Celestron Skymaster 71008 25x70 Binocular (Black)

I bought this for around ₹8,000 with card offers, the best ₹8K I’ve spent so far. This binocular is excellent for sky and stargazing. If your budget is around ₹10,000 and you’re looking for a powerful astronomy binocular, go for this without a second thought. The lens quality is very good, and the overall build feels solid and well-engineered. What I was able to see through this binocular: - Full Moon – The Moon does not fully occupy the lens; it covers roughly 60–70% of the field of view, which gives great perspective and clarity. - Jupiter and its 4 moons – Clearly visible on a good night. - A few star clusters – Bright and beautiful. - Orion’s Belt – You cannot see all three stars at once; they can only be viewed separately, which gives a good idea of the high zoom level. Important Note: This binocular is heavy, so a strong and sturdy tripod is mandatory (don’t go for cheap ones). If you want to capture photos through the binoculars, a phone mount is also recommended. I still remember the night I pointed this binocular at the sky and saw a star cluster for the first time, it was truly magical. If you are a space enthusiast, this is an absolute must-buy. Highly recommended!

Great binoculars for ships, bird watching and some basic level astronomy. The moon craters are visible using this binoculars. They are heavy so a tripod is a must have. Even after a tripod, even small shakes will cause the vision to wobble, so if you are planning to carry it with you, this isn’t a good fit. It’s a good fit for stationary setup on a tripod in a balcony. Price is good given that you’ll have to pay for quality, looks great too.

I am quiet ok with the magnification offered at this price. I would say that the tripod adapter was not that good as i expected, but yeah it is usable… It is excellent for terrestrial viewing in my opinion. When it comes to celestial views its good, but it would need some practice to handle the shakiness. Cons: 1. Slightly overpriced. 2. Low quality tripod adapter. 3. Other than this, when i ordered this for the first time, it came without a tripod adapter. I had to requested a replacement which led me to wait for 5 more days, which is awful. Overall i am happy with product now, i will share my experience with it after using it for 6 months or so.

Best for night watching... good clarity.. feels heavy, grip strength is good ... attaching a tripod will be a must step to be done

Please don't buy. Save the money!!

An Excellent binoculars, value for money. Very good range for both celestial and terrestrial viewing. Able to see details of moon (Sea of Serenity, Tranquility, Crises,Fecundity, Nectar, Vapours, Cold, Craters - Tycho, Plato, Copernicus and Kepler etc.), Jupiter and Saturn. Since it's heavy needs tripod. But Clestron doesn't provide tripod with it.

This is amazing binoc. The zoom is relaly great. For near viewing it's fine but for far tripod or any stand would be needed. Too much shaky for far away obj. Night time viewing is also good. Light capture is good Becoz of bigger lenses. Does not dim far lights like stars.

Image is clear and crisp can see Jupiter's moon and moon craters easily. But a sturdy and heavy tripod is needed for stable views

Ay yüzeyini ve Starlink uydularını gayet net gösteriyor, açıkçası bu kadar beklemiyordum. Tek sorun sabit tutabilmek, haliyle biraz ağır çünkü. Yanında küçük bir tripod düşünülebilir.

Hace falta decirlo, a mi parecer, una excelente relación calidad/precio, vienen cuidados, limpios, las lentes son de excelente calidad, se sienten robustos y cumplen lo que prometen. Sin embargo hay que aclarar, estos binóculares requieren de un tripié, es posible observar con ellos con solo las manos pero pesan bastante y se vuelve cansado, igualmente es necesario mencionar que el aumento (el cual es increíble para observación de astros, la luna, paisajes etc) deja al límite la posibilidad de tener una imágen estable sin tripié. Hace unos días estuve observando el cielo en busca del cometa C/2022 E3 (ZTF), el famoso cometa verde, a pesar de lo tenúe que era y de estar cerca de una ciudad densa logré vislumbrar el manchón verde del cometa, ver nebulosas como orión o conjuntos estelares como las pleyades es increíble, desde que los tengo observo el cielo cada noche (si el clima se presta claro). Algo más, si quieres estos binóculares es posible que estés pensando también en un teléscopio, la realidad es que comprar estos binóculares es una excelente opción, no solo tienen el alcance y la luminosidad suficiente para competir con un telescopio de bajo costo sino que son mucho más económicos (en perspectiva, se requeriría de un telescopio de cielo profundo de al menos 4 mil a 6 mil pesos), son mucho más comodos de transportar por obvias razones y en general, a menos que quieras dedicarte de lleno a la astronomía, unos binoculares como estos son una alternativa más que excelente. Para teminar, dejé un par de fotos, la primera es como se ve con los binoculares y el adaptador para teléfono, la segunda es una toma con un teleobjetivo 300mm.

ممتاز ولكن وزنه ثقيل وبدون ستاند صعب يثبت اما التقريب فائق والرؤية واضحة والتغليف ممتاز

Great powerful binoculars,i didn't get to use them yet at night because it has been cloudy since I got them, they are good for looking at land objects but hopefully soon I will get a clear night ,I already have a pair of zoom binoculars but these are way better than the zoom binoculars.clear skies to all,thanks.

It is very hard to look at a specific point, as it magnitudes huge, it shakes even if you use a tripod, buy a metal adapter as the included plastic one does not do the job, every tiny touch makes a huge vibration. I would go with a less magnification if you plan to use for general purposes. Otherwise the quality is good and the image is sharp! Update: After a while the vibration of the objects due to 25x (even with a tripod) becomes more annoying, go with less magnification like 15x.
