Designed for both handheld use and tripod mounting, these water-resistant binoculars feature multi-coated optics and a rugged rubber-armored body, making them ideal for astronomy and terrestrial viewing.

## Description

desertcart.com When it's time to gaze at the stars or take in some long-distance or low-light terrain viewing, look no further than the Celestron 71007 SkyMaster 12 x 60 binoculars. Featuring high quality BAK-4 prisms, multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast, a diopter adjustment for fine focusing, and large apertures, these binoculars offer phenomenal performance. The Celestron 71007 features a 12x magnification and an objective lens diameter of 60 millimeters, giving it a 5-millimeter exit pupil. (The exit pupil size -- the diameter of the objective lens divided by the magnification -- determines the amount of light available to your eye. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image obtained will be. A three-millimeter exit pupil is generally sufficient for daytime use, five-millimeters is suitable for daytime and twilight, and seven-millimeters is generally necessary for maximum nighttime or astronomy use.) The Celestron 71007 also includes a tripod adapter and Celestron's No Fault Limited Lifetime Warranty.What's in the Box Celestron 71007 Binoculars and carrying case Product Description Celestron has designed and engineered the larger SkyMaster models to meet the unique demands of extended astronomical or terrestrial viewing sessions. These large & powerful binoculars ensure high performance in all weather conditions and are ideal for astronomical viewing or terrestrial (land-based) viewing over long distances. These binoculars can be handheld. However, due to their size and weight, you may want to mount them on a standard photographic tripod for long-duration observing sessions. Simply attach the binocular to your own (user-supplied) binocular tripod adapter using the ¼”-20 attachment. The adapter connects to most photo tripods in seconds. Astronomers have praised the Celestron SkyMaster for decades for its high-quality BaK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics, which enhance contrast and bring out bright, sharp images—especially in low light conditions. The binocular features soft, comfortable rubber eyecups that block stray light. Eyeglass wearers can fold down the eyecups and view with their eyeglasses on. Your purchase of the Celestron SkyMaster 12x60 binoculars includes the objective lens caps, a rainguard, a deluxe carrying case, a neck strap, a lens cloth, and an instruction manual. Buy with confidence from the world’s No.1 telescope brand and a leading binocular manufacturer, based in California since 1960.

Review: Celestron 15X70 Skymasters ROCK! - I've been an amateur astronomer for about 23 years. I have a broad amount of experience with the kind of optics that are used for astronomy. I have used most every type of instrument and have visited some of the great professional telescopes. I have hand built my own newtonian telescope including machining the german equatorial mount. Soon after completing this instrument I took it to a star party and ended up on my back with a pair of Fujinon SX binoculars. To make a long story short, I preferred the binos to the view in my telescope. Telescopes are expensive, they are big, heavy, hard to move, hard to store, complicated to set up correctly, and the view through the eyepiece can be crowded and dissapointing. For the casual observer binoculars are the superior choice. They are everything that a telescope is not...relatively cheap, light, easy use. And because they are so easy to use, you will end up using them much more often than you would a cumbersome telescope. That aspect of binoculars alone will make them show you much more than a telescope ever would. The Celestron 15X70 Skymasters are by far and away the best amateur astronomy instrument for the money on the market right now. They are truly and incredible value. You could spend $600+ on Fujinon SX binoculars and have a very fine instrument, but after using these, that would be a hard argument to make. Most everyone's eyes are not able to discern the fine differences between the two instuments. Mind you, I am not telling you that these are as good as the Fujinons, but at about a 10th of the price...well you get the idea. My experience with Celestron is that they are a first class operation. And now with their lifetime no-fault warranty, the best in the industry, you can purchase products from them knowing that if anything ever goes wrong for whatever reason, they will always stand behind their product. If you are looking to get started in astronomy or looking for an excuse to leave your telescope in the closet, these binoculars are a great value and with proper care will last a lifetime and show you more wonders than you will ever see frustrating yourself with a high magnification-small field telescope. Get them, take them outside at night with your kids and wonder why.......
Review: BEST BINOCULARS FOR SKYGAZING! - I bought these for my husband and he is absolutely in love with them! They are very nice, you can see the craters on the moon with them, and so much more. Definitely will need a tripod because they are heavier and longer in size. But they are a must buy! Definitely worth the money.

- POWERFUL 12X MAGNIFICATION: Large astronomy binoculars with large 60mm objective lenses and 12x power. Perfect for long-distance land-based viewing or astronomical observation.
- WORKS WITH YOUR TRIPOD: These binoculars can be handheld. Due to their size and weight, some users mount them on a standard photo tripod (not included) for long-duration viewing sessions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: compare th field of view of th 12x60 to th 15x70 ?**
A: Angular field of view of 12 x 60s:  5.3 degrees.  Same spec for 15 x 70s: 4.4 degrees.  See specifications of products at www.celestron.com.

**Q: Can these be hand held for short periods of time (15-20 minutes) for casual astronomy. Is this a good canidate for ues in conjuction with a telescope.**
A: Short answer: yes

More nuanced answer: sorta


For an adult, 12x60 is just about the largest, most powerful glasses that will be practical to handhold. 12x magnification is on the high side for handheld astronomy; they will require frequent rest breaks. The higher the magnification, the shakier the image will be and of course the heavier the shakier. The view however, should be pretty stunning. 

For the average beginner, 10x50 is probably a more satisfying choice, simply because they'll be much easier to use. Just about the all around best, however, is 7x50; also ideal for children. They're economical, ubquitous and the 7x magnification is very forgiving with a stunningly wide angle, bright and rich view. 7x50 will show Jupiter as a small, bright, featureless disc with a line of dim yellow 'stars' across it. Saturn will not show the rings, but will appear as distinctly different from a star and while very small, may appear vaguely football shaped. Any combination of 7 - 12x and 42 - 63mm is a great companion to a small telescope, for scanning and planning, or just casual stargazing.

**Q: are these to heavy to watch a football game**
A: They're pretty heavy to be holding up to your eyes for long periods of time.  I bought mine for stargazing and added the tripod adapter.  I'd go with something lighter for use at a three hour long football game.

**Q: Does this 12x60 have acessable screws to adjust the collimation, if necessary?**
A: Yes. The best place on the net that I am aware of that shows how to collimate the celestron skymaster series of binoculars is oddly enough the Oberwerk binocular website. The Oberwerk Light Series is basically the same binocular as the Celestron Skymasters. The Oberwerk might have slightly better coatings on the optics for about twice the price. Just go to Oberwerk.com/support/collimate for everything you need to know.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the Money
*by H***Y on August 20, 2014*

I purchased these and they arrived on time. I have used "Standard Size" binoculars for hunting and general use for over 50 years and these are my First pair of "Giant Binoculars". Other than the enormous size and increase in weight, these are Binoculars. After taking these out of the box, I was quite pleased with the overall quality and "feel" of the binoculars. Very nice rubber coating and overall they seemed heavy and well built. I also ordered the Vista Explorer 60" light weight tripod with the binoculars. OK...so here is what I got: 1) On the first "trial" I could not get the binoculars to focus, and the images were Double and Misaligned. This was a disappointment, but, like many things in life can be disappointing and many other reviews Cautioned about defects, I took my chances based on the low price and free returns with "Prime". Like any other purchases I make that are seemingly defective, I am most likely to try and determine and correct the problem before returning, especially if a lot of reviews "Exclaim" about the quality. (if it had a Flat tire, would you simply try putting air in it BEFORE returning ? I would ! ) So, I got online and immediately found this site: http://www.oberwerk.com/support/collimate.htm It turns out that this particular problem is a "colimmation" issue and not "that" serious and if You have any mechanical ability and some basic experience with Jewelers screwdrivers, this is an Easy Fix. It did take me about 45 minutes but, for $60 I think these Binoculars are still a Great Value ! 2) These Binoculars are Heavy. You will need a tripod if you plan on using them for more than 15 minutes, or, something to lean or rest them on. I purchased the Vista Explorer 60" "LIGHTWEIGHT" Tripod. It clearly says these are light weight and ANY time you put something Very Heavy on top of something Light Weight, You Will have issues. Key words here: "Heavy" and "Light weight". 3) I bought these binoculars and tripod to introduce my 10 year old Grandson to Beginning Astronomy. I didn't want to spend a small fortune on a telescope and figured this will suffice in fulfilling the requirements of his first time and at a minimum, provide some exposure. He will learn to be patient. He will learn to be very patient, very gentle, and very careful with this New "high dollar equipment". In conclusion, if you have very little mechanical ability and things have to be perfect, and, you have very little patience then do not buy these Binoculars, OR this particular tripod. Go ahead and spend $1000 to get some serious equipment. I consider the 45 minutes it took me to remedy the adjustment issue (collimate) kind of like "assembly required". Also, I now know how to collimate binoculars.
