Celestron Echelon 16x70

High power with good low light performance. Within the Echelon range, this 16x70 model strikes an excellent balance between offering a high power for long distance observation, whilst still ensuring a bright image and persevering a good low light performance.
The large 70mm objective lenses combined with top end Japanese made optics and Celestron’s proprietary XLT coating technology all work hand in hand making sure that not only is as much light collected as possible but as much of it as possible makes its way through the optical pathway and onto your eyes.
Ideal for scanning wide open terrain or for searching out constellations at night, the individual focus eyepieces mean that once you have used them to set up the binocular to match your particular vision, no further focal adjustments are necessary and everything from the minimum focus distance to infinity will remain on focus.
The high power and the fact that they are a fairly large and heavy instrument make it difficult as well as tiring on the arms to keep a steady view, so it is good to know that these binoculars are easily attached to a tripod using a standard tripod adapter.
The eye-relief is good and should easily be enough for eyeglass wearers to achieve the full field of view by folding down the eyecups.

Basic Feature

Powerful Echelon series is made using the best build materials and modern optical technology. Aluminum housing makes them extremely durable and rubber armouring which wraps the construction helps to make them resistant to impacts. The surface of the armoring is rugged which helps with non-slip grip to firmly hold them in hands, very convenient when carrying these heavier binoculars. Tightly sealed construction helps to block out the penetration of water and dust, which makes them well protected even if you use them in the rain. They are also purged with nitrogen gas to prevent the internal fogging, making them fog-proof when quick temperature changes occur. Due to its size and power it’s highly recommended mounting them to a tripod, therefore Echelon integrates tripod adaptable screw that helps with steady images.
