Save $35 on a binocular with a good combination of magnification, aperture and portability. It allows you to peer deep into the universe for deep-sky objects, and nitrogen in the lenses will stop the binoculars from misting up. It's waterproof and robust, making it perfect for the field.


The binoculars include 15x magnification and 70mm objective lenses that provide a sharp, wide-field view of the sky along with the chance to see deep-sky objects. You can repurpose the binocular during the day for birdwatching or other bright-sky pursuits, too.

We'd recommend using a tripod to reduce the shakes. A tripod adapter does come with the binocular. Paired with the BaK-4 prisms you will get a nice, sharp view of whatever you are looking at. Rubber housing and the water-resistant construction will let you use the binoculars even if it's slightly wet out.

Consensus: Rated as one of our top binoculars at 4.5 stars, the Celestron SkyMaster Pro 15x70 combines portability, magnification and sheer toughness to work hard in the field. Both amateurs and pros alike will appreciate the flexibility of the binocular in multiple sky conditions.
