Our team designed the Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED binocular to provide outstanding views of
astronomical objects. To ensure that you fully benefit from all the thought and work that has made this
binocular a reality, we encourage you to read these instructions carefully before using it.
We hope you enjoy using your new SkyMaster Pro ED binocular as much as we do.
(We’re avid astronomers, too, you know.)
WELCOME! THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING

As interpupillary distance, or the distance
between the pupils, varies from person to
person, the binocular must be correctly aligned
(adjusted) to the distance between your pupils
to achieve a single, clear image. To adjust this
distance, lift the binocular to your eyes (using
both hands) and look through them at a distant
object. Move the two barrels (halves) of the
binocular closer together or further apart until
you see a single, clear image. Check that the
interpupillary distance is set correctly every
time you use your binocular.
ADJUSTING THE INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE
WARNING: Never look at the Sun with the naked eye or with
your binocular. Looking at the Sun can cause
permanent eye damage.

ENGLISH I7
TIP: If you wear eyeglasses for nearsightedness, you should wear them
when using binoculars. You may not be able to obtain focus at infinity
without them.
Whenever you begin using a new binocular
(or resume using a binocular after someone
else has been using it), ensure the diopter
compensation adjustment dial is set correctly
for your eyes. Once the dial is adjusted, you
will not need to adjust it again unless someone
changes the setting or unintentionally turns it
out of position.
To set the diopter compensation adjustment on
a SkyMaster Pro ED binocular:
1. Set the dial at the zero point by placing the
index mark on the diopter adjustment ring
opposite the zero or middle on the scale.
2. Use one of the binocular’s objective lens
covers to cover the right objective lens.
3. Select a distant stationary object such as a
tree or sign as your focusing target. Keeping
both eyes open, raise the binocular to your
eyes and center the selected focusing
target in the binocular’s field of view.
4. Still keeping both eyes open while viewing
the target, use the center focus dial to
bring the target into sharp focus in the left
eyepiece. Once the object is in focus, do not

adjust the center focus dial again until the
end of this process.
5. Lower the binocular and move the objective
lens cover to cover the left objective lens.
6. Still keeping both eyes open, find and view
the target again. This time, use the diopter
adjustment ring to bring the target into
sharp focus in the right eyepiece.
7. Lower the binocular and uncover the right
eyepiece. You should now be able to view
through both eyepieces and adjust focus
using the center focus dial while maintaining
the proper amount of compensation
between your two eyes.
If the diopter adjustment ring is ever moved,
repeat this process.
(You may be wondering why you kept both
eyes open even though you could only see
through one optical channel at a time. It’s
because when you close one eye, your visual
acuity in the other eye changes slightly due
to the intricate and complex arrangement of
muscles surrounding both eyes. By keeping
both eyes open, your vision is as it would be
during regular use of the binocular.)

POSITIONING THE EYECUPS
The SkyMaster Pro ED features specially designed twisting eyecups that may be set at fully
retracted, mid-point, or fully extended positions. To position the eyecup, simply grasp it with your
thumb and forefinger and twist it clockwise until it reaches the next stopping point detent.

10 IENGLISH
ATTACHING FILTERS
Celestron SkyMaster Pro ED binoculars feature a 1.25” astronomical filter-compatible eyepiece
design. To attach a filter to an eyepiece:
lPosition the binocular’s eyecup in the fully retracted position.
lCarefully align the filter’s threads with the threads surrounding the eyepiece lens.
lTwist the filter gently so that the threads engage smoothly and continue turning until the filter
reaches a natural stopping point.
lRepeat the process with the other eyepiece.
For the most comfortable use of the binocular with filters mounted into the eyepieces, position the
eyecups in the fully extended positions so that the rims of the eyecups are higher than the top edge
of the filters.

ENGLISH I11
Mounting the binocular on a tripod allows for added
stability and comfort during prolonged viewing.
SkyMaster Pro ED 7x50mm and 15x70mm
The SkyMaster Pro ED 7x50mm and 15x70mm
feature built-in threads that allow the binocular
to be attached to a tripod using a Celestron
binocular tripod adapter (sold separately). You
can access these threads by unscrewing the logo
plate found on the front of the binocular’s center
hinge. To attach the binocular to a tripod, follow
the instructions that came with your adapter.
TRIPOD ADAPTABILITY

12 IENGLISH
SkyMaster Pro 20x80
The SkyMaster Pro 20x80 features a built-in
tripod adapter that allows the binocular to be
attached to a tripod without the need for any
additional accessories. This built-in adapter
is attached to the center support rod of the
binocular and slides along the rod so you can
find the perfect balance point when attaching the
binocular to a tripod.
To attach the binocular to a tripod:
lThread the ¼-20” mounting bolt of the tripod’s
mounting plate into the bottom of the tripod
adapter until it is secure.
lMount the plate with the binocular attached to the
head of the tripod and secure it in position. Keep
a firm grip on the binocular as it has not yet been
adjusted for balance.
lLoosen the knob on the top of the binocular’s
built-in tripod adapter until the binocular’s center
column moves freely through it. Celestron StarPointer Finderscope not included.

ENGLISH I13
WATERPROOF / FOGPROOF
CARE AND STORAGE
SkyMaster Pro ED binoculars are waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the housing
from fogging internally.
1. Protect the binocular from impact and do not
force any moving parts beyond their limits.
2. Protect the optics of your binocular by putting
on all lens caps when not in use.
3. Store your binocular in a cool, dry place
whenever possible.
4. When storing for an extended period, place
the binocular in a plastic bag or airtight
container with a desiccant.
5. Do not leave the binocular in a car on a hot/
sunny day or near anything that generates
heat, as this may cause damage.
6. Clean any dust, dirt, or water that may get
on the binocular or inside moving parts as
soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen
damage.
Your Celestron binocular will provide you with
years of dependable service if it is cared for and
stored correctly.
lHolding on to the binocular, move it back and forth until it achieves a stable point of balance.
lLighten your grip on the binocular to test whether you have achieved balance. If you haven’t, continue
moving the binocular back and forth until it balances.
lTurn the knob on the top of the binocular’s built-in tripod adapter until it is fixed securely in position.

SERVICE AND REPAIR
If warranty problems arise or repairs are necessary, contact the Celestron customer service
department if you live in the United States or Canada. If you live outside of these countries, please
contact the dealer from whom you purchased your binocular or the Celestron distributor in your
country. You will find a list of our distributors on our website.
1. Remove any dust on the lenses with a soft
lens brush or can of pressurized air.
2. Remove any fingerprints, stains, or smudges
from the lens surface with a soft, clean lens
cloth or lens tissue by rubbing in a circular
motion. Start in the middle of the lens and
work your way to the edges. Breathe lightly
on the lens to provide moisture if needed.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, we
recommend using a lens/optics cleaning
kit available at most photo or optical shops.
Follow the directions supplied with the
cleaning kit for best results.
CLEANING
Proper cleaning of the lenses is essential to maintaining the optical integrity of your binocular. Dirty
lenses diminish the amount of light transmitted through the binocular and your overall viewing
experience.

Puisque la distance interpupillaire, ou la distance
entre les pupilles, varie entre chaque personne,
les jumelles doivent être correctement alignées
(ajustées) sur la distance entre vos pupilles
pour obtenir une image non dédoublée et claire.
Pour ajuster la distance, levez les jumelles au
niveau de vos yeux (en les tenant des deux
mains) et regardez un objet distant. Rapprochez
ou écartez les deux barillets (les moitiés) des
jumelles jusqu’à que vous voyiez une image
unique et claire. Assurez-vous que la distance
interpupillaire est correcte à chaque utilisation
des jumelles.
AJUSTER LA DISTANCE INTERPUPILLAIRE
AVERTISSEMENT: Ne regardez jamais le Soleil à l'œil nu ou avec
vos jumelles. Regarder le soleil peut causer
des lésions oculaires permanentes.
