For sale is a Vintage 20x80 "Long Ones" (Celestron branded) in very good condition. These have an extra long focal length (I think f5) for better correction and super wide angle eyepieces (3.7 degrees). The Apparent Field of View is the same as the 15x56 Sky Rover Banner Cloud (see pictures through instruments of distant tower). Flashlight test shows these operate at full aperture and by counting pixels of pictures of a distant tower I have confirmed that true magnification is 20x. No internal fogging that I can see with flashlight. These seem related to the Celestron Nova as they have the same kind of text on the prism housings and same JB number (J-B56). Price includes insured shipping to contiguous 48 states and any transaction fees. I prefer PayPal. Open to trades for other binoculars. I'm thinking other big aperture binoculars 60mm and up, but honestly who knows. If it's something interesting I might say yes even if it doesn't match that criterion.
