The April 8 total eclipse is now in the rearview mirror but with the Sun launching its strongest solar flare of its current cycle in a monster X8.7-class eruption now is the perfect time to get a closer look at our very active star. 

You can do it at home too, with a pair of solar safe binoculars, and even better, you can save money with this binocular deal.

The Celestron EclipSmart 12x50 solar safe binoculars are now 25% off, down to just $89.95 on Amazon.

Celestron is known as a trusted brand when it comes to stargazing optics, but if you're new to things and looking for a way to check out the surface of the sun, you may be wondering what the deal is.

We reviewed the Celestron 10x42 variants of this model (awarding them 4.5 out of 5 stars), and our sister site Space.com tested the 12x50 model in the current deal and gave the Celestron EclipSmart 12x50 solar binoculars 4 out of 5 stars in their review. 

Thanks to the ISO-certification and Celestron's bespoke solar-safe filter it's completely safe to observe the sun safely without any additional equipment.

Not to be confused with our recent deal highlighting the 10x42 variant, these 12x50mm binoculars offer a maximum magnification of 12x and have larger objective lenses (50mm) to provide greater light-gathering that can aid clearer views of the sun.
