The Celestron Skymaster 18-40×80 binoculars offer a range of features sure to please beginner and experienced binocular users alike. The package includes rubber eyepiece covers, a padded carrying bag and a tripod adapter.
A convenient zoom control can be easily reached with your thumb when holding the Skymaster 18-40×80 binoculars, making it easy to dial in the right amount of zoom for whatever you’re looking at.
While binoculars are a great alternative to telescopes for stargazing, they are of course also ideal for viewing wildlife, birdwatching and looking at just about anything that’s far away. As a personal testimony, I can attest to the crystal clear optics of Celestron’s Skymaster binoculars.
I used my own pair to view NASA’s Space Launch System rocket 3.2 miles (5.14 km) away as it sat waiting to launch from Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center. It took mere seconds to dial in the focus, and using a smartphone adapter, I was able to get my own pictures of the rocket before it blasted off towards the moon – right through one of my binoculars’ lenses.
One of our favorite pastimes here at Space.com is skywatching, and we know how technically challenging some telescopes can be. With that in mind, we’ve picked out plenty of binoculars to get you looking skyward in no time on our binocular deals page.
