Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED 20x80 Binocular

The Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED binoculars stand as the perfect selection for budding astronomers or those who engage in long-distance observations. The SkyMaster Pro ED employs high-quality optics, coatings, internal components, and housing materials. Boasting large objective lenses, BaK-4 prisms, ED glass, and fully multi-coated optics that utilise Celestron's exclusive XLT coating technology, the sight offered by a SkyMaster Pro ED defines the benchmark for astronomy binoculars.

ED Objective Lenses

Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberration, also known as colour fringing, a visual phenomenon common in magnified optical systems. SkyMaster Pro ED delivers edge-to-edge sharpness with excellent colour correction and razor-sharp images. Not all ED glass is created equal. Celestron's high-quality ED glass delivers brighter, sharper images than non-ED binoculars. The difference is especially apparent in low-light conditions.

All of Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED's lens surfaces are fully multi-coated and feature Celestron's proprietary XLT optical coating technology. These powerful coatings, similar to the ones you'll find on our observatory-grade telescopes, decrease reflectivity for higher optical throughput across a broad range of the visible light spectrum. What's more, the prisms inside the binocular are made of high-quality BaK-4 glass, further boosting light transmission. Working together, the fully multi-coated lenses and BaK-4 prisms deliver more light from your target to your eye for brighter, more detailed views.

Objective Lenses

The 80mm objective lenses offer plenty of light-gathering ability for superior low-light performance. The objective diameter-to-magnification ratio is ideal for scanning the skies, observing the Moon and planets, and exploring all the best deep-sky objects. Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED also makes an excellent choice for long-distance land-based viewing-especially at dawn or dusk.

The Body

Custom-designed rubber armour and a durable chassis protect your SkyMaster Pro ED binocular from damage without weighing you down. Viewing through SkyMaster Pro ED binoculars is comfortable for eyeglass and non-eyeglass wearers alike, thanks to the retractable eyecups and more than 15mm of eye relief. Eyeglass wearers can see the entire field of view while looking through the eyepiece with their glasses by twisting the eyecups down. For those who do not wear eyeglasses, the eyecups position the user's eye behind the eyepieces at the correct distance for optimal viewing.
