Celestron – SkyMaster Giant 15×70 Binoculars Astronomy Binoculars – Binoculars for Stargazing and Long Distance Viewing – Includes Tripod Adapter and Case
Description
The Celestron SkyMaster 15x70mm binocular is the ideal
choice for amateur astronomers or anyone who observes at great distances. The
70mm objective lenses have excellent light-gathering capabilities, delivering
superior low-light performance, even in the dimmest conditions. Choose
SkyMaster for dusk, dawn, and nighttime astronomical viewing. Moreover, the
prisms inside the binocular are made of high-quality BaK-4 glass so that more
light is reflected off their internal faces and passes through to the eye. The
multi-coated lenses and BaK-4 prisms maximize light transmission for
remarkably bright, highly detailed images. The binocular’s durable exterior
housing protects your SkyMaster from damage without weighing you down. Viewing
through the SkyMaster binoculars is comfortable for eyeglass and non-eyeglass
wearers, thanks to the foldable rubber eyecup. The SkyMaster binocular is
tripod-adaptable, so you can use the built-in binocular tripod adapter to
mount it on any standard photographic tripod or monopod for extended viewing
or digiscoping (photography through the eyepiece). Buy with confidence from
the world’s No.1 telescope brand and a leading binocular manufacturer, based
in California since 1960. You’ll also receive a Limited Lifetime warranty and
unlimited access to technical support from our team of US-based experts.
Binoculars come in a wide range of shapes and sizes these days, and
an even wider range of prices. It’s easy to spend less than $100 or more than
$500 for what may appear to be, at least outwardly, comparable models. While
they may look the same, they are probably quite different on the inside. From
