With just a tap of your smartphone or tablet, it'll automatically slew to your chosen subject thanks to its GoTo technology. It's an investment, but the large aperture and StarBright XLT optical coatings make for stunning views that are worth every cent.While not technically on offer, this is one of the lowest price fluctuations we've seen, so if you want an affordable yet good pair of astronomy binoculars, they're still worth buying at this price. We like them for observing the moon in detail, and we can spot all four of Jupiter's Galilean moons with them.Read our full Celestron SkyMaster 15x70 reviewFor passionate astronomers who want the best views possible, these have ED glass to eliminate chromatic aberration — often seen around bright objects like the moon. The 20x magnification and large 80mm objectives are ideal for stargazing, but you'll need to mount them on a tripod.Don't forget to add the coupon.We think these are the best image-stabilized binoculars on the market. From Canon's "L" series, they offer premium optics with crystal clear views and very impressive image-stabilization. They work beautifully for stargazing and wildlife observation.Read our full Canon 10x42 L IS WP reviewAnother product that fluctuates in price, but this price of $3,298 is the cheapest we've seen it. This 61MP beauty is one of the best cameras we've ever used, and our optics writer loved it so much after she reviewed the Sony A7R V that she bought one for herself.A great little camera for beginners who want to shoot long focal lengths without having to buy a separate (and usually very expensive) lens. The built-in telephoto lens can zoom up to 2,000mm in focal length, and the camera has built-in bird and moon modes. This price is the lowest we've seen in a long time.This lightweight and compact lens from OM System is ideal for a beginner astrophotographer on a budget. The wide 17mm focal length and f/1.8 aperture are perfect for wide nightscapes as we approach Milky Way season — and it only weighs 3.95 ounces! (112g). This is the cheapest we've seen it since October.Get the world’s most fascinating discoveries delivered straight to your inbox.Kimberley Lane, E-commerce writer for Live Science, has tested a wide range of optical equipment, reviewing camera gear from Sony, Canon, OM System and more.
