The Amazon Spring Sale has started, so don't miss out on hundreds of dollars off the best skywatching optics and cameras.
The Amazon's Big Spring Day Sale is well underway and it is a chance to get some of the best telescopes, binoculars, cameras and even night vision optics a lot cheaper than usual. It runs until Tuesday, March 31, and if you move quickly, you can snag some real bargains.
But with so many items on sale, where do you start? That's where our guide to the best Amazon Big Spring Sale skywatching deals comes in. Supported by our experts, we've rounded up the best deals on skywatching gear.
However, you may have to move fast if you want to save big. Why? Unlike Black Friday and Prime Day, where deals drop and stick around till sold, Amazon's Big Spring Day Sale has different deals arriving each day, across different products.
We will be updating this guide with the very latest deals, but if you see something you want, we advise you to move fast. That bargain you were on the fence about might be gone tomorrow.

Celestron Skymaster Pro 20x80
Best for long distance
Save 15% ($48)
Celestron Skymaster Pro 20x80: was $319 now $271 at Amazon
We rank these as the best binoculars for long-distance viewing and they're a steal at $48 off. We'd recommend you buy one of the best tripods for some extra support, but they capture enough light that you can happily stargaze on the go and they're excellent for daytime observation too.
