Celestron 71454 Echelon 20x70 BaK-4 Prism Binoculars, Black

Product Information

There is a thick rubber coated track on top of the housing, which has a number raised oblong oval shapes on it that help with grip for when you are adjusting the focus. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

But at the same time, if the difference were to be mind blowing with the current crop of new binoculars what with their modern prisms and coatings I could be sorely tempted to treat myself. As they are designed for long distance observation this should never really be a problem, but may be something to keep in mind for some. Our Orion 20x70 Astro-Binoculars are ideal for extensive astronomical exploration of the many wonders of the night sky.Because you have to adjust each eyepiece separately, it does take a little longer to focus on closer objects than most "normal" binoculars that only require you to turn a single often centrally located focus wheel that adjusts the focus on both eyepieces simultaneously. Also included are details of the lifetime warranty and what you need to do should they need any servicing or repairs.

This is especially true because the quality of the optics and their coatings are sure to be of a lesser quality on the cheaper SkyMaster's which also plays a major role in brightness and quality of view.Their iconic shape, with the ocular lenses closer together than their objectives, means that you can almost instantly tell that these Celestron Echelon binoculars have porro prisms inside of them. The APMs show much better daytime color correction and show sharp images right out to the field stop.

Add to this the individual or fixed focus mechanism that requires them to have a really long depth of view and it is no wonder that they have a very far near focus of 328ft. Celestron also include a cleaning cloth, that is fine for emergency use out in the field of for cleaning the body with. Their very popular SkyMaster series is aimed at the more budget conscious user (for example see my review of the Celestron SkyMaster 25x70 Binoculars), whilst the Echelon series that are put together by hand in the USA using high end Japanese optics is focused more on quality: material quality, build quality and the image quality.The ocular lenses are 25mm in diameter on these Celestron Echelon 20x70 binoculars which is pretty larger and as you may expect somewhat larger than those found on most standard sized bins in my experience.
