Description
The Celestron Nature DX 10X42 ED Binoculars are high-power binoculars designed for use by hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts. They feature extra-low-dispersion glass lenses to deliver bright, accurate images with true-to-life color and clarity, even when observing from long distances. The apparent angle of view approaches wide angle, which helps minimize the appearance of the distracting hand shake that is common when holding high-power optics. The binoculars are also designed to stand up to a lifetime of outdoor use, and the chassis is made of a lightweight and durable polycarbonate that is also corrosion resistant. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to make them waterproof and resistant to internal fogging. The binoculars include tethered front and rear lens caps to add an additional layer of protection in the field, with the ability to quickly react to glassing opportunities without fear of losing the caps. For those long days in your blind, in the field, or if you just want to eliminate arm fatigue or hand shake, the Nature DX ED can be tripod mounted using an optional adapter.
Celestron Nature DX 10X42 ED Binocular Product Info To address the particular demands of hunters, birders, and outdoor enthusiasts—especially when glassing at a long distance—
Celestron upgraded their venerable series of binoculars with extra-low-dispersion glass in the
10x42 Nature DX ED Binoculars. They deliver bright high-contrast images with accurate true-to-life color and crisp clarity, even when observing from long distances. To achieve this optical performance, these binoculars feature anti-reflection fully multi-coated extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass lenses with phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms. The apparent angle of view approaches wide angle, not only to present an immersive observational experience to complement the impressive performance, but also because it helps minimize the appearance of the distracting hand shake that is common when holding high-power optics. Designed to stand up to a lifetime of outdoor use, the binoculars' chassis is made of a lightweight and durable polycarbonate that is also corrosion resistant, making them ideal for boaters. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to make them waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature or environmental conditions. Celestron binoculars include tethered front and rear lens caps to add an additional layer of protection in the field, with the ability to quickly react to glassing opportunities without fear of losing the caps. For those long days in your blind, in the field, or if you just want to eliminate arm fatigue or hand shake, the Nature DX ED can be tripod mounted using an optional adapter. Optical Performance
- High 10x magnification brings distant subjects in for close viewing and identification
- 42mm objective lenses gather the light needed to ensure views remain bright and clear, even in challenging light conditions
- Compact roof prism design provides a slim form factor without compromising performance
- BAK4 prism glass delivers a round exit pupil and crisp, clear images with limited edge distortion
- Phase-corrected prism coatings reduce internal interference to improve contrast, clarity, and resolution
- Extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass lens elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations to produce views with true color rendition without fringing, halos, or distortion across the entire field of view
- Anti-reflection fully multi-coated lenses maximize light transmission for bright and clear images with accurate color rendition
- Short 6.5' close focus distance allows detailed inspections of hummingbirds, insects, flowers, and other flora & fauna
- Apparent angle of view approaches wide angle to help minimize the appearance of distracting hand shake that is common when holding high-power optics
- 309-foot field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
- Closed bridge configuration offers a stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
- Large slip-resistant center focus wheel is easy to manipulate in cold or wet conditions, or when wearing gloves
- ±3 right-eye diopter adjustment enables users to compensate for optical prescription for sharper focusing
- Wide 56-74mm interpupillary adjustment range allows easy use by a wide variety of people
- Twist-up click-stop eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
- Tripod mountable with optional adapter for hands-free use to eliminate vibrations and arm fatigue
- 14.3mm eye relief
- Comfortable 4.2mm exit pupil makes viewing in low light easier and more comfortable
Construction Details
- Light and durable polycarbonate chassis is resistant to the expansion and contraction that metal chassis are susceptible to and which can cause the optical components to move out of alignment over time, preventing the ability to achieve sharp focus
- Exterior rubber armor with textured palm pads o
