In the realm of amateur astronomy and distant observation, the Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED binoculars emerge as the preferred choice. These binoculars incorporate state-of-the-art optics, coatings, internal components, and housing materials, establishing a new standard for astronomy enthusiasts.
ED Objective Lenses:
Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass virtually eradicates chromatic aberration, ensuring edge-to-edge sharpness and vivid images with remarkable color correction. The visual experience through the SkyMaster Pro ED is unparalleled.
Optical Brilliance:
Celestron's high-quality ED glass surpasses non-ED binoculars, delivering brighter and sharper images. This distinction is particularly evident in challenging low-light conditions, setting the SkyMaster Pro ED apart from the rest.
Coatings and Prisms:
Fully multi-coated lenses, coupled with Celestron's proprietary XLT optical coating technology, minimize reflectivity, resulting in higher optical throughput across the visible light spectrum. The high-quality BaK-4 prisms further enhance light transmission, ensuring brighter and more detailed views.
80mm Objective Lenses:
The large objective lenses provide exceptional light-gathering ability for superior low-light performance. Ideal for celestial observations, lunar and planetary studies, and exploring deep-sky objects, the SkyMaster Pro ED also excels in long-distance land-based viewing during dawn or dusk.
Robust Build for Lasting Durability
The Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED is encased in custom-designed rubber armour and a sturdy chassis, offering protection without compromising portability. With thoughtful design elements like retractable eyecups and over 15mm of eye relief, the binocular guarantees comfortable use for both eyeglass and non-eyeglass wearers.
Tripod-Adaptable:
The binocular features a built-in tripod adapter on the balance compensation rail, allowing easy mounting on standard photographic tripods or monopods. This feature is especially beneficial for extended viewing sessions or digiscoping.
