(Image credit: Jason Parnell-Brookes) They feature fully broadband multi-coated lenses, a twist up eyecup, and the same exceptional waterproof and fogproof housing unit found in many Celestron models.For the specs you get, the Trailseekers are very reasonably priced too. Celestron’s FREE planetarium app is an astronomy suite that redefines how you experience the night sky. 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. 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.

Best binoculars for stargazing 2023: Spot stars and galaxies

Celestron has been a revered manufacturer and competitor in the astronomy market since 1960. They produce telescopes, microscopes, and, most importantly, binoculars. If oberwerk chart informs that is 90% of objective area, the count should be square root of (60 * 60 * 0,,9) = 56,9, but if them say is 90% of their objective size, the count should be 60 * 0,9 = 54. I am talking about maths.They are definitely easier to handhold standing up then my Oberwerk 12x54 binoculars and they have a wider true FOV then them (5.2° vs 4.9°). They have a pretty sharp edge with virtually no vignetting. Stars are sharp in the central 65-70% of the field, thus yielding about 3.5° of flat field on center. Eye-relief was fine. I looked the way the aperture covers could still be attached to the binoculars and just popped down. Despite that, these binoculars could serve as a great starter pair for a kid or young adult as they come with a padded carrying case and offer ample magnification at 10x and an objective lens diameter of 50 mm. Eyecups are adjustable and twist up or down. Users report some eye relief adjustments weren’t as easy and some quality control issues may not be noticed due to the lower price point.

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 In addition to the low-light capabilities and eyeglass friendly design, Celestron's SkyMaster 12x60 Binoculars have many other features. Celestron’s SkyMaster 12×60 Binoculars FeaturesReleased 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.

Have you done the same tests for true aperture and magnification? They are easy to do.

Flip-down eyecups make the binoculars suitable for eyeglasses wearers. (Image credit: Jason Parnell-Brookes) They had only focused on entry-level binoculars until recently, but by using their extensive knowledge in telescopes, they have broken into a higher quality market. Well, you are right that if I measure the outside aperture of my 12x60s with a ruler it will come out at 60mm. But from shining a laser through the eyepiece of them and measuring how the disk of light that comes out the aperture I get 54mm. So there is an internal baffle. As for the exit pupil figure, I measured mine at 4.5mm which is what it should if I've only really got 12x54s. So honesty in one area and not so much in another. Featuring environmentally-friendly materials such as lead-free glass, the Canon 12x36 Image Stabilization III Binoculars (Canon 12x36 IS III) are high in price but also notably high in quality. They will offer the stars crystal clear in viewing at 12x magnification and an image stabilization feature that can help prevent shaky images. The only thing Celestron's binos might have would be lighter weight and possibly flatter fields. Not gonna lie, I would love to do a side by side comparison of my 12x54s to those 12x50s!!
