- Kept safe – aluminium case for easy and safe transport
- Conveniently attached – standard ¼ inch thread – for tripod or fork mounting
A stereo view of the sky
A pair of large binoculars is a useful addition to a telescope or spotting scope. Why, you may ask? It is because you are now observing in a different way – by using both eyes. The view is vivid and you will notice a lot more contrast. After all, you now have two lenses in front of your eyes.
Tip: Use the binoculars to 'wander' through the Milky Way and discover a wealth of stars and nebulae.
100 times more light
The 70mm binoculars use achromatic design objectives. Together with the multi-coating on the lens surfaces, this provides a pure, clear image. The objectives' 70mm aperture means 100 times more light is available than with just the naked eye.
Relaxed observing – 45° viewing angle
With a 45° viewing angle, observing is even more fun. It allows completely relaxed observing of objects near the zeniths – after all, who wants to have to lie on the ground while observing? A real advantage for fun observing.
For astronomical eyepieces
The two eyepieces that come with the Nightstar provide 16X magnification. This will bring you a whole lot closer to stars, ships or mountain peaks. But do you know what is really special? - they can also take any 1.25" astronomical eyepieces. Optimize your large binoculars using your own eyepieces. The extra advantage - they allow the use of your own eyepiece filters, as opposed to binoculars with fixed eyepieces.
Onto the tripod, ready, go
Attach your binoculars to a tripod using the 1/4 inch thread provided. A carrying handle ensures that nothing happens while your Nightstar binoculars are properly secured.
The most elegant solution – a fork mount. With the Omegon fork mount, which you will find in the recommended accessories, your binoculars acquire a really stable base.
Aluminium case – for always having safe transport
Nightstar 16x70 binoculars are held securely in place in an aluminium case with shaped cut-outs. So they are ready for every trip - take them with you on your next vacation - observing under a strange sky can be twice as much fun!
