I would think those binoculars would be good for looking at comets. If I had one that is what I would use it for.
I find the big problem with binoculars on a tripod is anything getting close to 40° up from flat becomes very hard on the neck, you really need to start laying down beyond that and then big high magnification binoculars become hard on the arms and hard to keep stable handheld. So you then start to need parallelogram binocular mounts or have 45° or 90° eyepieces. Smaller & less magnification binoculars are almost certainly better, handheld with a reclining garden chair 😀
Hi Peter. This is a fair point and something I have experienced myself. Good tips here, thanks for sharing
a you can get a bar to extend sideways and then you can use a reclining chair0.
Wonderful video. Thanks so much! I currently have several binoculars (7x35, 7x50 and 12x60) and have been shopping for something larger. I was thinking of getting a pair of 20x80s, and this video has been very helpful to me as I get near to making a purchase. With Celestron, you have the Skymaster, the Skymaster Pro and the Skymaster Pro Ed in 20x80. With my skies being Bortle 7, would there be one of these models that would work better in my light-polluted skies? Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can offer.
Thanks, Mike. Really appreciate the kind words. Regarding your options, if you have the budget available, I would definitely opt for the Pro or ED. They should hold collimation much better than the basic model while also operating at full aperture due to their more premium coatings.
Hello! Look for binoculars with 1.25-inch threads. You can then buy nebula filters that help with light pollution. Personally, I use Delta Optical Extreme 15x70 ED with such filters. They do the job.
I wanted to ask that if I have a tripod and also have the budget to buy the 20x80
Which would you recommend 15x70 or 20x80
In terms of learning the sky
Hello. What are you looking to see, exactly? The 15x70s are a little better for open star clusters due to their wider field of view. The 20x80s allow you 'to go in' a little more... While it's not a huge difference, the 20x80s are larger and heavier too. Still both as you say, are tripod territory for sure.
Thank You very much ,
I already have a 10x25 wp ii binoculars which provides a wide field of view of 6.8 degrees,
So I might think about buying a pair of 20x80 binoculars
I bought these and the Celestron starpointer pro but I can’t seem to find the mount for the middle bar that attaches to the tripod. Any advice?
I'm getting the Skymaster pro 20x80 ed, and was considering getting a starpointer and was wondering the same thing. Did you manage to find the clip to mount it?
@@dandobrowolski5818 I never did. It’s unavailable on Amazon and the celestron website. It’s called the “Rsr adapter” I’m mad I bought this star pointer for nothing
Have you reached out to Celestron support? They may be able to advise here...
Did you need to collimate these binoculars ?
Hi Michael. I didn't have to personally, no.
The wobbling camera while talking is kind of nauseating. I recommend just putting the camera down.
Thanks for the feedback John. Good luck with the nausea...
