I've been a pro photographer and amateur stargazer for the better part of two decades, and have been covering Black Friday sales for the past six years, so I know what makes an unmissable camera and/or skywatching deal.

What is Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday starts the Monday after Thanksgiving every year, in the United States. Black Friday weekend signals the beginning of the Christmas shopping period for many, especially this year with Thanksgiving falling so late in the year (Nov 28) and Cyber Monday is a further day where you can grab great discounts. It's a time when many retailers drop prices on stock old and new across their portfolio.

When is Cyber Monday 2024?

Cyber Monday 2024 starts at midnight Monday December 2 and ends 23:59 Tuesday December 3, lasting only 24 hours so it really is your last chance to get great bargains on products you've been eyeing up or Christmas gifts.

Good morning and Happy Cyber Monday!

It’s a windy but pretty morning here in the UK, and we’re ready to bring you all the best Cyber Monday deals. It’s day 8 of Kimberley’s 9-day working stint, and then she is moving house on the 10th day…genius planning there.

Anyway, coffee has been brewed, cat has been fed and sufficiently fussed over, brain has been located and installed — so settle in, and let’s get saving.

We'll be back shortly with some tempting Cyber Monday deals!

PRICE CHANGE

We’ll get the bad news out of the way first — our favorite binoculars for stargazing, the Celestron SkyMaster Pro, has increased in price since yesterday. Amazon were offering a $35 coupon to apply at the checkout, making them $210.65, but today they've taken the coupon away, and they don't seem to be in any Cyber Monday deal at all.

We’ll keep track of this throughout the day, but they’re still a decent price at $245.65 and are, otherwise, the cheapest they’ve been since April.

The only other price change we've seen is an odd one...

The Celestron StarSense Explorer DX 130AZ was in a Cyber Monday deal of $365.74 yesterday (Sunday) yet today (Monday) it's NOT in a Cyber Monday deal...but it's $10 cheaper. Make of that what you will!

Amazon's gonna Amazon...

If you’d rather see the night sky from the comfort of your warm home than have to put on your coat, hat and gloves and venture out into the chilly darkness to see it with your telescope, this Govee star projector deal will bring the cosmos indoors.

Govee Star Light 8 projector now 55% off — save $100 and get it for just $79.99 at Amazon

We haven’t reviewed it so we can’t personally claim whether it’s one of the best star projectors, but when we compare it at a glance to some of the others we have had our hands on, it seems pretty good! There are mixed reviews, some excellent, some…not so excellent, but overall it has a rating of 3.8, with over half of the reviews rated 5 stars.

It comes with 8 discs and offers 38 scene modes to choose from, including a sleep, universe, natural, emotion, thunder & rain and festival series, and the choice between ‘diffusion’ or ‘gathering’ movement modes makes it look like you’re shooting through the stars at warp speed, as opposed to most other star projectors which just rotate.

You can control it straight from your smartphone using the Govee Home app — not to mention, it’s also Alexa and Google compatible. Plus, it has a built-in speaker with 37 different noise effects that match the projections.

(Also, if you love to annoy your neighbors, Govee have a load of fun outdoor holiday lights for your house on offer for Cyber Monday!)

Because of course, you’re going to need a reliable camera to take a photo when you arrive at the very first bridge of the evening! If you're going to be shooting astrophotography, let's hope there's no Midnight Rain.

With two dials on the top of the body, it couldn’t be easier to Change your settings and capture the images of your Wildest Dreams.

Long Story Short, you don’t have to be a Mastermind to see that the OM-D EM10 Mark IV is Gorgeous, and you should buy it. But be quick, as it won’t be around come New Year’s Day.

Those of you who were here on Friday and Saturday for our Black Friday live blog may have been keeping up with Kimberley’s impulse photography purchases — and we are excited to say that one of the deliveries will be arriving today! Not the fun camera and lens one, sadly, but we’ll be here to show an unboxing of the accessories and photography essentials that she bought...whenever it arrives.

In the meantime, to help us all get through a chronic case of The Mondays, here’s an adorable photo of a red panda, taken by the editor of Digital Camera World, James Artaius, when he reviewed the Nikon D850 for us. Coincidentally, you can pick up the Nikon D850 for $2,029.95 at Walmart for Cyber Monday. We rated it as the best DSLR camera for wildlife photography AND astrophotography.

Our fitness guru will be taking over next to bring you the best Cyber Monday health & fitness deals!

This public service announcement may save you some serious cash later.

January is traditionally a big harvest time for fitness brands, and understandably so. This is a time when many people invest in new exercise equipment and fitness trackers, trying to get back in shape after Christmas indulgence. This is also a time when prices of these goods tend to spike up (though they are still disguised as deals, of course). But, here is the thing. You still can get fit without draining your wallet — just make sure you buy your fitness gear during the Black Friday sale. Check out our top deals on fitness trackers and exercise equipment for some tried-and-tested ideas 😊
