I'm very happy with my new Celestron 20x80 SkyMaster binoculars. I'm new to astronomy and decided to get a decent pair of astro binocs for wide-field observing. The moon and star clusters are amazing to view through the big binoculars. There a bit heavy, almost six pounds, but I adapted an inexpensive digital camera tripod and made a binocular mount. The mount features a hinged platform for a Rigel QuikFinder.Brent Allen Parrish[@]

I got these binoculars to look at ships on the ocean from our beach house. I keep them mounted on a tripod. They provide good magnification, and a clear image. I find them hard to focus tough; the focus ring is very sloppy on center.
I've been enjoying them for several months, until the tripod mount adapter on the binoculars stripped out. It's made of aluminum, and is too light for binoculars as heavy as these. Not sure what I'll do if I can't get a replacement. They are too big for me to hand hold

Great Product. Great lighting at night. Given weight and all the shaking you definitely need a tripod

Huge pair of binoculars ! Need a tripod due to weight and stabilization, but planned on it prior to purchase. Bought it for Astrology gazing and it will meet my expectations. Great deal for the money. Can't wait to spend more time using them.

Fast delivery and well packed in a double box.

Q1: These Binoculars are "water resistant" rather than waterproof. Will a sudden change in temperature produce condensation within the instrument?
A: It is possible that fogging will result of a temperature change from cool to warm. It's important to note that "water resistant" is the same as "weather proofed" in that they can handle moisture and small amounts of exposure to water (rain, etc.) but prolonged exposure may result in water penetrating the binocular.
Q2: How do I determine what power is the strongest? I want something maybe twice as strong as the average binoculars most retailers sell.
A: The Celestron SkyMaster 20x80 Center Focus Binoculars have a power of 20x, while the most popular binoculars are 8x or 10x.
