Re: Celestron SkyMaster 20x80 Binos
Actually I've relatively good luck with Amazon Canada as well. Whatever I've ordered so far usually got delivered got shipped out the next day and I always go for the "free shipping"chicagorandy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 5:58 pm I've been relatively lucky with all my Amazon Prime shipments. Sometimes they don't make the promised 'next day' or 'two day' delivery windows, but for all the items I buy I think only one has ever been lost and I received a prompt refund for it.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh well, they get here when they get here

Re: Celestron SkyMaster 20x80 Binos
The manual is available on Celestron's site and the font is tiny even on my 27" monitor on my desktop computer !!!!!! At any rate, I just cleaned my magnifying glass

Re: Celestron SkyMaster 20x80 Binos
This is exactly what I am now using to carry and protect my 20x80's - and is available for under $20 - the seller wants an unreasonable $26 just for shipping, but a case this same size or larger found elsewhere would fit.

Re: Celestron SkyMaster 20x80 Binos
I see now that I finally have it is that they're sorta like a bino version of my 80mm Orion ST80 but without interchangeable lenseschicagorandy wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 7:26 pm Good news. I definitely see why a tripod is mighty handy - these are pretty big rascals - lol
Good luck with the weather!
