Features
Celestron’s SkyMaster Series of large aperture binoculars are a phenomenal value for high performance binoculars ideal for astronomical viewing or for terrestrial (land) use - especially over long distances. Each SkyMaster model features high quality BAK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast. Celestron has designed and engineered the larger SkyMaster models to meet the special demands of extended astronomical or terrestrial viewing sessions ... for very bright and clear viewing.
Seeing is believing with the Celestron Skymaster 8 x 56 waterproof binoculars. The Skymaster Series has always been one of Celestron's most highly respected line of binoculars. Combining superb optics, quality construction, and affordability, the Skymaster 8x56 is perfect for the serious bird watcher who demands a binocular that is relatively lightweight and easy to use, or the outdoor enthusiast who relies on rugged durability and resistance to the elements.
The new design elements of this binocular include a waterproof body, shock-resistant rubber covering, and twist-up eyecups. This binocular provides superb image quality with BAK-4 prisms, fully multi-coated optics, diopter adjustment for sharp focusing, and they are super lightweight for their aperture size. With long eye relief for comfortable viewing and an excellent depth of field that provides a good overview without the need for constant refocusing, all Skymaster models are excellent for all kinds of long distance viewing. And with large fields of vision, these binoculars are well-suited for astronomical and other low-light observation. It's simply hard to imagine a set of binoculars with these many outstanding features in such a durable yet lightweight design.
The Celestron Skymaster 8x56 features an 8x magnification and an objective lens diameter of 56 millimeters, giving it a 7-millimeter exit pupil. (The exit pupil size -- the diameter of the objective lens divided by the magnification -- determines the amount of light available to your eye. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image obtained will be. A three-millimeter exit pupil is generally sufficient for daytime use, five-millimeters is suitable for daytime and twilight, and seven-millimeters is generally necessary for maximum nighttime or astronomy use.)
