The porro prism configuration provides a rich depth of view
and high contrast to draw users into an immersive observational experience.
Filter threads on the eyepieces are compatible with astronomical filters to
enhance the Celestron binocular viewing experience by adding
light pollution, neutral density, or colored filters. The combination of
optical coatings, prism, over sized objectives, and the ability to use filters
produce user specific high contrast views that are bright and crisp.
The binocular features magnification and a large objective
lens that incorporates porro prism optical path. Proprietary multi coated optics
increases light transmission for bright high contrast images. To help reduce
weight, the binocular housing is made from a combination of poly carbonate
polymer and aluminum. The aluminum provides strength in key areas, while the resistant
to limit expansion and contraction in extreme temperatures, which can cause the
optical components to move out acclimation and preventing the ability to
achieve sharp focus.
Large objectives and long optical tubes make the fairly
heavy with a center of gravity biased forward, so hand holding it may cause
fatigue and noticeable hand-shake. A center stabilizer bar has a built tripod
adapter to mount the instrument, with a detachable rail for finder scope. To
handle a wide range of environments, the optical tubes are nitrogen filled and ring
sealed to be water and fog proof. Rubber armor protects against impacts and
provides slip resistant grip.
