Q: 4. I bought one of these very heavy binos. Used it a couple or 3 times on my Manfrotto t-pod. They are so heavy that, on the 4th or 5th nite, they stripped the threads off of the socket & it hit the pavement. This knocked both tubes out of alignment! At least the only external damage - to one tube - was an extremely small ding & a scratch or 2. STW - does anyone know of repair shops that do realignments? I'm in the Boston, MA area.

A: Sorry to hear your binocular got damaged. Please contact our technical support team and a representative will be able to assist you in getting your SkyMaster 20x80 repaired. The best way to reach them is by submitting a ticket here: https://www.celestron.com/pages/technical-support

Q: 5. I have a Celestron 25x100 binocular that came with a Celestron Alt-Azimuth tripod Model 93607 but they don't seem to mate very well and the tripod does not elevate more than a few degrees above hrozontal. Do I have the wrong tripod?

A: I have the same binoculars and tripod. The mating to the tripod is very solid; no problem at all. Perhaps you've sorted that out by now. The range of elevation angles is somewhat limited from what I'd prefer. It's about plus/minus 20 degrees. However, anything more could make it very awkward to sight through the binoculars.

Q: 6. Trying to confirm that this item includes an interface to mount to a tripod?

A: I believe so as I just screw mine directly to a camera tripod. I didn't have to purchase any adapter or extra parts.

Q: 7. is it meant to be polycarbonate housing or aluminium?

A: Polycarbonate housing

Q: 8. Can you see all the rings of Saturn

A: You can see the planets through the SkyMaster Pro 20x80 binoculars, but it does not have enough magnification to show any surface details or Saturn's rings. A telescope will be the better choice.

Q: 9. Do these binoculars come with a case, neck strap and lens/eyepiece covers?

A: To the best of my recollection, all of these items are included with these binoculars. The case, however, is only thin plastic and only provides dust and water spray protection, not bump and drop protection. Also, while these binos have a terrific wide field, they also have a 7.14 mm exit pupil. If your eye pupil doesn't open this wide, some of the light coming in the objectives will be wasted. Binos with this large an exit pupil are best used by people younger than 40 years old.

Q: 10. Are the optics on this binocular glass or plastic?

A: Great binoculars, feels like glass, but not sure. You'd be better googling it or asking the supplier sorry.
