Explore the great outdoors with Celestron's enhanced Nature DX 8X42 ED Binoculars, now upgraded with Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) objective lenses. These lenses offer high-resolution, high-contrast views, minimizing optical flaws like chromatic aberration, commonly known as color fringing. The fully multi-coated optics ensure maximum light transmission along the optical path, resulting in brighter, clearer images.
The binoculars feature phase-coated BaK-4 prisms, which produce vivid, true-to-color images. Designed with eyeglass wearers in mind, they offer generous eye relief along with sturdy, adjustable twist-up eyecups. Enjoy a close focus distance of just 6.5 feet, ideal for observing nearby subjects. These binoculars are also tripod adaptable, adding to their versatility.
Celestron's Nature DX series, acclaimed and award-winning, reaches new heights with the ED version. Offering optical performance comparable to more expensive models, these binoculars are an economical choice for various outdoor activities, including sports events, concerts, and especially bird watching and nature observation. The ED glass ensures you won't miss any subtle field markings, even at a close focus.
The Nature DX ED Binoculars stand out with their Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass, effectively eliminating chromatic aberration and delivering sharp, edge-to-edge images. Celestron's premium ED glass guarantees noticeably brighter, sharper images than standard non-ED binoculars, particularly in low light conditions like dawn or dusk.
These binoculars boast fully multi-coated optics, where each air-to-glass surface is layered with multiple anti-reflective coatings to enhance light transmission. The high-quality BaK-4 glass prisms are phase-coated, ensuring more light reflection and transmission for brighter, more detailed images. The combination of these lenses and prisms, along with the ED objective lenses, significantly enhances image quality, especially in lower light.
The Nature DX ED binoculars feature a durable, rubber-armored polycarbonate housing, offering protection without excess weight. The twist-up eyecups provide comfortable viewing for both eyeglass and non-eyeglass wearers, with multiple click stops to suit your preference. Waterproof and nitrogen-purged, these binoculars are built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.
These 8x42mm binoculars are perfect for various uses, with a close focus of just 6.5 feet for observing birds, butterflies, and other nearby subjects. Their wide field of view makes tracking moving subjects effortless.
Carry your Nature DX ED comfortably with the included strap or mount them on a standard photographic tripod (adapter sold separately) for extended viewing or digiscoping. A protective padded nylon case is included for convenient storage and transport.
