The Sky-Watcher 9x63 Binocular from Celestron is a sleek, superb quality binocular that rivals the very best models. They're typically judged as having exceptional performance for the price. The 9x63 model is great for big game or long distance birding in any light, and is also appropriate for astronomy use. They are nitrogen-purged waterproof and fogproof. Full size porro prism units will always have a place thanks to their great depth of field and three-dimensional views, and now you won't have to choose them with trepidation thanks to their waterproofing.
These Sky-Watchers have BAK4 prisms and are fully multicoated with twist-up eyecups for quick adjustment and optimum eye relief. They come with a protective rubber covering that offers a firm, slip less grip. The large center focus knob is a great convenience. A carrying case is included.

Comments about Celestron Sky-Watcher 9x63 Binocular:
The size of this bino is probably the largest still possible to use without a tripod. It has nice construction, great eye relief, and most importantly it is water (and thus fog) proof.
Unfortunately however, it has collimation issues. It is not terrible, but still obvious.
I've ordered the first pair by mail. Then came to exchange them. The few pairs I've tried (that were in stock) all had collimation issues to some degree.

Comments about Celestron Sky-Watcher 9x63 Binocular:
These binoculars are multi-purpose. I use them for sightseeing as well as looking at the stars. Although they are not as heavy as some binoculars, if you don't have a tripod, you need to steady them against something to prevent the image from bouncing around.
