Description

Big eyes for the skies!


Celestron's SkyMaster 25x100, large-aperture astronomy binoculars offer phenomenal performance for astronomical viewing. They are also a great choice for terrestrial use, especially over long distances.


Although marketed as the "SkyMaster" name, these astronomy binoculars are very often purchased for long-distance terrestrial viewing. They're perfect for use on a balcony or patio from a home with a view. Point any SkyMaster Binocular up to the stars and your eyes will pop with amazing star fields. Jupiter and its moons, the rings of Saturn, and globular star clusters are all very visible from any of the SkyMaster Series Binoculars. If you are fortunate enough to live in a dark-sky environment, such objects as galaxies and nebulae are also within reach of a Celestron SkyMaster Binocular.


All models feature high quality BaK-4 prisms and have multi-coatings for enhanced contrast. The SkyMaster Series Binoculars are available in SkyMaster 12x60, SkyMaster 15x70, SkyMaster 20x80 and the SkyMaster 25x100.


All of the Celestron SkyMaster binoculars are water-resistant and each is tripod adaptable. The SkyMaster 20x80 and SkyMaster 25x100 are waterproof and have an integrated tripold adapter rod for simple connection to any standard photographic tripod.


SkyMaster 25x100 Features:

  • Waterproof
  • Deluxe padded soft carry case
  • Multi-coated optics
  • High-quality BaK-4 prisms
  • Large aperture perfect for low light conditions and stargazing
  • Diopter adjustment for fine focusing

I had to fix it because the colimation was very bad when I got them.
There were two images and impossible to use.
Becouse I live in Monterrey Mexico,it was very difficult to return it to the USA..so I had to fix it here with a professional engienier.. it cost me 50 dollars..but now it is perfect.
The moon,jupiter and the his moons, the rings of saturn,the orion nebula are very clear.
I live in a house up in the montain and the view to the city of Monterrey is spectacular, so the binoculars are very good to see every thing down there.

Severe Chromatic Aberration

These binoculars suffer from severe chromatic aberration. This is a defect of optical lenses where different wavelengths (producing different colors) are diffracted, or bent, at different angles and produce colored halos around images...Read complete review

These binoculars suffer from severe chromatic aberration. This is a defect of optical lenses where different wavelengths (producing different colors) are diffracted, or bent, at different angles and produce colored halos around images. I experienced green and blue halos when observing. These types of defects are commonly seen were all the optics that are not fully multi-coated. I cannot recommend these binoculars for any use with this type of defect.[...]

Comments about Celestron SkyMaster 25x100mm Individual Focus Astronomy Binoculars:

I got these big binocs for astronomical viewing and could not believe the light gathering ability that they displayed. I had been told that light gathering is more important than magnification when it comes to celestial binoc usage and can say that I am now a believer. Although I have purchased and enjoyed other Celestron products, in the past, lets just say that these 25 X 100s made my zoom binocs seem like junk. I am very impressed with the clarity and overall viewing quality and especially enjoy using them for spectacular lunar observation, especially during the day. Yes...the moon does look fabulous during daylight hours with its craters and geographical detail being even more noticable than at night.
If you think, however, that your old camera tripod is going to cut it think again. Unless you have a truly robust head to your tripod it will not work with truly big binocs such as these. Also, your tripod, absolutely, must be tall enough to accomodate your fully upright postion when using these for astronomy. If you don't have a tall enough tripod it will be very difficult for you to focus your binocs as well as very uncomfortable.
Happy Viewing!!!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Celestron SkyMaster 25x100mm Individual Focus Astronomy Binoculars:

I am using these primarily for backyard astronomy, especially for lunar viewing. I am very familiar with Celestron products and have purchased other binocs from this manufacturer in the past. When it comes to light gathering these binocs, by far, out perform anything that I have used previously. Most people think that celestial viewing is about magnification but I have both been told as well as experienced that, when it comes to binoc astronomy at least, light gathering ability supercedes all other factors. Lets just say that my zoom binocs are junk compared to these fixed magnification 25 X 100s.
I am very impressed with these binocs with my only negative being that I miss the old shark skin Celestron feel. Also, if you think that the old tripod from your film-photo days is going to cut it think again. I highly recommend a tripod with a truly heavy duty head. This is a little tricky but believe me when I say that this is an absolute must! Also, choose a tripod that allows you to stand fully upright or you are not going to enjoy your viewing experience as much. Bending down gets old and makes focusing that much more difficult.
Happy viewing!!!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
