Celestron Skymaster 20-100x70 Zoom

Much like a scope, these binoculars give you the ability to scan an area on a lower setting and then once you have located your intended subject, zoom in using the lever located on the right eye-piece to get a more detailed view. From a minimum setting of 20x, right up to 100x the range is very impressive and certainly adds to their versatility making them suitable for astronomical and long-distance land use.
The large 70mm objective ensures a good volume of light is gathered for a bright, good quality image, however, it is important to note that the low light performance will vary depending on the level of magnification that you are using.
Due to the high power as well as the size and weight of these SkyMaster binoculars, a tripod adapter is included to make it easy to attach to a tripod and thus enable vibration free images, hands-free use to eliminate arm fatigue and make it easy to share a particular view with friends.
At lower powers, the level of eye-relief is excellent and will be sufficient for eyeglass wearers although this reduces as you increase the zoom and so may not be ideal for use with glasses at maximum powers.

About Celestron SkyMaster Binoculars

Award winning SkyMaster series by Celestron offers one of the best binoculars for astronomical and terrestrial viewing. Extreme power and large objective lenses offer incredible view-through with extreme detail in the most challenging light conditions. With SkyMaster binoculars, you are able to observe stars, planets, comets, galaxies and more. The smallest in the series with SkyMaster 8x56 configuration received the Space.com's 2014 Editor's award for being the best medium astronomy binocular and SkyMaster 25x100 as the best astronomy binoculars. There are also two zoom version available to be able to change magnifications without moving the position. The binoculars have Porro prism system with multi-coatings on glass surfaces (except DX models which are fully multi-coated) and are splash-proof and enclosed in rubber armoring for protection.

Basic Features

The SkyMaster binoculars are one of the most powerful binoculars on the market offering models with 15x, 20x and 25x magnifications combined with large objective lenses, from 56mm to 100mm. This configuration allows you to use them in poorest lighting conditions in the wildlife and for astronomy applications. Two of the models also offer variable magnifications, so you can get finer details without moving the position. They are made out of aluminum housing enclosed in rubber armouring for maximal protection against impacts and abrasions. The rubber armoring is also rugged to prevent any sudden slips. The pocket sized binoculars have a roof prism design to make them more compact and light, and bigger models have a Porro prism system to make them brighter. The binoculars are splash-proof, tightly sealed to not get damaged when using them in the damp areas.

Optical Properties

SkyMasters are equipped with high-quality BaK-4 prisms for better light transmission and multi-coated lenses to help not only with brightness, but also to enhance the contrast and colors. This also helps to prevent the chromatic aberration, glaring and internal reflections. The smallest pocket sized models are fully-multi coated to help provide better images since they are using less bright roof prism system. All the models offer central focusing mechanism with grippy wheel that allows you to make quick adjustments with the help of right-eye diopter. Eyecups are foldable, but offer very generous eye-relief, and you can make it perfect even for eyeglass wearers.

Accessories

SkyMaster binoculars comes in case for storage and protection and binocular strap. They are also equipped with objective lens covers and eyecups covers to protect the lenses, but are not included in smaller roof prism models.
