Reviews consensus: The Celestron SkyMaster 20x80 is a great piece of kit for an uncomplicated glimpse at the stars. Its optics are clear, and its focusing mechanism is smooth. It's durable enough to be thrown in a bag, and waterproof, too, so you can use it on a rainy day. It is, however, a little on the heavy side, so a tripod is recommended. Thankfully, the tripod adapter is included, as is a handy carrying case.
