Opinions from the Celestron SkyMaster 15x70
Yandex.Market data
Advantages:
-Excellent optics -Good enlightenment -Large aperture (for example, in urban illumination, with a clear sky, the satellites of Mars and Jupiter are clearly visible) -Easy to use -the price is not too high
Disadvantages:
-the standard tripod mount is flimsy -the tubes are easy to deform - do not drop! -in the set, I would like a better cover; a cloth for cleaning in the kit is terrible - it is better to throw it out immediately
Comment:
When buying, look carefully with binoculars! out of 3 models offered to me, in 2 (!!) the convergence of the tubes (aperture lenses) was broken. cheaper than 2000 rubles.

Advantages:
Bak-4 glass. Multilayer enlightenment. Aperture and aperture ratio. Lightweight for these binoculars.
Disadvantages:
At this price, they are absolutely insignificant: not very comfortable double cap for eyepieces, neck strap is very thin (bought separately).
Comment:
I read about a possible collimation, there are no problems with this in my copy. The sensations from the binoculars are the most pleasant, and tactilely pleasant, and the picture pleases. For long-term observations you need a tripod, but it is quite possible to use it from hand. I recommend binoculars - in this class there is nothing better in terms of price / performance ratio.

Advantages:
Good contrast and aperture ratio. Convenient to use.
Disadvantages:
There are no serious disadvantages. The design requires careful handling.
Comment:
Ideal for terrestrial observations from 200 to 500 meters. Suitable for astronomical observations only if you need to know the location of the stars, stars are visible that are invisible to the naked eye. It is not suitable for observing the moon and planets, the magnification is too small, craters on the moon are barely distinguishable, the planets are barely visible, and even more so, there can be no question of observing the satellites of Mars. In general, it turned out more ground-based binoculars than astronomical ones. Those who are looking for binoculars for astronomical purposes do not advise taking this one, it is better to take at least 25x70.
