Celestron Skymaster 71008 25x70 Binocular (Black)

I bought this for around ₹8,000 with card offers, the best ₹8K I’ve spent so far. This binocular is excellent for sky and stargazing. If your budget is around ₹10,000 and you’re looking for a powerful astronomy binocular, go for this without a second thought. The lens quality is very good, and the overall build feels solid and well-engineered. What I was able to see through this binocular: - Full Moon – The Moon does not fully occupy the lens; it covers roughly 60–70% of the field of view, which gives great perspective and clarity. - Jupiter and its 4 moons – Clearly visible on a good night. - A few star clusters – Bright and beautiful. - Orion’s Belt – You cannot see all three stars at once; they can only be viewed separately, which gives a good idea of the high zoom level. Important Note: This binocular is heavy, so a strong and sturdy tripod is mandatory (don’t go for cheap ones). If you want to capture photos through the binoculars, a phone mount is also recommended. I still remember the night I pointed this binocular at the sky and saw a star cluster for the first time, it was truly magical. If you are a space enthusiast, this is an absolute must-buy. Highly recommended!

Great binoculars for ships, bird watching and some basic level astronomy. The moon craters are visible using this binoculars. They are heavy so a tripod is a must have. Even after a tripod, even small shakes will cause the vision to wobble, so if you are planning to carry it with you, this isn’t a good fit. It’s a good fit for stationary setup on a tripod in a balcony. Price is good given that you’ll have to pay for quality, looks great too.

I am quiet ok with the magnification offered at this price. I would say that the tripod adapter was not that good as i expected, but yeah it is usable… It is excellent for terrestrial viewing in my opinion. When it comes to celestial views its good, but it would need some practice to handle the shakiness. Cons: 1. Slightly overpriced. 2. Low quality tripod adapter. 3. Other than this, when i ordered this for the first time, it came without a tripod adapter. I had to requested a replacement which led me to wait for 5 more days, which is awful. Overall i am happy with product now, i will share my experience with it after using it for 6 months or so.

An Excellent binoculars, value for money. Very good range for both celestial and terrestrial viewing. Able to see details of moon (Sea of Serenity, Tranquility, Crises,Fecundity, Nectar, Vapours, Cold, Craters - Tycho, Plato, Copernicus and Kepler etc.), Jupiter and Saturn. Since it's heavy needs tripod. But Clestron doesn't provide tripod with it.

Please don't buy. Save the money!!

Best for night watching... good clarity.. feels heavy, grip strength is good ... attaching a tripod will be a must step to be done

This is amazing binoc. The zoom is relaly great. For near viewing it's fine but for far tripod or any stand would be needed. Too much shaky for far away obj. Night time viewing is also good. Light capture is good Becoz of bigger lenses. Does not dim far lights like stars.

Image is clear and crisp can see Jupiter's moon and moon craters easily. But a sturdy and heavy tripod is needed for stable views
