Celestron 15×70 SkyMaster Pro Binoculars – 72030 Celestron

Step up your stargazing experience with SkyMaster Pro, the much-anticipated upgrade to the world’s bestselling astronomy binocular, the Celestron SkyMaster. Designed with amateur astronomers in mind, this new model boasts lots of handy new features that will make your stargazing experience that much more comfortable.

The 15×70 is the go-to size for long distance viewing binoculars. It’s large enough to provide bright views, but still reasonably lightweight. With its new polycarbonate housing, SkyMaster Pro is even lighter and more portable than SkyMaster. Of course, the 15×70 isn’t just great for stargazing. It’s also the ideal choice for any long range glassing, especially in dim conditions like dawn and dusk. In this size, SkyMaster Pro offers an impressive 17mm of eye relief to accomodate users with or without eyeglasses.

Superior optical performance

Long distance binoculars can easily run into the hundreds of dollars (and beyond!), but SkyMaster Pro gives you all the most important upgrades while keeping the price affordable and accessible. Of course, you get a fully waterproof, nitrogen purged and rubber armored housing that you can use confidently in the field. 

What’s more, all optical surfaces are fully multi-coated with Celestron’s acclaimed XLT optical coatings. These coatings–also used on their monster observatory telescopes–dramatically boost light transmission so you can see maximum detail in objects. SkyMaster also features BaK-4 prisms for even brighter, high contrast images.

Finally, Celestron has added two sets of folding rubber eyecups: traditional round and winged eyecups to shield your eyes from stray light.

Designed for the amateur astronomer

Celestron has solved one of the most frustrating problems with binocular astronomy–locating those faint fuzzy targets. They’ve done this by adding a “RSR” or “Reflex Sight Ready” rail to the top of the binocular. You can attach any standard red dot finderscope like Celestron’s StarPointer or StarPointer Pro in one step, so locking in on your target is quick and painless. The RSR rail is part of the SkyMaster Pro’s innovative built-in tripod adapter, so you won’t have to tote along a separate accessory to attach it to a tripod, either.

Add the SkyMaster Pro 15×70 binoculars to your arsenal of astronomy gear and enjoy a new perspective on your favorite hobby.
