Jean-François: très bon matériel

Jonathan Jiménez Rivagorza: Definitivamente si necesitas el tripié para poder usarlo ya que es muy pesado a la larga pero no quita que te dé una excelente vista, no lo recomendaría si apenas serán tus primeros binoculares pero si ya tienes práctica ni lo pienses

Mazin Al Moumen: I have just received my new 25x100 SkyMaster Celestron binoculars. Tested them just now! Amazing results, perfect collimation, high contrast and excellent focus (individual). These new binoculars will be my favourite and I love them. Please ignore all the negative reviews that appear in websites about the 25x100. My previous comments on the 20x80 SkyMaster are still valid👇👇These binoculars are Amazing!
I was looking at Vega, Deneb and Altair (summer triangle). Stars are pin point, contrast was great. Bit heavy but manageable even without a tripod ( my tripod was ready but I find it more easy to scan the sky freely. No issue with collimation. Field of view and eye relief are very comfortable for star gazing ( I have 10x50, 16x50 and 20x60 all Pentax) and I find the 20x80 Celestron is the best one ( I would love to have the 20x80 ED pro sky master but not available yet). So many stars.. Astronomical seeing tonight was above average 😊
No need for tripod adapter, it is already provided.

KarenKaren: I bought the 25x100...
You'll see a lot of people on here who are more than amateur hobby astronomers. If they criticize these binoculars... DON'T LISTEN TO THEM. Pro's should stick to fancier equipment.
However, for us hobbyists, this thing is AMAZING!!
First, I thought it was used or opened, because the tape on the box was open, but it wasn't, it was all snug inside.
It's huge, and heavy. The pics show the 25x100, next to my 2yr old 20x80's (also excellent!)
This puppy is way bigger! The views you get are better, closer, clearer. I attached my Galaxy S22 Ultra to the binoculars and zoomed way into the moon, and took pics of Jupiter and his Galilean moons, beautiful...
You can see deeper space, as well.
For the first time, I had better views of Saturn, still small, but a little better then the 20x80's. The focus is easier than the 20x80, you adjust each eye lens individually, I like that better. The only negative for me, is, the big lens covers aren't attached to these binoculars, like the 20x80's are, so you can possibly lose them.
Otherwise, this is an amazing piece of equipment.
The bag: I don't understand why nobody ever gives...

Brian Ribeiro: O que dizer de um binóculos que traz as maravilhas do céu até seus olhos?
Alguns meses atrás comprei um 7x50 da mesma marca e após varrer boa parte do céu, senti a necessidade de um upgrade. Apesar de o 15x70 ser mais barato, resolvi ir de vez atrás de um maior e deparei com esse 20x80.
Arrependimento? Apenas com o tempo de espera até chegar, passou pouco mais de 1 mês até ter em mãos.
Já o binóculos em si é sensacional, não tem comparação com meu 7x50 quanto à observação do céu. Obviamente não é possível ver detalhes dos planetas, mas Titã é visível, Saturno aparece como uma luz alongada e Júpiter é majestoso com seus maiores satélites, imponente no campo de visão! Notam-se muitas crateras e montanhas na Lua com uma qualidade incrível!
Além disso é possível ver também aglomerados estelares, nebulosas e algumas galáxias, porém dependem pelo menos de um céu rural. Falando em nebulosas, a Carina e a de Órion são as mais lindas para se ver, na minha opinião.
Para se ter uma ideia do que é possível enxergar, no centro de onde moro cheguei a identificar, com muito custo, estrelas até da magnitude +10.2, sendo...

Dreamer1999: Bought these because they were strongest/largest binoculars I could find that were affordable. The field of view is a bit narrow as expected; but if you point them to the moon it looks amazing. I usually use celestron trailseeker ED 10 x 40's which are amazing. The clarity and brightness of these is just as good but capture more light even though the magnification is 25x.

When you look at Pleaides for example, that whole cluster just fits in the field of view, but the detail is amazing. The same for the dagger in Orion's belt, specifically Orion's nebula.

Unfortunately you'll really need a sturdy tripod - and I mean more so than just beefy legs. My wife and I currently use the "Orion Tritech II field tripod with fluid pan head" for our other binoculars, and it is actually really sturdy. But it's almost impossible to keep these binoculars stationary if you tilt or raise them.

It has to do with the fact that with most tripods now you attach a track piece to the binocular tripod adapter, then slide that piece onto the tripod. That connector is plastic and has some play; so really large binoculars will move side to side because the track fit is...

José AlbertoJosé Alberto: Me encanta Celestron! Cómo podrán ver, tengo algunos artículos 25*100, 25*70 y 20*80

La referencia a este comentario es en base a los binoculares 25*100 es un artículo ya profesional no es para principiantes es muy pesado para maniobra por lo que se necesita de un buen tripié
Tiene mucho más profundidad que los otros binoculares que tengo, y mucha más definición... El precio estaba bastante accesible y la compra a meses sin intereses fue lo que terminó a animarme
Los recomiendo mucho si les gusta la astronomia

Stardazer: Upgraded my SkyMaster 15x70 binos to the 20x80 model. This review concerns astronomical use, especially as it relates to casual observation. I just returned from two evenings with it under the dark skies of WV's Monongahela National Forest

1) Field of view offers wide angle eye candy. 3.7 degrees with the feeling of expansiveness--even at 20x. I could place Orion's belt in one view; Orion's sword in another; The entire Pleiades (M45) in one glimpse; much of Kemble's Cascade; nearly all sections of the Veil Nebula complex; The Lagoon (M8) and Trifid Nebulae in one field; Can almost place M7 with M6 in Scorpius in the same field, also the Coathanger asterism fits nicely into the field of view.

2) Spectacular views offered of M7 near the Scorpion's tail, The Swan nebula (M17), Dumbbell Nebula (M27), a billowing Orion Nebula (M42), Pleiades (M45), Andromeda Galaxy (M31) with companion galaxies...can seem to infer some stars on the outskirts of globular clusters M13 (Hercules) and M22 (Sagittarius). Veil Nebula is breathtaking under dark sky (t5he western side resembles a fuzzy fish hook). Can see North American Nebula near Deneb at top of Cygnus. I...
