Celestron SkyMaster 15x70 Center Focus large-aperture astronomy binoculars offer state-of-the-art technology and phenomenal performance. Despite their "SkyMaster" name, these astronomy binoculars are nearly as exceptional for long-distance terrestrial use. SkyMaster binoculars bring star fields, Jupiter and its moons, Saturn's rings, and globular star clusters into clear view, allowing for a spectacular and unique peek at the universe.

Each SkyMaster model features high-quality BAK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast and maximum light allowance. Additionally, Celestron has designed and engineered the larger SkyMaster models to meet the special demands of extended astronomical or terrestrial viewing sessions. In dark-sky environments, even such objects as galaxies and nebulae are within reach of a Celestron SkyMaster Binocular. For added utility and convenience, the Celestron SkyMaster 15x70 binocular is water-resistant and tripod-adaptable.

Additional SkyMaster 15x70 Features:

Soft case included
Multi-coated optics for sharp, clear views
Large aperture perfect for low-light conditions and stargazing
Diopter adjustment for fine focusing
Minimum interpupillary distance, 60mm
4-element objective lens for ultra-sharp focus across the field of view
No-fault lifetime warranty

Maybe I was just unlucky...

"I bought these to give to my fiancee, we both are into stargazing, and this was to be her first instrument to view the heavens with. I heavily debated whether to purchase this binoc, or the competing Barska X-Trail model. After reading horrible reviews of the barska being consistently out of collimation, and seeing so many favorable reviews here, I decided to spring for the Skymaster.[...] The first look through..."
