This affordable model of binoculars by Celestron is your winning ticket if you are in search of good-quality stargazing equipment that won’t break the bank. They are a phenomenal value considering how well-performing they are over long distances. The SkyMaster Giant features BaK-4 prisms and optics with multiple coatings for enhanced clarity and contrast. When added a large 70mm objective lens, you get a piece of equipment that allows you to gaze at the sky in the non-stop regime for hours. Its body is rugged and armored for the secure gripping when you are placing it on the tripod or in a smartphone holder. The exterior is also water-resistant, which comes in handy more often than not when a sudden rain makes its appearance out of nowhere.
The eyecups are soft and rubberized for the comfort of your eyes that don’t deal well with direct light. Even eyeglasses wearers will be able to reap the benefits of these binoculars – the eyecups can be easily folded down for optimal convenience. Adjust settings for a fine focus, sit or stand in a comfortable position, and get ready to enjoy the view of constellations.
