Product description

Celestron’s SkyMaster series of large aperture binoculars are a phenomenal value for high performance binoculars ideal for astronomical viewing or for terrestrial (land) use - especially over long distances. Each SkyMaster model features high quality BaK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast. Celestron has designed and engineered the larger SkyMaster models to meet the special demands of extended astronomical or terrestrial viewing sessions.

Binoculars come in a wide range of shapes and sizes these days, and an even wider range of prices. It's easy to spend less than $100 or more than $500 for what may appear to be, at least outwardly, comparable models. While they may look the same, they are probably quite different on the inside.

Recently, the binocular market has seen a flood of giant binoculars at prices that were unheard of just a few years ago. In general, giant binoculars are defined as those that magnify the view 10 times or more and have 70-mm or larger front (objective) lenses. It used to be that the least expensive giant binoculars cost in excess of $150, even $200. All that changed not long ago, when the bottom fell out of the price cellar. Now, several companies import giant binoculars that sell for half that, or less.

Celestron's 15x70 SkyMaster binoculars are one of the leaders in the low-price giant binocular arena. They certainly sound good on paper. The SkyMasters include multicoated optics and BaK-4 internal prisms, two features that promise brighter, better images, and key points to look for when judging a pair of binoculars. They also come with an adapter for attaching them to a photo tripod, which is a must to use them to their fullest, and a soft carrying case. But just because they are cheap doesn't always mean they are worth the price. Would it be better to save up for a more expensive pair?

To find the answer, I had an opportunity recently to judge the SkyMasters against a pair of Fujinon 16x70 FMT-SX binoculars , one of the finest pairs of giant binoculars sold today. Like the SkyMasters, the Fujinons feature BaK-4 prisms, but also have fully multicoated optics. As a general rule, superior coatings mean superior image sharpness and contrast. But then, that should be expected, given that the Fujinons cost many times more than the Celestrons.

While the Fujinons were clearly the better performer, the Celestron SkyMasters held up admirably. Image brightness, quality, and contrast were all remarkable considering their bargain price. Although images were a little soft across the outer 25% of the Celestron's field, the overall view was impressive nonetheless.

Some inexpensive binoculars have very sloppy focusing, causing the eyepieces to tilt and shift. Not so with the SkyMasters. I found that their center-focusing mechanism worked smoothly, with no apparently backlash or wobble. Eye relief (the distance you hold your eyes away from the eyepieces to see the full field) is stated to be 18 mm, a good distance for higher power binoculars and an important consideration if you must wear glasses when viewing. The SkyMasters are also light enough to support by hand for short periods of time, although buyers would be well advised to mount them on a sturdy photo tripod.

The bottom line is, if you are considering a pair of giant binoculars, whether for bird watching, stargazing, or another recreational use, and have a limited budget, Celestron's giant 15x70 SkyMasters represent an excellent value. --Phil Harrington, author of Star Ware and Star Watch

Pros:

• Exceptional value for the price
• Light enough to support by hand
• BaK-4 prisms
• Multicoated optics

Cons:

• Outer 25% of the field is soft and a little blurry
• Requires a tripod to use for extended periods

User questions & answers

Question:	how does the tripod adpater hook on? I got it today but im confused how that part hooks on? and then to the tripod
Answer:	Hi, in the middle of the skymaster, there is one circled logo of Celestron cap. Please remove by unscrew this. You can able to hook the tripod. Thanks.
Question:	why do so many people prefer these over the 20x80 and 25x
Answer:	15x is at the upper limit of what can be hand held. Higher powers would need a tripod to be steady enough. Even at 15x some people would need a tripod or something to lean against. Lower powers give wider fields of view and brighter images. Large binoculars such as 80mm are heavy and need a tripod regardless of magnification. If you want both bright images and high powers look into larger binoculars such as 80 or 100mm.
Question:	can one side be adjusted seperately for my vision? I have decent vision in left eye and poor vision in right eye. thanks
Answer:	Yes, first use the center adjustment to get it focused correctly for the left eye...now close your left eye and look only thru your right eye and adjust the right eyepiece until it comes into focus. Now you should be able to see clearly with both eyes!
Question:	I wondering why so many people have said these work better than their telescopes? If these are 15x and a cheap tele is 100x why are these so great
Answer:	The principal feature of a telescope is not magnification, but light gathering power. These 70mm binoculars gather about as much light as a 100mm telescope. But since you are using both eyes, the view will appear better. But even in my case, with a 13" diameter mirror in my scope, before I look for anything my binoculars are out checking out the field of view and much of the time even showing me what my telescope will be looking at. Binoculars force you to learn the sky and not be dependent on any coordinate system. They show you larger objects like the double cluster in Perseus, the Pleiades and Hyades star clusters in Taurus, the Beehive cluster in Cancer and even the Andromeda Galaxy better than you can in a telescope because you simply get to see the object in context. There are some large, face-on galaxies like M-33 and M-101, which are easier to spot in these binoculars than they are in a 10" telescope. Without the context of the black sky behind the object there is no contrast and you can't see it.Even with a large telescope, you'll spend most of your time observing at under 100 power. Selling telescopes by magnification is just taking advantage of newbies because you can obtain any magnification with any telescope depending on what eyepiece you use. The question is "will you be able to see anything?"

User questions & answers

Question:	Did you need to buy a "tripod adapter" for these
Answer:	No it fit the tripod just fine..
Question:	Would a good monopod be strong enough to support these binos
Answer:	Actually yeah you can. I just use a 20 dollar Opteka monopod I got years ago though and it's fine. I even tried it on a cheap $10 tripod meant for point and shoots and it held steady when you don't touch it too much.
Question:	With this pair not having focus or zoom lever, would the 25-125x80 be a better pair for astronomy searching
Answer:	I own the zoom model 25-125×80, and now I wish I had 25 x 100. Please DONT BE FOOL BY THE ZOOM FUNCTIONILITY. 25 x 100 will definitely give you crisp image because its prime lens. My zoom bino has some soft-image problem at the edges and it seems to be very common issue. Zoom is just useless. 100 aperture will give you more light and 25x is enough to see planets and stars. Again, having individual focus ring is better that you wont get in 25-125x80 model.
Question:	I am trying to decide between this model and the Celestron 25-125x80 which i would use at only the lower magnifications. Which should I get
Answer:	Hello! In my 50+ years as a user of hundreds of types of lenses, telescopes and binoculars I have found any "ZOOM" product is far less sharp than a fixed millimeter group of lenses. I currently purchased the Celestron 25 X 100 astronomy binoculars and could not be more pleased. Images are all very sharp with excellent contrast - both of which are extremely important when looking at the night sky as well as in terrestrial viewing. I would definitely recommend the 25 X 100 binocs. Hope this helped. Terry D

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these to heavy to use on a boat? To check out other boats or view things that may help with navigation or hazards. Spotting moorings ECt
Answer:	Perfect for maritime use. As a retired Navy officer used to using binocs from the bridge of a ship these do the job. I use them on my 19 foot fishing boat and have tied on a light weight float to them in the even a grandson drops them overboard
Question:	I know NOTHING about binoculars. I am looking for a decent pair for my husband who would be using them for police surveillance. Are these suitable
Answer:	No. Too powerful. Any magnification over 10x reduces the field of view seriously. Your husband will have a hard time finding the objects he wants to view, and, when they move suddenly, as in any kind of action, it will be hard to keep the binoculars on target. A pair of inexpensive (
Question:	Tripods for 25x70. Do I use the small Barska adapter or the screw on the bottom of binocs? What type tripod? If known, what's the exact name
Answer:	TRIPOD: Recommended tripod must take at least 4 lbs and upwards, I'd recommend this tripod; http://www.amazon.com/66-inch-Heavy-Duty-Tripod-Bag/dp/B00EVC9PQI/ADAPTER: The adapter included with the binoculars will work but to me its a bit too flimsy. I'll recommend http://www.amazon.com/Barska-AF10546-BARSKA-Binocular-Adaptor/dp/B000BYH8EQ/SCREW HOLES: The screw holes on the binoculars is located between the two outer objective lens and is covered with a cap which has the Celestron logo. Just unscrew the cap and you'll see the 1/4 inch hole where you'll attach the tripod adapter. The tripod adapter will now be attached to the tripod plate with 1/4 inch 20 screw, then you attach the tripod plate to the tripod and you can now enjoy your viewing.
Question:	I'm looking for some that would be good for plane spotting at low & high altitudes. Would these work
Answer:	That is one of the primary reason I bought the 25x70's. I also have the 15x70's but for plane observation the 25's get you closer. At 35,000 feet (as a reviewer said before) you can see the printing on the plane on a clear crisp day. At night, and this is amazing to me, you can see the windows of the plane with the light coming out of them. If the planes are lower, the views are even more spectacular. NOW, you WILL need a TRIPOD with a VIDEO HEAD to help you keep the binoculars steady and to track the plane. I also recommend the Planefinder App so you know what is flying over you and what is approaching your area. I spend hours looking at the flight traffic over my house and these 25x70's are perfect and totally add to my enjoyment of looking at high altitude aircraft.

User questions & answers

Question:	How would I go about using a tripod with these? What items would I need to get
Answer:	These are only 7x binoculars. You won't need a tripod until you get into higher magnifications. 7x50 used to be good standard binoculars for decades, because it offered enough magnification while still being able to easily hand-hold them steadily. At 10x it starts to get more difficult to keep them steady. 50mm lenses in them are just large enough to make images bright & sharp enough to see clear even in shady areas, shadows, & star gazing.
Question:	Can the focus be adjusted for near-sightedness
Answer:	Yes, it can be adjusted on the right eye piece to compensate for near sightedness. Helps me a lot since I have astigmatism in my right eye.
Question:	What are the farthest objects in the night sky that one could see with this specific pair of binoculars? Can you see any planets
Answer:	Well technically one can see the great Andromeda galaxy (M31) with relative ease and good resolution in the night sky. The galaxy is about 2.5 million light years from earth (15 million-trillion miles), which is pretty far away Other objects that can be well studied with these binoculars include the Orion Nebula (1600 light years away), the craters on the moon, the pleadies star cluster (425 light years away), and much more. One can study planets using these binoculars too. With these, one can make out the 4 largest moons of Jupiter, and the elliptical shape of Saturn and its rings. I've also used these to locate the distant planets Neptune and Uranus I'm the sky. Ultimately the quality of viewing will depend on dark-sky conditions (light pollution, etc)These are good binoculars for their price.
Question:	Will these be good for hunting
Answer:	Hey, I am completely, 100%, AGAINST hunting! Make that 2000X against it. But, for the love of Peat- leave the (may I assume you are a man?) alone. He asked a simple, genuine question, and you 3 jump on the man, ridicule him and make him a target ( no pun intended), for your sanctimonious vitriol on him. I hate the NRA, hunting, etc. but you know nothing about him and you judge him. Yea! Such BIG BOYS, hiding behind a screen, judging someone you haver met. But I would PROMISE you this, if an asteroid hit 1/2 the earth and we were scavengening for food, starving , I am going to be glad to be around the person who knows how to hunt food for my children. You don't have to agree with someone's principles, but it doesn't give you the right to be cruel. Shame on you!

Question:	I'd like to make sure i'll be able to look at the sun before i buy these binos. any tailor-made sun filters for this model? if not,any suggestions?tks
Answer:	You’ll have to search for any purpose made filters. Lacking those, if you have a solar filter for a telescope, mine for an 8” Celestron C8, you can create a homemade mount to hold that filter in front if the binos.
Question:	Why are there no pockets on the carrying case? No place to put the extra eyecups, lens cloth, or red dot rail

Answer:	I do not know. I purchased 12 x 70 for "normal," hand-held viewing under low light conditions. 25 power is too great for hand held viewing. I would think 10 or 12 x 50 to be fine for bird watching. Higher magnification, on a tripod seems to fit a telescope use better. Sorry to be of little help.
Question:	What is the IPD
Answer:	The Interpupillary Distance (max): 72mm (2.83") and Interpupillary Distance (min): 56mm (2.20").

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it Normal to kinda see a double image at full 125x magnification
Answer:	Yes, I really liked them at minimum magnification. I couldn't see well at the 125. It was double image and smaller and somewhat blurry. I was disappointed. I wanted something like you would see on an observatory. Like the space needle or a scenic view scope. I wanted to watch cruise ships in the distance but it wasn't really satisfied because I couldn't really see the people it was too small and uneven.
Question:	Will a camera tripod tripod work with these binoculars
Answer:	Yes I have used it with a tripod and a monopod. Actually it works better with either the tripod or resting it on something stationary. Otherwise your arms get the shakes from trying to hold these big boys up after a while and we all know what that does to viewing. I really enjoy mine
Question:	Are the actual dimensions of these 25-125/80 Skymasters 18" x 12" x 8"? I want to find a good protective carry case for them beforecI buy them
Answer:	No, those are not the actual dimensions of the 25-125 x 80 Celestron Skymaster binoculars, Model 71020. I own this pair.The Celestron product box it comes in is 16 1/8" tall by 10 7/8" wide by 7" deep.This product box also comes inside a Celestron shipping box that is 17 1/2" tall by 11 7/8" wide by 7 3/4" deep. This is likely the dimensions you have quoted.The exact manner in which these binoculars are stowed will determine the internal dimensions required in a hard case.As this set has a integral tripod mounting system (which can twist, or have its securing knob removed), along with the fact that the binoculars can 'fold' slightly for pupilary distance adjustment, the dimensions are actually variable for storage.The EXACT dimensions are -Height A: 13.500 inches (13 1/2" or 342.900 mm) with no caps in place, and eye relief down.Height B: 13.750 inches (13 3/4" or 349.250 mm) with all caps in place.Width A: 8.5625 inches (8 9/16" or 217.487 mm) when 'folded' (eye protection caps do not fit properly when binoculars are 'folded')Width B: 9.125 inches (9 1/8" or 231.775 mm) when 'unfolded'.Depth A: 4.000 inches (4" or 101.600 mm) when 'folded' and the tripod retention knob is removed.Depth B: 4.4375 inches (4 7/16" or 112.7125 mm) when 'unfolded' and the tripod retention knob is removed.Depth C: 4.750 inches (4 3/4" or 120.650 mm) when 'unfolded' and the tripod retention knob is left in place.So according to my EXACT measurements -The very smallest interior dimensions of a hard case would be by using Height A, Width A, and Depth A, which amounts to:13.5 inches by 8.5625 inches by 4 inches (462.375 cubic inches).The very largest interior dimensions of a hard case would be by using Height B, Width B, and Depth C, which amounts to:13.75 inches by 9.125 inches by 4.75 inches (595.976562 cubic inches)...So it all depends on how you configure the binoculars for storage that will determine what size hard case to acquire. Personally, I'd go with the larger case, so the protection caps can be used.If you concur, you might check into the Pelican "1485 Air" case w/ foam (about $161), or the Pelican "1450 Protector" case w/ foam (about $94), but these can be expensive.You might just take the 2 very same closed-cell foam inserts that come in the box and use them inside a hinged (2" down from the most expansive face) wood box you create for yourself with the interior dimensions of 15.5" by 10.5" by 6.5".Good luck, and let me know if you need any further information.
Question:	How good would these be to use to spot small things around 1000+ yards
Answer:	The question as written would be very difficult for me to answer. I don't have a good feel for what 1000 yards (more than 1/2 mile) looks like. Small is relative: compared to a car, a car window is small, compared to a bird, a birds eye is small. The thing that would not change is that you would need some kind of sturdy support. These are large, heavy binoculars and hand holding them will just cause you frustration.

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone having a problem with the focus dial creeking when you focus in and out? Had it for about a week and just noticed it
Answer:	Never had a problem. We have owned 2 for many years.
Question:	Is this suitable for sky gazing/ astronomy? Thank you
Answer:	I would say...a qualified "yes." You are going to have a nice wide field-of-view and sharp focus. The 40mm objectives are not going to allow a huge amount of light gathering but you will have portability and that counts for a lot - a light, sharp and accurate optic is more useful than a large and bulky choice. Even if that means giving up some "reach."
Question:	does this set of binocs have a separate focus for one eye, or is it a one step focus on a central dial
Answer:	Main central focus with dioptic adjustment for the right eyepiece.
Question:	with such a large field of view, is edge sharpness an issue with these
Answer:	I have not found edge sharpness to be an issue. These binoculars have worked well for me.

Product description

Not all binoculars are created equal, especially when they are expected to perform well in low light conditions. Observations during twilight and at night require larger optics to collect as much light as possible, but big lenses alone are not enough to ensure a superior viewing experience. It also takes quality glass and rugged construction to keep your binoculars safe and working well for years to come. Celestron’s large-aperture Echelon series binoculars were designed for use in low light conditions. Whether you are long-range glassing across a field or valley, or gazing at the splendors of the Milky Way, a pair of Celestron Echelon binoculars will get the job done. With an exit pupil of 3.5 mm, these binoculars deliver an amazing amount of light allowing you to see the most detail possible. The Echelon 20x70 model offers the highest magnification in the Echelon Series. Choose this model for picking out small subjects at the longest distances, or for high-magnification viewing of celestial objects. Superb Optical Quality - Celestron Echelon binoculars sport high quality 70 mm objective lenses made in Japan. Superior BaK-4 prisms were chosen for maximum contrast and sharpness, and all air-to-glass surfaces are multi-coated with Celestron’s proprietary XLT optical coatings—the same high transmission coatings used on our observatory-grade telescopes to increase contrast and resolution. Assembled in the USA - Celestron Echelon binoculars are manufactured using quality Japanese optics and are assembled by hand by skilled technicians in Southern California. Quality Construction - Each Echelon binocular housing is made of aluminum alloy, to keep them strong yet lightweight, an important factor when considering a big binocular purchase. Durable rubber armor covers the aluminum housing for a slip-free grip and protection against the occasional bump or ding. These binoculars are fully waterproof and are nitrogen-purged to seal the optics against fog, dew, and other forms of moisture. This means you can use your Echelon binocular in damp conditions without having to pack up and call it a day when unexpected weather makes an appearance. Includes Waterproof Hard Case - Echelon binoculars come with a high quality waterproof hard case for ultimate protection against dust, moisture, and rough handling. A molded foam insert cradles the binoculars perfectly, keeping them safe and sound no matter where your journeys take you! Individual Focus - Echelon binoculars use an individual eye focus system, enabling you to rotate each eyepiece to set the proper focus for your right and left eye. Once set, you should be able to use your binoculars at a moment’s notice and focus sharply at infinity, the normal distance desired for long-range observations. Should you wish to share your binocular with others, it is fast and simple to adjust the focus for their vision requirements. Extended Eye Relief - The Celestron 20x70 Echelon Binoculars have 19.5 mm of eye relief, making them comfortable for all users, whether they wear eyeglasses or not. The rubber eyecups position your eyes at the perfect distance from the optics for a full field of view. Tripod Adaptable - Echelon binoculars are easily attached to a photographic tripod for extended observing sessions. A binocular tripod adapter (sold separately) is used to make the connection between the binoculars and a standard tripod, and is especially helpful for vibration-free observations of the night sky.

• Enjoy low light observing with these large aperture 70 millimeter binoculars.  Their 3.5 millimeter exit pupil allows you to see amazing detail, even in the shadows.  Also great for astronomy
• Fully waterproof for protection against the elements and nitrogen-purged to prevent internal fogging
• Hand assembled in the USA from high quality Japanese optics, using Celestron’s proprietary XLT coating technology for superior optical performance

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the smart phone adapter be connected to this binocular for photography using Samsung S
Answer:	According to the manufacturer the cell phone adapter "Works with a wide range of mobile phone models, including all the latest devices from Samsung, Google, and Apple."
Question:	whats the difference between the skymaster 15x70 ($70) and the 20x70 ($660) other than zoom. why is the 20x so much more expensive
Answer:	Thank you for your enquiry. The answer is quite simple, the principle reason is the quality of the lenses. If you would like to view objects in crystal clear or high definition quality, then the Echelon Binoculars are the best choice! You'll be amazed by the quality of this product!
Question:	Will they preform at high altitudes
Answer:	I can't see why not! There should be no problem at all!
Question:	Are the lenses real "ED" Glass
Answer:	No. While the Echelon 20x70 binocular does feature an exquisite optical system, it does not use ED glass in its lens array.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these easy to adjust? Are they easy to keep in the position you want them in or do they come loose after use
Answer:	You can see the Moon and Saturn, and stars. How far can you see a specific item with sufficient definition to identify it? Determine how far you can do so with the naked eye and multiply by the binocular's magnifivation, e.g., if you can identify a person in a crowd at 100 yards easily, you will be able to do so equally well at 1000 yards with a 10x binocular. A bird at 50 yards will appear through the binoculars as it was 5 yards away.
Question:	can you see much in dim light
Answer:	Yes it does. It is a soft case.
Question:	What is the optical and image quality of the 10 x 50 binoculars
Answer:	Usually eye relief of 11mm or more works good for people with glasses. This one has 17mm eye relief. So this one should be okay. Again, this is theoretical and personal comfort needs to be taken into account.
Question:	Is there a hard case that these binoculars will fit nicely into
Answer:	10x magnification versus 8x magnification. If you're bird-watching, hunting, etc., 10x is better. If you're watching a football game, needing low light capability, or genersl-purpose observation, e.g., standing watch on a ship 8x is better.
