Not all binoculars are created equal, especially when it comes to low-light observations!
Observations at dusk and at night require not only larger objective lenses to "collect" as much light as possible, but large objective lenses alone are not enough to ensure the highest image quality and brightness. Everything depends on the appropriate optical design and construction, using the highest quality glass, anti-reflective coatings, and their careful mounting in a durable, mechanically stable binocular body.
Celestron's Echelon series binoculars are designed for use in low-light conditions. Whether you want to observe mountain passes and valleys plunged in darkness, or the vast, star-strewn expanses of the Milky Way, Echelon binoculars will perform perfectly. Thanks to multi-layer FMC anti-reflective coatings applied to all active lens surfaces and large, 70mm diameter objective lenses, the binoculars provide unprecedentedly high image surface brightness, which is useful for seeing the most subtle details of observed objects.
The Echelon 10x70 model offers high magnification. It is worth choosing for observing small objects far from the observer or for high magnification of star clusters.
Excellent optical quality
Celestron Echelon binoculars feature high-quality, 70mm objective lenses manufactured in Japan. Excellent BaK4 glass prisms have been selected for maximum contrast and sharpness, and all air-to-glass surfaces are coated with multi-layer FMC anti-reflective coatings. These are the same coatings used in Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes and Celestron refractors.
Hand-assembled in the USA
Celestron Echelon binoculars are manufactured using high-quality optics from Japan. They are hand-assembled by skilled technicians in Southern California, ensuring complete repeatability of parameters and high production quality.
High-quality construction
Each Echelon binocular housing is made of aluminum alloy to keep it lightweight and durable, which is an important factor to consider when purchasing. A durable rubber armor covers the housing, providing a secure grip and protection from external elements. The binoculars are fully waterproof and filled with moisture-free nitrogen, preventing internal lens fogging and protecting the optics from the effects of mist, dew, or other forms of moisture. These binoculars can be successfully used in humid night conditions!
Robust case
Echelon binoculars come with a water-resistant, high-quality case with a molded foam insert for maximum protection against dust and moisture during transport.
External individual eyepiece focusing
Echelon series binoculars feature an individual eyepiece focusing system, allowing for proper adjustments for the right and left eye, while ensuring maximum structural stability, free from the risk of wobbly eyepiece bridges and loss of collimation.
Comfortable eye relief
Celestron Echelon 10x70 binoculars feature a 19mm eye relief, making them comfortable to use even for people wearing corrective glasses. The eyecups are made of flexible rubber and can be folded down.
Tripod adapter socket
Echelon binoculars can be easily mounted on a photographic tripod thanks to the built-in ¼" tripod adapter socket. The tripod adapter and tripod must be purchased separately.
