SkyMasters are economically-priced large aperture offerings from Celestron. They're great for both astronomy and long-range terrestrial observing. The tripod adapter on the enormous 25x100 model provides support and increased rigidity, but be aware that these gargantuan lenses require an enormously strong tripod. The recommended tripod and head combinations listed as accessories here are not overkill for the application; actually, they are spot on. Slap this wonderful instrument upon an ultra beefy tripod/head combo and be amazed.

Comments about Celestron 25x100 SkyMaster Binocular:
These binoculars 25x100 were the most powerful i could find in my price range, more powerful are way more money. I am very happy with them, they have crystal clear viewing, i can see the moons of Jupiter pretty well. They are not tellascopes so don't expect to see the flag on the moon. But a full moon looks real crisp and quite fascinating. I would definitely recommend these to any one just starting out for sure. Get the tripod too, the celestron one is [$]. or so. [...] The tripod works very well too.

I used it very little as it was a gift for my Dad, but I found it to be impressive. You need a sturdy tripod. For the price, it is worthy.

Comments about Celestron 25x100 SkyMaster Binocular:
All the talk about loose screws and poor construction quality are lost on me. These are very nice and powerful and clear - definitely worth the money. And you can't beat the warrantee.
I use them for all kinds of leisure...very often it is hard to find what your looking at when you take your eyes away and see with normal vision.
These are stronger than the 'cheap' bushnell telescope I've had laying around.....Definitely a solid product.
Use a good tripod (10lbs for binoculars) and common sense with the mount and you'll do fine.
Night viewing is also great...seems to let a lot of light in...

Comments about Celestron 25x100 SkyMaster Binocular:
Sure is big! But collimation is decent in left and really not decent in right. Instructions say that's "normal" for big binoculars - that does not sound right to me!

I live on a hill and use them to look across the valley floor, they work great. I have had 3 pairs sent to me and all of them had flaws in the finsh, lumps under outside coating, dents and scratchs

Comments about Celestron 25x100 SkyMaster Binocular:
After doing alot of online research, I chose the Sky Master 25x100 and purchased them from my favorite camera store BH Photo. The first pair that I was sent had screws that looked like someone had tampered with. The 2nd pair had lumps under the outer covering and the 3rd pair has dents and lumps under the covering. As for the optical Quality: they look great. At this level they should also look great out of the box. The worst part is that each pair (all 3) have all had some kind of cosmetic flaw! Where is the Quality control?
