro binoculars are the ideal choice for amateur astronomers or anyone that observes at great distances. Compared to lower-priced large aperture binoculars, SkyMaster Pro uses superior optics, coatings, internal parts and housing materials. With large objective lenses, BaK-4 prisms and fully multi-coated optics utilizing Celestron's proprietary XLT coating technology, the view through a SkyMaster Pro is second to none at this price point.  The 70mm objective lenses have tremendous light gathering capabilities, delivering superior low light performance, even in the dimmest conditions. Choose SkyMaster Pro for use at dusk, dawn and nighttime astronomical viewing.  Every air-to-glass surface is multi-coated with Celestron's proprietary XLT coating technology. These coatings coupled with BaK-4 prisms increase light transmission through the optical path and deliver crisp, high contrast images with outstanding resolution.  The binocular also includes both standard and winged rubber eyecups. When lighting conditions are not ideal and there is a lot of glare or light entering from the side, switch to the winged eyecups to block this light and improve the view.  The built in tripod adapter of the SkyMaster Pro 20x80 not only allows the binocular to be attached to a tripod for added stability during longer viewing sessions but also allows a red-dot finder to be attached to it utilizing the removable rail. When properly aligned with the binocular, the red-dot finder will allow objects to be brought into view quickly.  The tripod adapter included with the SkyMaster Pro not only allows the binocular to be attached to a tripod for added stability during longer viewing sessions, but also includes a removable rail for attaching a red dot finderscope. When properly aligned with the binocular, a red-dot finder helps you locate objects quickly and center them in the binocular.  The polycarbonate and aluminum housing allows the binocular to be lighter weight without sacrificing its durability. The housing with protective rubber armor is extremely rugged and durable with the ability to handle tough use.  The fully waterproof housing for use in all weather conditions provides peace of mind when unexpected weather rolls in. The housing is also filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the internal lenses from fogging when moving between extreme temperatures or when using the binocular in damp conditions.  Bring distant objects into view with 20x magnification great for observing celestial objects in greater detail, searching for wildlife in the brush or viewing a distant object on the horizon.

I had had the opportunity to try these out at a friend's house and was sold at that point.  My own set was good to go right out of the box.  No scratches on the casing or smudges on any of the lenses.  As we are in Milky Way season, they do a great job bringing the core closer to me!  And the moon...awesome.  I will say that a sturdy tripod is a must for  the optimal viewing experience.  They are simply too heavy to hold steady for long periods of time.

Great Optics.  Great Value

I use this to complement my telescopes as it?s often nice to just scan the skies and appreciate the wider views. Absolutely brilliant views of the Pleiades and Perseus clusters. In the daytime, it's handy with distant birds. Only a tinge of chromatic aberration on the bright planets and along the lunar limb, but easily ignored. Bring a tripod! The built-in adapter feels secure and is great. I added a red dot finder using the included rail and it helps me aim the tripod (though I?d recommend a parallelogram style mount and a lawn chair!). I enjoy using them and they?re simple enough for kids to handle. Big objective lenses gather A LOT of light to eke out those faint fuzzies.

I like big binos and I cannot lie

Amazing product.  Very powerful.  clear view and definition.  I did not gave it 5 stars because mine came with a dirty spot, inside the glass that I can not get to unless I disassemble the unit.  it is very very small black spot, it does not affect the view, but is there.....
it is heavy, but given the POWER this thing have, it is understandable.

Very very powerful binocular

Great gift!

Great Binoculars , exactly what I was looking for , the moon etc . Just remember unless you are Mr Olympia , make sure you use a monopod or tripod for extended viewing.

Sky Master 20 x 80 Binoculars

A great product changes how you perceive opportunities you never imagined every time you use it.  The Celestron Skymaster Pro 20x80 is a Great Product!  I purchased these binoculars primarily for stargazing.  The exceptionally clear night sky where we live on Cape Cod is perfect for stargazing, and I figured I would  treat myself to a big step up from my 8x50 binocs.   The latter served me well, but the Skymaster treated me to details of the Milky Way my older binocs only hinted at.  Thousands of distant stars and galaxies now burst forth from what was previously black space.  Better still, our grown children have taken up serious stargazing after spending a week of stargazing with the Skymaster.  My only regret is I didn't have another pair of Skymasters, or two, to keep everyone happy!

The balance on the Skymaster Pro is quite good, enabling these binocs to be used without a tripod. 
 With these binocs tipping the scale at almost 5 lbs.,I recommend holding the binoc close to the objective lens to minimize vibrations once you have set your focus.

One small detail we find really convenient is the design of the dust caps.  The rubber objective lens dust caps are hinged to a rubber ring that fits snuggly around the binocular barrel:.  The rubber eye piece dust caps can be attached to the binocular strap.  No more fumbling when removing (and possibly losing) dust caps!

All in all a superb optical instrument!

Superb Optics, Well-Designed. Excellent Value

Received in good order and is everything I expected it to be. Paired it with a tripod and use used it to view crescent moon and it was great.

Superd Viewing

Product arrived as promised in good condition, with no faults and timely.Ad states that it accepts screw in filters (moon) which is incorrect, no threads available.

Celestron 20x80 Skymaster Pro

Excellent optics for the price.  I've not used any other product in this price range with this level of quality.  If you can't or don't want to spend big money (like over 2K), these are the ticket.  They do weigh a bit, so a tripod really helps.  It's great that these can be mounted to a tripod.  Great packaging and bag here, too.
