Details: We’ve all heard the phrase rules are made to be broken. and that saying goes for astronomy gear as well! The Orion 2×54 Ultra Wide Angle Binocular combines an ultra-low power with a massive field of view. supercharging your eyeballs and taking naked eye astronomy to another level. An incredible 36-deg field of view allows constellations to fit into one field. And the binoculars brighten up fainter stars. allowing you to see about 1.2 magnitudes fainter compared with just your eyeballs. For example — from a dark sky site. you can see down to about mag 6 with your naked eye – imagine enhancing that view down to mag 7.2 with these. It’s like looking at a detailed star chart. except the actual sky becomes your chart! Now. back to those rules that were made to be broken. Magnification and exit pupil are not important in this design of binocular. In fact. it’s just the opposite. Low power coupled with a big lens provides a huge field of view and adds to the effect of the sky being your personal star chart. These binoculars are a variation on a Galilean design but include extra lenses to enhance the field of view and reduce aberrations compared with standard Galilean optics. The brightness in this style is simply the square of the magnification. and the field of view is directly proportional to the objective size. Therefore you get 4x brighter images than naked eye. and a massive 36-deg field. The result is an enhanced naked-eye feel when gazing through these binoculars at the Milky Way and individual constellations. Compact and lightweight. the Orion 2×54 Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars make a very nice addition to your astronomy equipment. bridging the gap between your larger binoculars and simple naked eye astronomy. Hundreds more stars appear. and panning around the Milky Way from a dark sky site is simply jaw dropping. Features individual eyepiece focusing. a solid axis hinge that holds collimation. fully multi-coated lenses. and includes a carrying case and caps.
