I am interested in daytime viewing of the cityscape from my terrace and landscapes in the country. Night viewing is secondary. Are these binoculars appropriate?
Asked by: Barbara
These would work great, yes. However keep in mind they might be too heavy to hold steady, so you might need to mount them on a Tripod at some point. For your use these would be suitable.

Has anyone had the problem with the Celeston 15x70 Skymaster not being collomated? I saw the procedure on youtube and it does not look easy to do. I really don't want to go through this hassle.

The SkyMaster 15x70 binocular is ideal for viewing the moon, although it is best to mount the binocular to a tripod for steadier views.

question

i want binoculars to see the evening sky. what do the numbers 25x70, 20x80, 25x100, etc, describe? thanks
Asked by: Anonymous
I'd suggest you go with a lower magnification, such as a 15 x 70. The higher the magnification, the harder it is to hold the binoculars steady. Even at 15 x it is challenging to hold. You need to brace yourself. If you want to go higher, you need a tripod. The other factors to consider are weight and cost which both generally goes along with the higher diameter.

question

Everyone is saying that these binoculars are really heavy, however its only 1.5 kg. Does it become very uncomfortable for a binocular, or is there add on weight?
Asked by: Pranay J.
I dont consider binoculars heavy. I normally have them mounted on tripod. When not the little extra weight helps steady them. Good buy for the money. I have recommended to a couple friends.
