Celestron 71007 SkyMaster 12x60mm Porro Prism Binoculars with Multi-Coated Lens, BaK-4 Prism Glass and Carry Case, Black

Product Information

Released somewhat recently in 2018, these mid-range Nikon binoculars feature lower magnification capabilities but have a generous objective lens diameter and roomier eye relief than other models. We reviewed the Nikon Prostaff P3 8x42 which is very similar to the 3S 10x42 noted here and gave them four out of five stars for their premium-finish and excellent clarity. Nikon is no stranger to high-quality optics having manufactured them (and some of the best cameras) for over 100 years. The Nikon Monarch 5 20x56 sits near the top of their binocular line-up and this roof prism-type binocular weds a powerful 20x magnification to a relatively gargantuan 56mm objective lens to let in plenty of available light. This makes it another key contender for amateur astronomers as long as your budget will stretch. Some users reported difficulties collimating the binoculars correctly, as they don’t arrive pre-calibrated. Collimating is the process of aligning all components in a telescope or binoculars to bring light into its best focus, which can be difficult for beginners. You can easily collimate the binoculars yourself by following internet guides or by visiting a local hobby shop. What sets these 'Pro' versions apart from their standard 20x80 counterparts down below is that they have Celestron’s proprietary XLT coating technology for clearer views of the cosmos. Featuring ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass in its construction to improve contrast and reduce chromatic aberration and multi-coated lenses with it, the result is eye-popping image clarity, particularly when examining closer celestial objects such as the Moon.

I have a pair of Oberwerk 12x60 LW binoculars that I bought last year and love them! Especially since I can handhold them at 2.5#. But in this Cloudy Nights review, the author found that his pair was basically operating at 11.5x50mm. And that has got me to wondering if I could get more from a pair of Celestron 12x50s or Celestron 12x56s considering that they are truly the size they are listed as! So does anybody have on opinion on if I should stay away from the 12x56s and go instead for the 12x50s? I have a feeling that the 12x50 are better quality, but that extra aperture (and thus exit pupil) is really tempting. It is possible to attach the double eyepiece cap (providing your own material) but not the objective lens caps. Not a deal breaker if you are careful with your binoculars, but something to be aware of if you plan on stuffing them in and out of your bag where they might get scratched. Should you buy the Celestron SkyMaster 12x60 binoculars? It’s difficult for individuals with glasses to find binoculars that aren’t uncomfortable or have a shorter-than-average eye relief distance. The folding eyecups, dynamic diopter adjustment, and long eye relief distance are all ideal for overcoming optical difficulties.

The SkyMaster series of binoculars have multi-coated optics and high index BaK-4 prisms for superb light transmission and increased contrast and resolution. Coupled with large objective lenses, BaK-4 prisms offer amazing light gathering capabilities making them ideal for stargazing and other low-light applications. With higher magnifications than standard binoculars, SkyMaster 12x60 brings celestial objects up close, providing images with outstanding detail.

12x60 Binoculars Review Are They Worth Celestron Skymaster 12x60 Binoculars Review Are They Worth

An objective lens diameter of 60mm means that it has an exit pupil size of 5mm. The exit pupil size determines the amount of light available to your eye. A 5mm exit pupil is sufficient for daytime and twilight use. Eyeglass Friendly Design

Budget-friendly and simple to use, the worst part about this pair is the lens caps, which isn’t bad all things considered. If you want to really get into the night sky closer and with greater precision though, you may need to look elsewhere as there are limitations on the magnification and objective lens sizes which may become apparent when used in conjunction with one of the best telescopes.

They are comfortable to hold for users who have a steady hand, but we found them more enjoyable when attached to a stable tripod. This would be the case for beginners or younger observers, where the hand-held wobble would be too much to tolerate. Celestron is devoted to giving a pristine image at an entry-level price, and their SkyMaster specifications reflect this. Multi-coated optics mean that more light can be passed through the lenses, and it reflects less light at the surface; this increases the brightness, contrast, and color reproduction of images.
