Product Information

Hi. I'm in South America, latitude 5 degrees north, 4.200 ft altitude. I can see now Scorpius and Sagitarius fairly high, 2 nights ago it was very clear and could glimpse the Milky Way easily. Weight and Size: Due to their larger lenses astronomy binoculars tend to be heavier and larger than regular binoculars. The binoculars are catalogued with a numbering according to how far they can increase the vision and according to the type of objective lens they have. There is very little difference between these and the Celestron SkyMaster 20×80 Binoculars and so worth considering if you can find these for substantially cheaper. However, it is worth understanding what they are suitable for and their limitations to make sure they are right for you. In particular in terms of the views you will get, and that they need to be used with a tripod.

Swarovski NL Pure10x42 review: sensational high-end binoculars for wildlife spotting and spectator sports Take a look at our buyer’s guide below for some tips and advice when exploring the market. Anti-reflective coatings As for the field of view offered by this model of binoculars, it is interesting to know that it has an angle of 3.7° and a linear range of 59 m; with an exit pupil of 4 mm and a perfect focus from 33 metres. This review will outline the main spec, pros and cons, so you can make a decision as to whether the are the best pair for you. Orion publishes a warning with these binoculars (and many of its products): "Please note this product was not designed or intended by the manufacturer for use by a child 12 years of age or younger." This may reflect the company's very appropriate concern that you should never look at the sun, especially with any kind of magnifying device, unless it is properly filtered. Or, it may be about the product liability of a heavy object hoisted around in the dark. Or the breakability of its big glass lenses. Whatever it was, we didn't see similar legal language from other brands.

Remember, higher magnification means you get closer in to what you are viewing but gives you a narrower field of view, so is not necessarily a case of ‘higher is better’. Hello, I’m considering choices to upgrade my 12 x 60 Skymaster, I will keep them for immediate sky watching or grab and go. They are slightly miscollimated but nothing serious and I have enjoyed the views of globular, open clusters and bright nebula. I want some more power, was thinking of a 3.5 or 4 inch refractor but I prefer much more the ‘spaceship’ binocular views and have limited space in my apartment. However, I do have a clear view from NE to South, 5 to 55 degrees approx. to the zenith, with medium light pollution. Watching with the Skymasters the strawberry full moon rise behind far away mountains, was something to behold. I also have access to my building rooftop terrace which gives almost a complete sky.

In general, most people into stargazing will probably end up owning both a telescope and a pair of binoculars (but they probably won’t buy both at the same time).There should be no need for collimation. This is the process of adjusting the mirrors inside and is required with some telescopes. However, there are stories of people having to collimate Celestron binoculars and there are instructional videos on YouTube of people doing it themselves. This is my review based on my experience over the past few years as an amateur astronomer which I hope will be useful to you. But I’m not telling you anything you can’t already imagine, am I? So I can summarize roughly that the prices of the binoculars I have been talking about are between 100.- and 150 dollars, more or less. Congratulations on your new binos! a 20x80 was a nice decision to complement your 10x50s They will show amazing views of the gifted skies that you have in Mexico. Just do a favor to yourself and get a pair of O-III filters and you will multiply the fun observing nebulae!

Orion GiantView 16 x 80 ED. ED glasses and 4 degree FOV with 80mm is worth considering. I expect to see bright nebulas and clusters, some galaxies, planetary is not priority, for that I will get a telescope later on. Some of the planets of the solar system – including Jupiter and the rings of Saturn (these will be faint though) The objective lens diameter is 80 mm, while the maximum magnification is 20. Moreover, their BAK-4 prisms, big aperture and multi-coated optics will provide a fine viewing experience, with crisp images to enjoy.In my next trip to MX, (Tulancingo) I plan to bring my 15x70s to enjoy the high altitude - clear, dry skies of the Sierra Madre! Another feature not found on smaller binoculars is the Reflex Sight Rail (RSR) that acts like a balancing rail allowing the binos to mount to a tripod and users to perfectly balance them for ease of use. That’s essential when working with heavier, high magnification binoculars such as these because some tripod heads (such as ball-heads) may struggle to hold the binoculars at severe angles due to their length and weight. Astronomers will also find the removable rail helpful by attaching a red dot finderscope to the center support rod which, when aligned with the binoculars, can help users navigate to specific stars or deep-sky objects without having to guess their way round the night sky. We didn’t test out the finderscope during this review, but think having this for astronomical observations is very useful indeed. Should I buy the Celestron SkyMaster Pro 20x80 binoculars? Of course, with these binoculars you can count on a 20x magnification and an 80mm objective lens, giving you a wide field of view with a very large field of view.
