Description
The Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED 20×80 Binoculars are built for serious stargazers and long-range observers who want bright, sharp, and highly detailed views. Whether you are exploring deep-space objects, admiring the Moon’s craters, or scanning distant landscapes on Earth, these binoculars deliver impressive optical performance paired with professional features.
At the core of the SkyMaster Pro ED 20×80 are its large 80mm objective lenses. These oversized lenses collect plenty of light, which makes them an excellent choice for low-light conditions — including stargazing at dusk, dawn, or under dark skies. The powerful 20x magnification pulls distant objects in close, revealing fine details that are impossible to see with the naked eye or smaller binoculars.
One of the standout features of this model is its Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass. This advanced optical material dramatically reduces chromatic aberration — the unwanted color fringing that can appear around bright subjects — and delivers images with superior sharpness, natural color, and high contrast. Whether you are observing the rings of Saturn or the feathers on a distant bird, the views are crisp and true to life.
The BaK-4 prisms and fully multi-coated optics with Celestron’s XLT coatings help maximize light transmission across the entire optical path. The result is brighter, more detailed images, even when viewing faint celestial targets like star clusters, galaxies, or nebulae.
The SkyMaster Pro ED 20×80 binoculars also feature threaded eyepieces that accept standard 1.25” astronomical filters (sold separately). This allows you to customize your viewing experience — for example, you can use light pollution filters to improve contrast when observing from urban areas, or color filters to reveal more surface detail on the Moon and planets.
The classic Porro prism optical design offers another big advantage: it delivers a wider, more natural-looking field of view compared to roof prism binoculars. The widely spaced objective lenses create an immersive 3-D viewing effect, making it easier to gauge depth and distance, whether you are looking at the night sky or the world around you.
Designed for comfort and durability, these binoculars feature a rugged rubber-armored housing that not only protects the optics but also offers a secure, non-slip grip. The improved ergonomic shape makes them easier to handle during extended viewing sessions. In addition, the binoculars are waterproof and fogproof, so you can confidently take them on outdoor adventures in any weather.
The long eye relief and padded twist-up eyecups ensure a comfortable fit for everyone — including eyeglass wearers. You can adjust the eyecups to suit your needs for a relaxed and immersive experience.
For the most stable and steady views, the SkyMaster Pro ED 20×80 binoculars are tripod adaptable and come with an integrated tripod adapter. Mounting the binoculars on a tripod is highly recommended, especially for long observation sessions or when viewing astronomical targets. The binoculars also feature an RSR rail, which allows you to attach a red-dot finder (sold separately) for easier object locating and tracking, especially when using them for astronomy.
With their powerful magnification, excellent light-gathering ability, and premium ED optics, the Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED 20×80 Binoculars are perfect for anyone who wants to explore the sky or observe distant objects on land with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re a dedicated amateur astronomer or a nature enthusiast, these binoculars will make every viewing experience unforgettable.
