For those long days in your blind or in the field, or if you just want to eliminate arm fatigue or hand shake, the Nature DX ED binoculars can be mounted to a tripod using an optional adapter. I laid back on my camping chair and noticed their good optics : almost no chromatic aberration on the Moon, >90% of the field was clean, no blurs. Generous 50mm objective lenses gather lots of light, making these binoculars an ideal choice when viewing conditions are dim, such as at dawn or dusk. Essentially two tubes attached by a hinge (as opposed to the L-shaped optical engine between the tubes on a pair of porro prism binoculars), the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50's tubes are nitrogen-purged to help reduce the threat of internal fogging.

If you want to spend some time studying things, like the moons of Jupiter (as an example), you need to support the binoculars. The importance of the quality of glass used in the optical arrangements inside binoculars can’t be overstated. The 50mm objective lenses are large enough to gather lots of light, while still being lightweight enough to use without a tripod. As well as being ideal for stargazing, you should also consider the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50 as ripe for everything from wildlife observations (they can focus on animals just 2m/6.

Also, I really want to have a full hand-held experience so if anyone thinks that these will be too shakey and maybe I should go for their 10X versions I would also love to know, thanks!

In the box is a small padded pouch, complete with shoulder strap, but it also has a pocket at the front for storing the lens cloth, or perhaps a notebook. It is particularly evident during low light, dusk and dawn, and when looking at bright objects like the Moon, which can be fringed with yellow and purple. That makes them virtually impossible to lose, though if you're going to be using the binoculars for a long period and you don't want them flapping around them you can quite easily remove them completely. Whats more, the binocular is fully waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging of lenses. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.It generally refers to glass coatings allowing more light transmission and, therefore, brighter images. One of the most important factors in a telescope is its transmission—the percentage of light that reaches the focal plane. They're a step-up choice compared to other 12x50 binoculars on the market, but all-round build quality and those Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass optics make these roof prism binoculars a standout product.
