Digital camera Review: Celestron SkyMaster Giant Binoculars with Tripod Adapter
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently became interested in astronomy and bought these binoculars to acclimate myself prior to buying a telescope. These are perfect for the casual person who likes to look at the night sky. They are not limited to night time use. If the conditions are right you can see brilliant detail of the craters on the moon. I use them every night and love them.Digital camera Review: Celestron Skymaster

Summary: 5 Stars
I have used the Celestron SkyMaster for celestial and terrestrial viewing and have found them quite good for both. The large objective lenses absorb enough light to bring in deep sky objects despite the rectifying prisms needed for most ground viewing.
For viewing animal life in forests and fields, the binocular is exceptionally good. For instance, for the past three years, we have had Great Horned Owls nesting in a tree in the forest which is the back of our home; with a 10x50 binocular the view was fascinating--but the 15x70 practically puts us in the nest.
A tripod is an advantage with these binoculars since they tremble in one's hands at that power, and you probably don't want them for stomping through the wilderness--that's when a simple 8x35 or a small zoom scope works well.
However, in the right place and for the right use, I've seen nothing better for the price.

Digital camera Review: Celestron Skymaster Binoculars
Summary: 4 Stars
A sturdy instrument for spotting celestial objects. The clear image they provide, and their unexpectedly low weight, makes these binoculars a fine accessory for any amateur, or even as a first "telescope" for the beginner. Excellent value for the money.
