Celestron Nature DX ED 12 x 50 Binoculars - Premium Extra Low Dispersion ED Glass Lenses

Product Information

The Skymaster 12x60 or Skymaster Pro 20x80 binoculars may be ideal for general purpose observation as well as pointing upwards to the night sky for a clearer view of the Moon and the constellations. The prisms inside Nature DX ED are made of high quality BaK-4 glass with phase coatings applied so that more light is reflected off their internal faces and passes through to the eye. However, the major upgrade that you're paying extra for here is the extra low dispersion ‘ED' glass, which gets rid of chromatic aberration/colour fringing. I use them for astronomy and they give lovely views of the night sky, star clusters and nebula especially.

If you want to spend some time studying things, like the moons of Jupiter (as an example), you need to support the binoculars. close focus was most helpful in our backyard, where we could observe wood pigeons and sparrows from close range. Celestron’s high quality ED glass delivers visibly brighter, sharper images compared to non-ED binoculars. There are no textured thumb rests towards the end of the tubes — where you should hold binoculars when looking at objects closer to the horizon. Generous 50mm objective lenses gather lots of light, making these binoculars an ideal choice when viewing conditions are dim, such as at dawn or dusk.It’s also tripod-adaptable, so you can mount it on any standard photographic tripod for extended viewing or digiscoping (photography through the eyepiece). For those long days in your blind or in the field, or if you just want to eliminate arm fatigue or hand shake, the Nature DX ED binoculars can be mounted to a tripod using an optional adapter. They are attached to the end of the tubes by rubber rings, which allow the lens caps to hang down beneath the lenses while you use them. Meanwhile, the dozens of stars within the Pleiades star cluster looked uniformly sharp, almost to the very edge of the field of view.

Designed to stand up to a lifetime of outdoor use, its chassis is made of a lightweight and durable polycarbonate that is also corrosion resistant to make it ideal for boaters. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.I really wanted a pair of 12x binoculars for general use but didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on something. Armed with 12x magnification and 50mm objective lenses, the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50 have a slightly higher magnification than most binoculars designed for all-round use, so they’re best considered if you want close-up views of distant subjects. Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass keeps views bright, sharp and with accurate colors throughout the 4. While the objective lenses get ED glass, the Nature DX ED 12x50s' roof prisms use top-draw BaK-4 glass and use phase coatings to transmit more light. With 12x magnification and 50mm objective lenses, at first glance the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50 is exactly the right size of binoculars to consider for both safari and stargazing.

A binocular can be considered "fully multi-coated" when all air-to-glass surfaces are coated with multiple layers of anti-reflectivity coatings so that the maximum amount of light passes through the glass to the eye. Mostly obvious as a purple line around bright objects, it's the result of poorly focused wavelengths of light.Celestron’s FREE planetarium app is an astronomy suite that redefines how you experience the night sky.
