Celestron SkyMaster PRO ED 20×80 binocular

The Celestron SkyMaster PRO ED range represents the best you can look for in binoculars. They include all of Celestron's most advanced proprietary technologies and pack premium technical features into a large diameter with incredible brightness. The SkyMaster Pro ED series binoculars are ideal for both terrestrial and astronomical use, even in harsh environmental conditions thanks to the nitrogen sealed filling of the binocular body.

The binoculars of the SkyMaster Pro ED series offer exceptional sharpness over the entire field, razor-sharp, high-contrast images with excellent colour correction. This performance is due to the use of Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lenses that virtually eliminate chromatic aberration. Celestron's high-quality ED glass provides brighter and sharper images than competitors, the difference being particularly noticeable in low light.

The optics are also treated on all surfaces with the famous and proprietary Celestron XLT multi-coating to ensure very high contrast values and a high light transmission value, making these binoculars ideal for use especially in low light conditions, such as at night in twilight.

In addition to the removable twist-cup lens hood on both eyepieces, which is ideal for spectacle wearers, it is also possible to screw in astronomical filters, such as light-pollution or polarising filters, via a 31.8mm (astronomical standard 1.25") thread.

The SkyMaster Pro ED series binoculars feature a rubberized waterproof body for a firm and secure grip, fully waterproof to IPX7 standard and are equipped with a large knurled central focusing knob. Nitrogen filling allows use even in extreme conditions such as those often encountered in dusty and humid environments.

Pointing at celestial objects or distant objects that are difficult to frame using the classic method is aided by the option of attaching a red dot finder. Framing distant objects has never been easier.

The use of the Celestron SkyMaster PRO 20×80 binoculars is strongly recommended with the support of a sturdy tripod (not included), as the weight of the binoculars and the high magnifications involved would not allow for stable viewing and precise focusing when free-handed. Thanks to the central rod integrated into the body of the binoculars and the adjustable tripod attachment screw along the rod, the binoculars can be balanced correctly for easy and precise aiming of moving subjects and deep-sky astronomical objects.

The Celestron SkyMaster PRO ED binoculars with 80mm lenses have an unrivalled brightness output, much more than the 70mm models, especially at times when the light is poor, making them suitable for observation at dawn and dusk and in dense forest areas. They are also perfect for observing wide-field astronomical objects, but are also suitable for daytime use from terraces, balconies or observation posts. The virtual absence of chromatic aberration also makes it possible to observe the Moon and individual stars as well as clusters and the major planets with exceptional sharpness.
