Looking for an alternative to a telescope for stargazing? The Celestron SkyMaster Pro 20x80 binoculars now $110 cheaper fit the bill and offer the same quality and performance you would expect from Celestron.
This deal includes a carrying case as well as a tripod adapter, though not a tripod itself. As amazing as these binoculars are, they are not light so we would recommend you buy one of the best tripods to support your stargazing or wildlife watching.
In our Celestron Skymaster Pro 20x80 binoculars review, we awarded them four and a half stars, remarking that "Everything about the polycarbonate and aluminum SkyMaster Pro 20x80 screams quality".
We found them extremely easy to focus and difficult to accidentally knock out of focus, giving us superb views of the Pleiades, the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules and the Andromeda Galaxy.
In short, if you can live with their 2.45 kg weight, this is a brilliant Black Friday deal. And if you cannot, consider one of the models in our best compact binoculars guide.
