Digital camera reviews of Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars with Tripod Adapter
Digital camera Review: Best bang for the buck out there by far!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great quality. Built in tripod mount makes for easy fixed use. Overall very happy with this purchase.Digital camera Review: Best buy
Summary: 5 Stars
Flawless -- worth twice the price. Much lighter and more practical than the more expensive models
Note: no instructions for the tripod mount; unscrew the cap on the front that has the Celestron logo on it. Or skip the tripod and just move your grip out to the front of the binoculars for more stability.
Digital camera Review: Better than telescope
Summary: 4 Stars
We had originally purchased a telescope for our young daughters, ages 7 and 11, to stargaze with. It was too cumbersome, complicated, time-consuming and in the end we could still not see very well. After ordering the giant binoculars, we couldn't be happier. Easy to use, "point and shoot"...it's so much easier for beginning astronomers to use. And now we can take them camping as well.Digital camera Review: Big View, Small Price
Summary: 4 Stars
These binoculars provide a good tool for night time
sky viewing. Easier to carry than a telescope with
the advantage of using both eyes. The tripod mount
can be used with most any tripod with a standard screw mount.
The 15 power makes hand holding a challenge but with practice
they work great.
Digital camera Review: Biginners in Astronomy a Must!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this Sky Master 15x70 Binoculars from Celestron for about a month now since I've decided to pursue my fascination with astronomy. Before I started actually doing any backyard/amateur astronomy I have been listening to podcast i.e. astronomy cast and reading the book night watch by Terence Dickinson and they advice the use of binoculars for beginners. Although they advice to start with a 7x50 or 10x50 binoculars since it'll be eaier to handle and not much shaking I took my chance and baught this binoculars and I have no regrets. I would advice the use of a tripod for this binoculars though, I have been out at night just gazing the stars and planets whenever I have a chance since I got this binocular. I've seen faint stars that you wouldn't see with just your eye specially I'm here in the city, planets would appear much like a really bright star with this binocular the past few weeks Venus, Mars and Saturn are close to the constellation leo where I have been observing, you wont see saturns ring from this bad boy but you'll be able to tell it's saturn. This is a MUST for beginners in astronomy I'm exhausting as much as I can from this till I'm ready to buy my first telescope to go another level in amateur astronomy. Anyway, I'm learning a lot from this binocular and I'm glad I baught it and hey I can even use it when I go to the ballpark or when me and my son are at the zoo.
P.S. I've seen so many satellites whozzing by the sky while observing the not so dark sky.
Cheers!
