Very well made review. Nice colors and contrast looking through them. And sharp as well in the center. Too bad they weren't collimated correctly! Will you receive another pair? Or by some other cool binos?
@FocusKnob
@FocusKnob 7 месяцев назад
It's permanently back to Celestron. May be if the price goes down I'll buy again. The bad collimation at the current price is unforgivable. I didn't want the trouble going back and forth at this point in time. I'll look to more affordable binoculars.

You get what you pay for, I think this represents good value for money, collimation issues aside. This will give you a lot of performance. Of course if you want true high end performance in a binocular then be prepared to pay up big $$$

Thanks for the video, to be honest the Pro looked better or just as good as ED, this video helped me I will be going with the PRO 15x70 version so I can also use them on zero gravity chair and tripod, I am wondering what is the name of that tripod you are using and how do you like it? I also need to get a good tripod for the 15x70 skymaster pro's, thanks again you earned my sub lookinig forward to more of your content Sir! My wife wears glasses so the eye relief is also important for us, and to pay more to get less eye relief does not make sense to us especially when there is not a huge difference in the images from both, thanks again!

Exit pupil of 4 mm is really small , if it was 6mm you would gat 2x more light , so 12x80 would be much better as far as collecting as much light as possible , or at least 15x80 , would give about 5.3 mm exit pupil , even that is double the light i think . Chromatic aberration would be less but i guess everyone can chose their own . From the specs these are Dusk , dawn binoculars , definitely not for ultra Astronomy. Or Dark . What 4.5inch telescope do you have , anyways great review , 10 out of 10 . I just didn't see collimation problem but i guess that is hard to show .

How did you come to the conclusion that they weren't collimated? I didn't see that in your video?
@FocusKnob
@FocusKnob 7 месяцев назад
You can't exactly show a miscollimation on video. The right side view is substantially higher than the left side which made it hard to merge the views.

I purchased the Orion 20x80 ED binoculars five years ago. They look VERY similar to the Celestrons and I think the specs are nearly identical. They were $300 (again 5 years ago) I also had to send back my first pair due to poor collimation. The 2nd pair they sent me was good, however and I kept them. It sounds like your expectations based on the price were a little high. These binoculars are still not high end instruments. You could spend one to three thousand dollars on binoculars. While the chromatic aberration is much improved on these ED binos compared to the standard binos, there is still some CA present and that was what I expected.

i learned the hard way that a binocular too big to carry its like no binocular at all. and mine wasnt that big, only 16x50! a small, decent quality 10x25 its way better because its there. this applies to me.
@FocusKnob
@FocusKnob 6 месяцев назад
8x25 is more than adequate for day viewing. Anything bigger in daylight your eyes will attenuate the extra light gathering of the bigger lens. Bigger lens is good when light is dim like when the sun is about to set and at night.

@FocusKnob
@FocusKnob 6 месяцев назад
Get a tripod that can go at least 70" tall like a Bogen 3011, 3021, 3033, 3036, 3046, etc. Depends on how tall you are. My latest tripod acquisition is a Coman KX3636 which can go to 74" tall. Checkout my review of the Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED 20x80 binoculars to see that tripod in action.

Really appreciate your video mate, good stuff 👍 What would you think in comparison for Astro observing on going down to the 15x70 pro ED for a gain of 0.7 focal but losing x5 magnification?
@FocusKnob
@FocusKnob 5 месяцев назад
Dropping down to 70mm in aperture robs you of about 23% light gathering capability. On the other hand the 15x70 gives an exit pupil of 4.7mm compared to 4mm on the 20x80 binoculars. If everything was equal then a bigger exit pupil may give the appearance of a brighter image if your own eyes' pupil can at least match the 4.7mm exit pupil. I've read young eyes can open up to 8mm while older people not so much. You also frame more of the sky at once with a 15X.
@johnstark8116
@johnstark8116 5 месяцев назад
Thanks very much, I wasn't thinking that it could be as much as 23%... I'll do some research and see how much a x5 drop represents in magnification. Also what field of view is best usable in astro. It is also true I'm not getting any younger :) not saying price and weight could influence the final verdict. Appreciate your help there 👍
@FocusKnob
@FocusKnob 5 месяцев назад
If you take an image and divided it into 20 sections. 15 sections would be what you would see with the 15x binoculars. There are two camps when it comes to binoculars and viewing the night sky. Some prefer the lower magnification as it allows you to see more of the sky at any moment. Others prefer a higher magnification to see things closer. When looking at the moon I prefer the higher magnification.
