"Too many stars!"

I would say that these are a pretty good entry level pair of binoculars for someone just starting to explore the night skies. The field of view is wide enough so that with a bit of practice you can know what constellations you are looking at, but the magnification is strong enough to blow your mind...

Good field of view; but with reasonable magnification

Weight; and eyecups letting light in from the side

Very Sharp, Bright and Contrasty with some Chromatic Fringing

An excellent value for the price, these binoculars produce a bright, crisp image with chromatic fringing that may put off purists but doesn't affect its usefulness too much.

Very Bright; Very Sharp; Very Easy on the Eyes; Precise Mechanicals; Excellent finish

Very Strong Chromatic Fringing off Center; Cheap tripod mount

Celestron SkyMaster 15x70mm binoculars review

You'll notice on the photo that it has a base with a pressure nipple, which functions as a type of spring washer. That is the reason why I filled in the bottom cavities on the Skymaster adaptor, to prevent the nipple getting ripped off as the adaptor get screwed on. Excellent value for money.
