Far simpler to use than a telescope, the Celestron 20x80 SkyMaster Pro ED Binocularsare made for astronomy and offer an easy way to explore the night sky. They're also an alternative to a spotting scope daytime terrestrial glassing, with good magnifying power and oversize objective lenses for a bright image. Extra-low dispersion glass and multiple layers of antireflective XLT coating combine to produce high-contrast views with accurate color fidelity. Binoculars of this size and magnifying power require stable support, so the SkyMaster Pro ED can be mounted on a tripod with an optional adapter. Special eyepiece threads allow the use of 1.25" astronomical filters to improve your viewing experience.
