User questions & answers

Question:	What is the smallest detail you can see when stargazing? Will these binoculars work for terrestrial viewing
Answer:	It is USB rechargeable, and the lithium battery is built in the book light, so it cannot be replaced.

Answer:	Hello, This condition has never happened before. Please contact us via [email protected], we will make full refund or new replacement for you! Please note: The LED lens can only rotate 90° counter-clockwise. Forcibly rotating more than 90° will cause the light to be damaged and unable to illuminate. Sincerely, DEWENWILS
Question:	Can we use it in the day
Answer:	There is a built in lithium polymer battery. It is rechargeable, so please don't worry about the power.
Question:	Are these fully multi-coated optics as stated and not just multi-coated optics? The price seems too good to be true
Answer:	Hello, The blue light turns on to show its charging , and off when fully charged. If yours does not work, please contact us via [email protected], we will arrange a new replacement for you as soon as possible! Dewenwils Customer Service Team

User questions & answers

Question:	Do these binoculars have both a focus and zoom function
Answer:	No, I have an Orion 25x100 binoculars and i can see the ring a little only while using a tripod. If you want to see the Saturn's ring you can save a little more and buy an Orion Apex telescope, they have very long focal length which make them perfect for planets, i have the 127 Orion Apex but you will be able to see Saturn's ring with any of them.
Question:	Are the lenses double coated and are they made in China
Answer:	I had the same problem. Orion sell them.Look this catalogue. Good Luck. http://www.telescope.com/catalog/search.cmd?form_state=searchForm&siteCode=US&keyword=binocular+caps
Question:	Is the tripod also camera capable
Answer:	The answer to your question is "Yes." Here is an excerpt from the Owner's Manual: UltraView™ binoculars feature a convenient center focusing knob. However, because your eyes may differ slightly in their focus, the UltraView™ also includes a right eye diopter adjustment. Once the right eyepiece has been adjusted, you can focus the binocular entirely with the center focusing knob. Here's what to do: With both eyes open, rotate the right eyepiece to the full counterclockwise position, then sight on a distant subject. Cover the right objective (front) lens with your hand. Turn the center focusing knob until the image in the left eyepiece is sharp. Now cover the left objective lens and focus the right side by rotating the right eyepiece (do not adjust the center focusing knob) until the image is sharp. The binocular is now focused for your eyes. Make a note of the diopter setting so you can return to it quickly in the future. With the right eyepiece now set, focusing is achieved by rotating the center knob.
Question:	can you look straight up (or nearly up) with this
Answer:	For general viewing, not noticeably better. However for truly crisp and detailed viewing, like bird watching and astronomy, the FULLY multicoated glass out performs the just multicoated glass and is easily worth the extra $40 IMO. I've owned many binos, and the Orion Ultra View wide angle are my go to (10x50 for home birding and astronomy, 8x42 for field). I've owned them for years. Hope this helps.

Product description

Celestron’s SkyMaster series of large aperture binoculars are a phenomenal value for high performance binoculars ideal for astronomical viewing or for terrestrial (land) use - especially over long distances. Each SkyMaster model features high quality BaK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast. Celestron has designed and engineered the larger SkyMaster models to meet the special demands of extended astronomical or terrestrial viewing sessions.

Binoculars come in a wide range of shapes and sizes these days, and an even wider range of prices. It's easy to spend less than $100 or more than $500 for what may appear to be, at least outwardly, comparable models. While they may look the same, they are probably quite different on the inside.

Recently, the binocular market has seen a flood of giant binoculars at prices that were unheard of just a few years ago. In general, giant binoculars are defined as those that magnify the view 10 times or more and have 70-mm or larger front (objective) lenses. It used to be that the least expensive giant binoculars cost in excess of $150, even $200. All that changed not long ago, when the bottom fell out of the price cellar. Now, several companies import giant binoculars that sell for half that, or less.

Celestron's 15x70 SkyMaster binoculars are one of the leaders in the low-price giant binocular arena. They certainly sound good on paper. The SkyMasters include multicoated optics and BaK-4 internal prisms, two features that promise brighter, better images, and key points to look for when judging a pair of binoculars. They also come with an adapter for attaching them to a photo tripod, which is a must to use them to their fullest, and a soft carrying case. But just because they are cheap doesn't always mean they are worth the price. Would it be better to save up for a more expensive pair?

To find the answer, I had an opportunity recently to judge the SkyMasters against a pair of Fujinon 16x70 FMT-SX binoculars , one of the finest pairs of giant binoculars sold today. Like the SkyMasters, the Fujinons feature BaK-4 prisms, but also have fully multicoated optics. As a general rule, superior coatings mean superior image sharpness and contrast. But then, that should be expected, given that the Fujinons cost many times more than the Celestrons.

While the Fujinons were clearly the better performer, the Celestron SkyMasters held up admirably. Image brightness, quality, and contrast were all remarkable considering their bargain price. Although images were a little soft across the outer 25% of the Celestron's field, the overall view was impressive nonetheless.

Some inexpensive binoculars have very sloppy focusing, causing the eyepieces to tilt and shift. Not so with the SkyMasters. I found that their center-focusing mechanism worked smoothly, with no apparently backlash or wobble. Eye relief (the distance you hold your eyes away from the eyepieces to see the full field) is stated to be 18 mm, a good distance for higher power binoculars and an important consideration if you must wear glasses when viewing. The SkyMasters are also light enough to support by hand for short periods of time, although buyers would be well advised to mount them on a sturdy photo tripod.

The bottom line is, if you are considering a pair of giant binoculars, whether for bird watching, stargazing, or another recreational use, and have a limited budget, Celestron's giant 15x70 SkyMasters represent an excellent value. --Phil Harrington, author of Star Ware and Star Watch

Pros:

• Exceptional value for the price
• Light enough to support by hand
• BaK-4 prisms
• Multicoated optics

Cons:

• Outer 25% of the field is soft and a little blurry
• Requires a tripod to use for extended periods

User questions & answers

Question:	how does the tripod adpater hook on? I got it today but im confused how that part hooks on? and then to the tripod
Answer:	Hi, in the middle of the skymaster, there is one circled logo of Celestron cap. Please remove by unscrew this. You can able to hook the tripod. Thanks.
Question:	why do so many people prefer these over the 20x80 and 25x
Answer:	15x is at the upper limit of what can be hand held. Higher powers would need a tripod to be steady enough. Even at 15x some people would need a tripod or something to lean against. Lower powers give wider fields of view and brighter images. Large binoculars such as 80mm are heavy and need a tripod regardless of magnification. If you want both bright images and high powers look into larger binoculars such as 80 or 100mm.
Question:	can one side be adjusted seperately for my vision? I have decent vision in left eye and poor vision in right eye. thanks
Answer:	Yes, first use the center adjustment to get it focused correctly for the left eye...now close your left eye and look only thru your right eye and adjust the right eyepiece until it comes into focus. Now you should be able to see clearly with both eyes!
Question:	I wondering why so many people have said these work better than their telescopes? If these are 15x and a cheap tele is 100x why are these so great
Answer:	The principal feature of a telescope is not magnification, but light gathering power. These 70mm binoculars gather about as much light as a 100mm telescope. But since you are using both eyes, the view will appear better. But even in my case, with a 13" diameter mirror in my scope, before I look for anything my binoculars are out checking out the field of view and much of the time even showing me what my telescope will be looking at. Binoculars force you to learn the sky and not be dependent on any coordinate system. They show you larger objects like the double cluster in Perseus, the Pleiades and Hyades star clusters in Taurus, the Beehive cluster in Cancer and even the Andromeda Galaxy better than you can in a telescope because you simply get to see the object in context. There are some large, face-on galaxies like M-33 and M-101, which are easier to spot in these binoculars than they are in a 10" telescope. Without the context of the black sky behind the object there is no contrast and you can't see it.Even with a large telescope, you'll spend most of your time observing at under 100 power. Selling telescopes by magnification is just taking advantage of newbies because you can obtain any magnification with any telescope depending on what eyepiece you use. The question is "will you be able to see anything?"

SkyMaster 15x70mm Porro Binocular

A high-quality yet affordable choice for binocular astronomy or long-distance terrestrial viewing with large 70mm objective lenses and powerful 15x magnification.

Product description

Eyeglass wearers know how frustrating it can be using binoculars. You have to take your glasses off with one hand and hold the binocular up to your eyes with the other. Then, you must lower the binocular and replace your eyeglasses to scan the scene again with just your eyes. Playing this on-and-off game gets pretty annoying. You've tried leaving your eyeglasses on, but it's like looking through a keyhole: you can't see the whole field of view. And you've tried to get by without your glasses, but everything in the distance is too blurry. Orion UltraView 10x50 Wide-Angle Binoculars are the answer. They are the ultimate in eyeglass- and sunglass-friendly binoculars! Their extra-long 22mm eye relief allows the full field of view to be seen with eyeglasses on, simply by retracting the twist-lock rubber eyecups. That's a real luxury! UltraView binoculars are also long on optical quality. Designed exclusively for Orion by a premier Japanese high-quality optics company, UltraViews feature the finest BAK-4 glass prisms, and lenses finely ground and polished to exacting specifications. All lens and prism air-to-glass surfaces are fully multi-coated, providing much higher light transmission than can be achieved with the standard coatings offered on most other binoculars. Colors are pure and images are tack-sharp right out to the edges. The large center focus wheel allows quick focusing with just a fingertip. The Orion UltraView 10x50 Wide-Angle Binocular features a much wider field of view (6.5 degrees) than standard 10x binoculars. Excels for high-power astronomy, long-distance nature observation, and hunting. 5mm exit pupil, 16 foot close focus, extra-long 22mm eye relief. Weighs 32 oz. The UltraView 10x50 binocular comes with a rugged soft field case, objective lens caps, and a deluxe wide neck strap. The binocular has a threaded socket to accept a tripod adapter. Designed exclusively for Orion by a premier Japanese high-quality optics company.

• 10-power UltraView binoculars feature a 6.5-deg field-of-view with long eye relief for comfortable stargazing while wearing corrective lenses
• 50mm objective lenses, fully multi-coated optics and BAK-4 prisms ensure maximum light throughput and optimal image quality of celestial and terrestrial targets
• Luxurious extra-long 22mm eye relief and twist-lock eyecups let eyeglass wearers leave their glasses on and take in the full field of view
• Rugged cast-metal alloy body stands up to field use; rubber armored for a secure grip
• Includes soft case, deluxe wide neck strap and lens caps

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you see Saturn’s rings with these binoculars
Answer:	Yes you can see planets but not details like with telescope. Also they are heavy to hold for any length of time. But very handy for quick views of moon.
Question:	Where can I find replacement eyecups for the Orion Ultraview 10x50? One of mine tore and came off
Answer:	Not sure about the 15x63 but I love these 15x70. Remember for night viewing it’s all about the apathure. These come with a great carrying case which was a major selling point for me as i often take the on holiday.
Question:	I know these can be used with eyeglasses, but do they have diopter adjustment
Answer:	Made in China
Question:	Is this model (09351) that much better than the Orion
Answer:	I would still use a spotting scope.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these to heavy to use on a boat? To check out other boats or view things that may help with navigation or hazards. Spotting moorings ECt
Answer:	Perfect for maritime use. As a retired Navy officer used to using binocs from the bridge of a ship these do the job. I use them on my 19 foot fishing boat and have tied on a light weight float to them in the even a grandson drops them overboard
Question:	I know NOTHING about binoculars. I am looking for a decent pair for my husband who would be using them for police surveillance. Are these suitable
Answer:	No. Too powerful. Any magnification over 10x reduces the field of view seriously. Your husband will have a hard time finding the objects he wants to view, and, when they move suddenly, as in any kind of action, it will be hard to keep the binoculars on target. A pair of inexpensive (
Question:	Tripods for 25x70. Do I use the small Barska adapter or the screw on the bottom of binocs? What type tripod? If known, what's the exact name
Answer:	TRIPOD: Recommended tripod must take at least 4 lbs and upwards, I'd recommend this tripod; http://www.amazon.com/66-inch-Heavy-Duty-Tripod-Bag/dp/B00EVC9PQI/ADAPTER: The adapter included with the binoculars will work but to me its a bit too flimsy. I'll recommend http://www.amazon.com/Barska-AF10546-BARSKA-Binocular-Adaptor/dp/B000BYH8EQ/SCREW HOLES: The screw holes on the binoculars is located between the two outer objective lens and is covered with a cap which has the Celestron logo. Just unscrew the cap and you'll see the 1/4 inch hole where you'll attach the tripod adapter. The tripod adapter will now be attached to the tripod plate with 1/4 inch 20 screw, then you attach the tripod plate to the tripod and you can now enjoy your viewing.
Question:	I'm looking for some that would be good for plane spotting at low & high altitudes. Would these work
Answer:	That is one of the primary reason I bought the 25x70's. I also have the 15x70's but for plane observation the 25's get you closer. At 35,000 feet (as a reviewer said before) you can see the printing on the plane on a clear crisp day. At night, and this is amazing to me, you can see the windows of the plane with the light coming out of them. If the planes are lower, the views are even more spectacular. NOW, you WILL need a TRIPOD with a VIDEO HEAD to help you keep the binoculars steady and to track the plane. I also recommend the Planefinder App so you know what is flying over you and what is approaching your area. I spend hours looking at the flight traffic over my house and these 25x70's are perfect and totally add to my enjoyment of looking at high altitude aircraft.

Product description

With 100mm objective lenses, the Orion GiantView BT-100 ED 90 Binocular Telescope delivers an immersive observing experience. Stargazing or viewing distant terrestrial objects with two eyes provides an amazing amount of depth while also making observations more comfortable. Views of lunar craters to wispy nebulae will take on an almost 3D feel in the GiantView BT-100 ED. The 100mm aperture objective lenses gather 56% more light than 80mm binoculars, so you'll be able to see more objects in the sky with greater clarity. The Extra Low Dispersion lenses (ED) provide the highest quality image, minimizing false color and providing extremely detailed views. And the 90-deg angle provides the most comfortable viewing angle when aiming high into the night sky. The GiantView BT-100 ED Binocular Telescope includes a pair of 18mm 65-deg 1.25" eyepieces which provide 31x magnification and a 2.1-deg field. Individual eyepiece focusers provide precise focus control, while compression rings hold the eyepieces securely in place. One of our favorite features of the BT-100 ED is its ability to accept pairs of 1.25" eyepieces so you can control magnification depending on the object (requires two identical 1.25" eyepieces to work). For the best results, we recommend using pairs of 8mm or longer focal length 1.25" eyepieces with the BT-100 ED. You can also use pairs of 1.25" light pollution filters to improve contrast while observing deep sky objects. With filters installed, the BT-100 ED provides seriously amazing views of many deep sky delicacies. Thanks to its sealed construction and nitrogen purged body, the rugged BT-100 is waterproof for use in damp conditions, but it's not designed for permanent outdoor placement. The GiantView BT-100 ED weighs 16.8 lbs. and requires a solid mount for stable support. A built-in 1/4"-20 socket allows secure mount or dovetail plate attachment. NOTE: Standard camera tripods are not recommended for use with the GiantView BT-100 ED.

• Huge 100mm objective lenses provide incredibly bright and immersive views of starry skies and daytime scenes
• ED lenses provide the sharpest, highest contrast image possible while minimizing false color (chromatic aberration)
• Accepts interchangeable 1.25" eyepiece pairs for a variety of magnification options (additional eyepieces sold separately)
• Included pair of 18mm, 65 eyepieces provide 31x views out of the box

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you suggest an appropriate monopod? Thanks
Answer:	The binoculars have hinge between each side which can be adjusted for eye spacing. A fit depends on whether your 6 year old has eyes spaced far enough apart to meet the limited range of adjustment. My guess is that a child with glasses would be within the range of adjustment.
Question:	what is the shortest focus distance
Answer:	All screws and bolts are not tightened. Tighten up all screws on both .
Question:	Are these suitable for bird watching? Specificaly birds of prey
Answer:	I had the problem also, double images. My daughter that’s a birder, mastered the things immediately. For me they are heavy and need to be on a tripod. I know that’s not much help, but practice seem to help
Question:	Would I be able to see the rings of Saturn with the binocs
Answer:	I don’t understand this question, but it seems:rather important. Can we get a clear answer?

User questions & answers

Question:	Which Tripod is recommended for these heavyweights? I don't plan on spending more than 200$ for tripods
Answer:	I’m negative 3.75 and 3.25. One eye can get pinpoint and the other can’t. Chances are you should be able to focus. With that said they are still extremely wide view with glasses on.
Question:	does this tripod support this size bino ? orion says no, just wondering if it's worth the $ 600.00 cost thanks for comments
Answer:	So far, I have only used the Orion 2X54 in the very light-polluted (Bortle 7) suburb where I live. At magnitudes of 8.4 and 7.5, respectively, I can't begin to make out M1 or M27, but my stargazing has nevertheless been greatly enhanced by this binocular. With my 67-year-old naked eye I can typically see stars down to magnitude 3.4. The Orion 2X54 extends this to 5.0, which allows me see a ton of additional stars (for example, the entire constellation of Lacerta, not a single star of which I can see naked eye). Since under ideal conditions the faintest stars visible with the naked eye are about mag 6.5, I'd guess that a relatively young, sharp set of eyes looking through the 2X54 at a Bortle 1 sky could make out M27, but almost certainly not M1.
Question:	What are the dimensions of this product - length, height, and width
Answer:	No
Question:	Are these worth the money if you already have 20x80 astro binoculars
Answer:	I’m not sure that’s the real purpose. It’s only 2x. Puts a whole constellation in one view with
