Celestron 71335 Nature DX 10x56 BaK-4 Prism Binoculars, Green

Product Information

The following binoculars were compared outdoors, I had each pair of these for one to two weeks, so I had time to do very thorough comparisons in many different lighting situations. They are also fog-proof and nitrogen purged, so you can be safe in the knowledge you can transition from a warm home or car outside into the cold and won't have to wait for them to de-fog. With phase-coated BaK-4 prisms and fully multi-coated optics, Nature DX will reveal the wonders of the night sky with large aperture optics that are essential for Binocular astronomy. With large, 56 mm objective lenses, you’ll notice the increased light-gathering abilities of Nature DX 10x56.

Ok, one of the BIG things I learned from all of this is that YOU have to try any prospective binoculars yourself. Another advantage is the waterproofness and the filling of the casing with water vapour-free nitrogen, so that the optics inside the housing do not fog up even in high humidity. You can always mount binoculars to a tripod for astronomy but this would not be very practical on the water. Celestron’s Nature DX 10x56 binoculars are the perfect combination of larger bright objective lenses with an optimum 10x magnification. The Nature DX binocular is a favorite among beginner and intermediate birders, as birds are easier to spot and track in its wide field of view.

With phase-coated BaK-4 prisms and fully multi-coated optics, Nature DX reveals image detail you won’t find with other entry-level binoculars.

A durable rubber armored, polycarbonate housing protects your Nature DX from damage without weighing you down.It is disconcerting being jostled and trying to view a still object on land when the bouncing is magnified. The weight is more than acceptable and I guess these people suffering blurring at the edges and chromatic aberration, may need to visit specsavers or need to adjust them. The premium BaK-4 prisms in Celestron Nature DX are phase coated to improve contrast and resolution. Celestron Nature DX 10x56 Waterproof Roof Prism Binoculars: It is a medium to long range binocular with superb performance. I thought my Olympus Magellans were sharp and was totally happy with them, but after experiencing a bit more sharpness I can hardly stand using them.

The accessories are of good quality with a neoprene pad on the strap and a nice case to keep them in. These 8x42's were going to be strictly daytime use for me, so only casual testing at night was performed to get a better idea of resolution, brightness, and edge performance. The last step is to insure that both your eyes are looking straight thru by widening the binoculars as needed.The one issue I do have is the objective covers are held on by a small strap and at the end of the day I was missing one until I found it under the seat of my kayak as it had slipped off the end of the binoculars. The weather and waterproof sealing mean you can take the Celestron Nature DX 12x56 out and about anywhere, from damp rainforests to dusty deserts and everywhere in between. The attractive green rubber armor covers the polycarbonate housing and protects the binoculars from water, dirt and dust ingress. Normally people might want a large magnification for astronomy but smaller magnifications will reveal a larger swath of the sky in your view and the image will also appear brighter. The view is really nice, they fit very well into my hands, the focus is buttery smooth, and they seem really well made.
