Celestron SkyMaster 15-35x70 Zoom Binoculars
15-35x Zoom — 70mm Objective — BaK-4 Prisms — Multi-Coated — Tripod Adapter Included
$209.00
The Celestron SkyMaster 15-35x70 covers both wide-area search and extreme close-up observation in a single instrument. Start at 15x to locate a subject quickly across open terrain or nighttime sky, then zoom to 35x for detailed inspection. The 70mm objective gathers substantial light for excellent low-light performance — ideal at dawn, dusk, and astronomical use. BaK-4 prisms maximize light throughput for brighter, sharper images than BK-7 alternatives. Multi-coated optics enhance contrast and color accuracy. Long 20.3mm eye relief at 15x is comfortable for extended observation with or without eyeglasses. Diopter adjustment corrects for vision differences between eyes. Rubber-armored housing is water-resistant. Tripod adapter included for hands-free use and reduced vibration. Limited lifetime warranty.
