Product Information

You’ll likely not need to lean or worry about them shaking. This is unlike the higher powered and more expensive binoculars, (like the 20x80s) which will really need a Tripod/Mount. Magnification and Objective Lens– Evaluating the balance between magnification and lens size for optimal viewing Nikon is no stranger to high-quality optics having manufactured them (and some of the best cameras) for over 100 years. The Nikon Monarch 5 20x56 sits near the top of their binocular line-up and this roof prism-type binocular weds a powerful 20x magnification to a relatively gargantuan 56mm objective lens to let in plenty of available light. This makes it another key contender for amateur astronomers as long as your budget will stretch.

Celestron's mid-size Outland X Series was designed to meet the needs of every outdoor enthusiast, from birders and hunters to sports fans to travelers. The optics are multi-coated to obtain high resolution and high contrast views. The prism are made of BaK-4 glass to give you enhanced color fidelity. So let’s carry on with our Celestron Skymaster 12×60 Binoculars review and explore the product’s pricing.It’s difficult for individuals with glasses to find binoculars that aren’t uncomfortable or have a shorter-than-average eye relief distance. The folding eyecups, dynamic diopter adjustment, and long eye relief distance are all ideal for overcoming optical difficulties.

In other words, when you look through them a double image appears. One of the major benefits of purchasing Celestron binoculars is that this brand has stellar (no pun intended) customer service. This means that by using prisms, the binoculars can provide you with greater magnification without increasing the size of the binoculars and keeping the weight down. For most glasses, you would need around 15mm space to ensure the best comfort. However, the 12x60s come with up to 17mm giving you plenty of extra room. Another thing to consider is that there will be some chromatic aberration when you try to observe the brightest stars, the moon and some of the planets.This will allow you to get a good field of view irrespective of whether you are wearing your glasses when viewing or not. Their ability to provide clear and detailed views of both celestial and terrestrial subjects adds to their appeal. Not everyone can justify paying for binoculars solely for their kids to use. Instead, you might want to find a great quality pair that the whole family can share, but that are appropriate and comfortable for kids to use. If that is the case, look no further than Nikon — a photography and optics brand specializing in viewing and imaging for over 100 years.

It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the Binoculars category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget.

As for some examples of what you will be able to see with them, my 12x60s have enabled me to observe the dark nebulae in Cygnus and the dust lane of M31. Built around a Porro Prism design featuring BaK-4 glass and boasting multi-coated optics for bright and detailed views, the objective lenses of 60mm let in heaps of light — ideal for sky-watching.Of course, as they get bigger they both cost and weigh a lot more so a tripod will be handy to give your arms a rest. The sharpness and clarity they provide make lunar gazing a truly immersive experience. Deep-Sky Observations The Porro prisms employed in the SkyMaster 15x70s, as well as with most other good-quality binoculars, are made from BaK-4 crown glass. This surpasses the quality of the more prevalent BK7 prisms found in less expensive or inferior products. BaK-4 prisms are generally crafted to a higher standard than cheap BK7 ones, and binoculars utilizing these prisms typically do not have undersized prisms that could cause clipping or vignetting of the field of view. The exit pupils are nearly perfect circles, and the aperture of these binoculars is a genuine 70mm and has not been stopped down internally by a significant amount, with only the slightest clipping around one edge of the exit pupil, not enough to affect views. Stargazing binoculars don't come much more perfect than these. The Celestron SkyMaster Pro 20x80 binoculars have huge magnification and massive objective lenses to get you closer to dimmer objects than almost any other binocular in our guide.
