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

Product Information

degree field of view constitutes an incredible close-up when viewing objects in the distance, with a trip to see some motor racing heralding bright and sharp views even in the distance. If you're after a mid-range pair of large binoculars ideal for wildlife viewing, the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50 fit the bill. With 12x magnification, this model is an excellent choice for long distance viewing or surveillance.

A durable rubber armored polycarbonate housing protects your Nature DX binoculars from damage without weighing you down. A binocular is “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.Celestron Solar Safe filter technology is GUARANTEED SAFE for direct solar observation and has been independently tested by SAI Global Assurance Services. Roof prism binoculars like the Nature DX ED 12x50 are all about saving space, while their porro prism rivals are mostly about value for money.

One of the most important factors in a telescope is its transmission—the percentage of light that reaches the focal plane. Celestron includes tethered front and rear lens caps to add an additional layer of protection in the field, with the ability to quickly react to glassing opportunities without fear of losing the caps.The two tubes of the Nature DX ED 12x50 are attached using a hinge in the center around that focus wheel, which again has an excellent combination of smoothness and resistance so you can set and retain your interpupillary distance accurately for an observing session and not have to re-calibrate anything. If you're after an impressive pair of binoculars to keep with you for a very long time, then the Nature DX ED 12x50 makes a compelling argument. If you're after a mid-range pair of binoculars that can cope with rough travel, dawn safari drives and late-night stargazing then the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50's top-class glass will impress.

There’s also a thread for attaching a L-shaped adaptor just in case you want to attach these binoculars to a tripod. Viewing through Nature DX is comfortable for eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass wearers alike, thanks to the durable twist-up eyecups. Celestron’s FREE planetarium app is an astronomy suite that redefines how you experience the night sky. From the SkyProdigy, a telescope so smart it can align itself, to our high-performance EdgeHD optical system, we’ve revolutionized the hobby of astronomy for beginners and advanced amateurs alike.Taken together, the fully multi-coated lenses and BaK-4 prisms maximise light transmission for the remarkably bright, highly detailed images. We found operating the Nature DX ED 12x50 easy, with the diopter adjustment and center focus wheels feeling exceptionally smooth but with enough resistance to stop any accidents knocking them out of focus. Its also tripod-adaptable, so you can mount it on any standard photographic tripod for extended viewing or digiscoping (photography through the eyepiece). What the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50 can also do – which some of its equally powerful rivals cannot – is to focus on close objects. We put these binoculars to the test on a clear night in Spain, where we were able to view a crescent moon without any kind of colour fringing.
