Featuring high quality BAK-4 prisms, multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast, a diopter adjustment for fine focusing, and large apertures, these binoculars offer phenomenal performance. The Celestron 71018 features a 20x magnification and an objective lens diameter of 80 millimeters, giving it a 4-millimeter exit pupil. (The exit pupil size -- the diameter of the objective lens divided by the magnification -- determines the amount of light available to your eye. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image obtained will be. A three-millimeter exit pupil is generally sufficient for daytime use, five-millimeters is suitable for daytime and twilight, and seven-millimeters is generally necessary for maximum nighttime or astronomy use.) The Celestron 71018 also includes an integrated tripod adapter rod, a deluxe padded soft carrying case, and Celestron's No Fault Limited Lifetime Warranty.What's in the Box Celestron 71018 Binoculars and deluxe padded soft carrying case Product Description Celestron has designed and engineered the largest SkyMaster models to meet the special demands of extended astronomical or terrestrial viewing sessions. Our large aperture powerful binoculars ensure high performance in all weather conditions and are ideal for astronomical viewing, or terrestrial use.

Astronomers have praised the Celestron SkyMaster for decades for its high-quality BaK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics, which enhance contrast and bring out bright, sharp images—especially in low light conditions.

Even though they are heavy and you will need a tripod. But the quality and how close and clear everything looks is amazing. It does come with a carrying case. Review: Exactly what I expected - I had done my research and been able to play with a friend's SkyMaster 20x80 Celestron binoculars for a few nights to see how well they met my needs. I wanted these as an alternative to hauling my heavy classic Celestron C-8 up into the hills over dirt roads (with washboards, ruts, all that fun stuff). These give me a lightweight alternative and work great with my heavier camera tripod. The package arrived from the UK a couple days early, which was awesome. The box looked like a cross between being re-used and having had some heavy-handed handling during transit. That was concerning, but the box inside that was in pristine condition and the actual Celestron box inside that was pristine as well. The binoculars came encased in a soft foam housing and my greatest fear, them getting knocked out of collimation during shipping, didn't happen. There were no collimation errors at all. I tested them in my in-city driveway over a few nights when we finally had clear skies. As others say, you can hand hold these, but you're going to quickly be reaching for your tripod to hold them. The strain on your arms builds up fast. Looking through them, the moon is fantastic and M31 is an impressive size. Saturn was basically a slightly larger dot than a star, and I could not make out any rings. That was expected, and I might be able to see a distortion caused to the dot by the rings at a dark sky site. Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was a joy to view. All these views were nice and clear, once the binoculars were properly adjusted to my eyes and mounted on my tripod. The only downside I've encountered so far is that when they're on the tripod, anything near zenith is hard on the neck. My tripod gets the binoculars up to a comfortable height for an evening of viewing, but the steep angle for high overhead views gives one a crick in the neck. A set of 45 degree adapters for the eyepieces should take care of that, though. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Orion nebula, the Pleiades, and other DSOs as the year goes on. I realize these won't give me "as good a view" as my C8, obviously, but what I've seen so far tells me I made the right choice for what I wanted them for: a "lightweight" alternative to lugging my heavy C8 up in the hills. This way I can always have them there whenever I go out for astrophotography. Oh, and they're pretty decent for terrestrial observations, too. ## Features - POWERFUL 20X MAGNIFICATION: Giant astronomy binoculars with massive 80mm objective lenses and 20x power. Pair them with any tripod for long-distance land-based viewing or astronomical observation. - WORKS WITH YOUR TRIPOD: Due to their size & weight, most users mount SkyMaster binoculars on a traditional photo tripod (not included).

Which should I get?** A: Hello! In my 50+ years as a user of hundreds of types of lenses, telescopes and binoculars I have found any "ZOOM" product is far less sharp than a fixed millimeter group of lenses. I currently purchased the Celestron 25 X 100 astronomy binoculars and could not be more pleased. Images are all very sharp with excellent contrast - both of which are extremely important when looking at the night sky as well as in terrestrial viewing. I would definitely recommend the 25 X 100 binocs. Hope this helped. Terry D **Q: Would I be able to see the rings of Saturn with the binocs?** A: Just got these in yesterday from another retailer and yes if your steady enough or use tripod you can see saturn's rings. You can see the brightest of jupiters 4 moons as star points too. I also got great views of the Orion Nebula (M42) which was amazing. All objects mention above where seen from the city. **Q: With this pair not having focus or zoom lever, would the 25-125x80 be a better pair for astronomy searching?** A: I own the zoom model 25-125×80, and now I wish I had 25 x 100. Please DONT BE FOOL BY THE ZOOM FUNCTIONILITY. 25 x 100 will definitely give you crisp image because its prime lens. My zoom bino has some soft-image problem at the edges and it seems to be very common issue. Zoom is just useless. 100 aperture will give you more light and 25x is enough to see planets and stars. Again, having individual focus ring is better that you wont get in 25-125x80 model. **Q: Are these suitable for bird watching? Specificaly birds of prey?** A: No, not at all they are like hand holding a celestial telescope. If rested on a car roof they might work, but they are annoyingly large for transport. They require a tripod and good for the viewing of a fixed object like a pack of wolves at Yellowstone 1 mile out. This much power and the binocular view is just too bouncy. The best bird watchers / NASCAR watching for the money I purchased were the Vortex diamondback 8X42. Waterproof and very clear glass, great in low light and not terribly expensive compared to the competition in this performance range. Don't get me wrong as they are a nice addition for sky watching the moon, rings on Saturn...., but practical for bird watching no. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great binoculars *by E***Z on May 23, 2026* Love this binoculars.

Oh, and they're pretty decent for terrestrial observations, too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Having a great time with these *by E***Y on March 19, 2026* I love these binoculars so much. I had a couple of telescopes. One was too heavy, and the other one was smaller but had a computerized system that I am shamed to say was too complicated for me to use. That is, I felt so intimidated by it, I never used it, and then I sold it. These binoculars are awesome because you can just pic them up and take them outside and do some star gazing. The only set up is putting them on a tripod, which is what O do, or you could just sit at a table or something and lean your elbows on the surface to prevent shaking. It’s easy peasy, and you can do it spontaneously. Also, I could bring them on a plane if I wanted, which is what I would like to do when I go visit my sister in New Mexico. I couldn’t do that with something bigger. These certainly can’t do what a big, fancy telescope could do. But I can see a whole lot more than I can see with my naked eye, and I am looking forward to using them more frequently to push their limits. I like Celestron products. I bought a smaller pair of binoculars from them years ago, and then have my wife some as a gift because O liked them so much. I didn’t really consider other brands when I bought this pair. It’s just a really good value for the money. Highly recommend for other Star gazers and people who hope to see a beautiful landscape in more detail. It’s not like having your own observatory, but it’s pretty awesome. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron 71018 SkyMaster 20x80mm Porro Prism Binoculars with Multi-Coated Lens, BaK-4 Prism Glass and Carry Case, Black - Celestron 93524 Roof and Porro Binocular Tripod Adapter, Black - Celestron – Smartphone Photography Adapter for Telescope – Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter – Capture Photos and Video Through Your Telescope or Spotting Scope Eyepiece --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/1154674-skymaster-20x80-binoculars-high-power-binoculars-for-astronomy-and-long](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/1154674-skymaster-20x80-binoculars-high-power-binoculars-for-astronomy-and-long) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
