About this deal

One thing to mention is that depending on your preferences, or how long you want to use them for, you may require a Tripod to support them and hold them in place. (The Celestron Regal Premium Tripod is the recommended). I do know, and I’m sure I agree with you on the choice of the 20×80 binoculars. If I were in your place, without a second’s hesitation, I would choose the second model I told you about, the Bresser binoculars. The case that comes with them is fairly lightweight and will not offer much protection when traveling. These 20x80s are a less-costly, lighter-weight and only slightly less-powerful alternative to our Editors' Choice Celestron 25x100. One way to think of it: The Orions give you at least 85 percent of the experience, at half the price of the Celestrons. And, in some ways, the Orions are nicer to handle.

The bins have a built in tripod adaptor, on an adjustable slider, meaning they can be securely attached to a tripod and balanced up. Weight wise, they tip the scales at just over 2.6kg. This isn’t hugely heavy, and while I did use a tripod for some observing, when I wanted to look at things nearer the zenith, I hand held them, and did so for quite some time. I didn’t feel they were overly heavy, even after prolonged use.

So while you could use them for something else, these are designed primarily for astronomical observing.

SkyMaster Pro binoculars are the ideal choice for amateur astronomers or anyone that observes at great distances. Compared to lower-priced large aperture binoculars, SkyMaster Pro uses superior optics, coatings, internal parts and housing materials. With large objective lenses, BaK-4 prisms and fully multi-coated optics utilizing Celestron’s proprietary XLT coating technology, the view through a SkyMaster Pro is second to none at this price point. They are powerful enough for an experienced astronomer to enjoy, as well as appreciate the speed and ease of setting them up.

Yeah, I am considering the info all of you are sharing, thanks a lot. Considering a 90mm refractor now, however, it is possible I will indulge myself and get the binos too, probably the Orion's 15 x 70 GiantView, they are waterproof and weight more, so they must be sturdier than the cheaper 15x70s.
