What can you see with Celestron Skymaster 25x70 binoculars!!???

[@sanfrancisco5937]

Seriously guys, 31 thumbs down? Who is hating on a genuine, honest and loving family video featuring father and a son sharing precious time together exploring the night skies? Two thumbs up to both guys for taking time to post this video. Please keep up the good work and ignore the naysayers. I just bought he same binoculars and struggled with similar issues you guys ran into -shakiness even with a sturdy tripod, failure to take photo with iphone w/o the adapter but it seems even with the adapter you had difficulty taking a photo. But that's a small glitch. On my first use yesterday and with lot of light and fog pollution, I enjoyed seeing the half moon!! Those craters look awesome!!!! These nights, Moon, Jupiter and Saturn are lined up over the horizon right after sunset. I couldn't get Jupiter in focus and only shows as bright point with Saturn in same FOV. I didn't see any Jupiter moons but it also could be due to brightness of the moon. I recommend using 'Sky View Lite' free iphone app to see what's visible in your area.

I've been using the 15x70 for a number of years now. The collimation was off recently so I had to realign them, easy enough procedure. They're great for grab and go but a tripod is a must if you want a stable view.

Asked my wife for these from Santa when I run outside quick and don't feel like dragging the telescope upstairs. Keeping my fingers crossed. Great review!

[@Niven42]

Good job guys. One thing that everyone who uses binoculars for astronomy should know is the concept of exit pupil. To find your exit pupil, take the second, bigger number (the objective size), and divide it by the first, smaller number (the power). So, for example, in a pair of 10x50 binoculars, your exit pupil is (50 / 10) = 5, or 5 millimeters. So what does that tell you? It will give you the relative image brightness when looking at faint objects. When your eyes adjust to the dark, your eyes' pupils really only open to about 7 mm at the most. So binoculars with exit pupils of 7 mm will provide the most light gathering power for faint objects (like 7x50's). When looking at bright objects, it's ok to trade image brightness for power, and use something with less of an exit pupil (like a 10x50 or 12x50). Hope this helps!

[@dreamteamm]

Amazing guys thanks for showing and telling me what I could actually see instead of telling me its specs.

[@nekite1]

I have the same binoculars and I found that the supplied plastic tripod adaptor wasn't rigid enough, which meant the binoculars shook. Changing to a metal tripod adjuster improved things a lot.

I have the same binoculars but I can't see planets very well. Can't see Saturn's rings or Jupiter's colors ( I can see Jupiter's moons though). When I focus on the planets, all I see are sparkly star shaped objects - basically what I see with the naked eye but closer. I can focus fine on the moon and see the craters in detail and helicopters etc during the day. Is there an attachment I should be using or is it something I'm doing wrong?

[@2dudesastronomy40]

It can come down to your location, how dark your sky is, the atmosphere can effect this a lot as well. Just have to check it out all year long and see what works best for your location!

Nice video guys....been debating if I should get a pair of giant binoculars. The point about Saturn (oval, but not the rings) was a good reference point... Now, a side note...as an older guy and old fashioned....I do not get this modern preoccupation with unboxing and how wonderful the packaging is...no one cared about that when I was kid...you can't actually use the packaging!! 🙂

[@dasonjerulo2691]

As an absolute beginner, should I pick up a pair of binoculars (this exact model) or a telescope for about the same price? Also when you showed us Jupiter does it look like a huge white blurry spot like in the video or is there actual detail you can see of the planet?

[@flaminging]

I own the same binoculars. You will not see details on Jupiter. However, you can easily see Jupiter's moons. I even saw them when Jupiter was next to a streetlight which was extremely impressive. You can actually see the rings of Saturn if you look at it hard. My favorite thing to look at with these is the Moon. The details are vivid. I also have solar filters that I use to look at the Sun. Please don't look at the Sun without filters! Other fun targets are Venus (you can see the phases of it), Mars, the Pleiades, and stars in general. I would definitely get these since these binoculars are high quality. Telescopes are usually more expensive which means a telescope at the same price as this might be frustrating to use. If you want a telescope, you'll need more money and don't buy department store telescopes since they are usually lower quality. For a first telescope, I would recommend getting the Apertura AD8 dobsonian ($450 included with $200 worth of accessories included which are very useful) from High Point Scientific. If you can't afford to use more money, just get these binoculars because views are really impressive. But make sure to have a tripod to carry the binoculars since they are very heavy for binoculars.

Really nice video guys - both enjoyable and useful. I have been having this same type of problem for years as many, many people have asked me to show them what you can see through binoculars, and not only for astronomy, but general use. The problem is, no matter how good my camera and digiscoping setup is, I never get it to produce the same level of quality and detail that you see with your eyes when looking through the instrument. You have not uploaded a video in a while - hope all is well and good with you and that you are safe in these crazy times - anything in the pipeline?

My first one had issues. Chiefly being that the ring holding the objective lense was skewed and I could not get a clear view. The replacement set is actually great for the low price. It was missing the plate for the adapter. However I built my own super heavy duty tripod so don't really need it. I couldn't see paying more for a tripod than the binoculars cost. I tried a low cost Amazon basic tripod but it could not hold the binoculars still. Even the slightest breeze cause the view to be useless.

Hey, thank you both for this! I have a few questions: -Is this way too heavy to use without a tripod? -I noticed that even with the tripod, it was shaking; is it the case that it doesn't hold fast enough with the adapter? -Would you recommend this for a beginner? Or do you find that something slightly lighter and easier to handle would be better? From personal experience I feel that writing reviews almost immediately after purchase is not always the best, because certain things only become clearer with time. So I am very curious about your experience so far and I would really appreciate your honest feedback! P.s. At first thought you were brothers or cousins. It's so cool that you are father and son.

[@2dudesastronomy40]

Thanks for watching! They are heavy and will get tired of holding them but they are way more sturdy on a tripod. They do shake a bit but for the most part they are great. I keep them on my counter and use them to scan the sky when i let the dogs out. I probably use these more than anything else because they are so high quality and easy to use. Also by using 2 eyes instead of one with a telescope you get a bigger view of the sky and makes finding things easier to find. I cant recommend them enough!
