Celestron Skymaster 71008 25x70 Binocular (Black)

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.

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

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.

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.

Very nice product 👌.Fully satisfied.

I ordered Meade 15X70 before this one and had to return them since they were not waterproof. They were also quite heavy and made tripod indispensable as a tool. Then I ordered Celestron 25X70 as the magnification was much more, however with reduced field of view. I was mesmerized to see Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy and some very faint star clusters with this one. What surprised me the most was it's lighter weight compared to Meade and a better build quality. Optics were way better and of superior coating. I saw Jupiter with four moons with quite ease, however even with the most sturdy tripod, you wouldn't be able to see belts on Jupiter or rings of Saturn. Your only best bet will be with deep sky objects which require expertise and then too, you shouldn't expect an exemplary view but just some greyish patches of clusters and faint luminaries. However, as an astronomer, this is worth every penny that you'll invest in these binoculars.

Watching d moon was d best experience. I set d binoculars on tripod set to watch d moon. My Father in law (70+) said he can see d moon anyways so wouldn't want to see through d binoculars. Reluctantly he watched it n his happiness had no bounds. He kept repeating that it's so clear n detail without his specs, probably d most polished vision of moon in his entire life.You have to have d tripod or else u will give up on using it further. Learning to adjust lens takes time. Heavy to carry binoculars and tripod on vacation. Better to have enough time n patience to get best experience

If I focus right glass the left get blurry. I tried a lot but that fucusing is missing and the product is having the fault in it. In need replacement.
