SkyMasters are economically-priced large aperture offerings from Celestron. They are great for both astronomy or long-range terrestrial observation.
Since high-powered binoculars are difficult to hold steady a monopod(and a tripod adapter if not included with the binocular) with an incorporated fluid pan/tilt head or with such a head attached between the monopod and the binocular is highly recommended.
