View (FOV)

Linear Field of View
The size of the area that can be seen while looking through a pair of V F binoculars is referred to as the field of view. The 1000 yards angular field of view is usually indicated on the outside of the binocular, in degrees. The linear field of view refers to the area that can be observed at 1,000 yards, and is expressed in feet. A larger field of view translates to a larger area seen through the binocular. Field of view is related to magnification, with greater magnification creating a smaller field of view. Also a wider field of view generally results in less eye relief. A large field of view is especially desirable in situations where the object viewed is likely to move, or when the user is moving. You can use angular field of view to calculate the approximate linear field of view by multiplying the angular field of view by 52.5.

ield of iew

For example, if the angular field of view of a particular binocular is 8 degrees, then the linear field of view will be 420 feet (8x52.5). Eye Relief

1x Unaided Eye

This refers to the distance, in millimeters, that a binocular can be held from the eye with the full field of view still 20 mm being comfortably observed. Eyeglass wearers in particular benefit from longer eye relief. Near Focus The distance between the binocular and the nearest object you can focus on, while maintaining a good image and sharp focus, defines the near focus of a binocular.

Brightness A binoculars ability to gather and transmit enough of the available light to give a sufficiently bright and sharp image defines its brightness. The brightness of a binocular also enhances color differentiation in the image observed. R.B.I. (Relative Brightness Index), Twilight Factor and R.L.E. (Relative Light Efficiency) are common indices used in the binocular industry, but are all somewhat flawed in their design and often prove fairly meaningless. Brightness is one criteria to be considered when purchasing binoculars, but is not the most important factor. Brightness is dependent on several factors including objective lens diameter, magnification, the type and quality of the objective lens glass, type of lens coatings and type of prisms used. In general, large objective lenses, low magnification and fully multi-coated lenses are most desirable. Prisms Binocular prisms serve to invert the image and come in one of two basic designs: roof prism or porro prism. By design, roof prisms are more lightweight and compact for portability. Prisms are designated either BK7 (boro-silicate) or BaK-4 (barium crown). Both are economical and highly effective designs. The finer glass in the BaK-4 design is of a higher density (refractive index) and virtually eliminates internal light scattering, producing sharp, well-defined images. Contrast Contrast refers to the degree to which both dim and bright objects can be differentiated from each other and from the background of the image. High contrast helps in observing fainter objects and discerning subtle visual details. Contrast is affected by the resolution. The finer the resolving power (in general), the better the contrast. High quality optical coatings provide better contrast in an image. The other factors affecting contrast include collimation, air turbulence, objective lens, prism and eyepiece quality. Resolution Resolution is the measurement of a binoculars ability to distinguish fine detail and produce a sharp image. Better resolution also delivers more intense color. Resolution is related directly with the size of the objective lenses. Generally, a larger objective lens will deliver more detail to the eye than a smaller objective lens, regardless of the magnification of the binocular. Actual resolution is determined by the quality of the optical components, the type and quality of the optical coatings, atmospheric conditions, collimation (i.e. proper optical alignment), and the visual acuity of the user. Collimation Collimation is the alignment of the optical elements of the binocular to the mechanical axis. Good collimation prevents eyestrain, headaches and inferior and double images while improving resolution. Interpupillary Distance Since the distance between eyes varies, both eyepieces also need to be adjustable for individual use. Most binoculars are designed with a hinge that allows the user to move the

NexStar

series
Designed to be an affordable entry level to mid-level computerized GoTo telescope, the NexStar SLT refractors, reflectors, and Maks are available in the most popular sizes and are loaded with valuable design features. With pre-assembled, adjustable stainless steel tripods, and quick release fork arms and tubes, NexStar SLT telescopes can be set up in a matter of minutes with no tools required! You can see details of the lunar surface, Venus and its phases, polar caps on Mars, Jupiter and its four moons, Saturn with its rings plainly visible and much more! Most NexStar SLTs can also be used as a land-based spotting telescope. Intelligent Design Powered by 8 AA (user supplied) batteries or an optional AC adapter (#18778) these NexStar GoTos love to travel. The internal battery compartment provides power to the high precision servo motors for rigid low-vibration performance while eliminating cord wrap issues associated with external battery packs. With the NexStars ergonomically designed hand control, the user is free to remove the hand control from its holder for remote use or leave it cradled for hands-free operation. With a touch of a button you can select the object catalog, change the slew speed, view fascinating information about an object, or simply know if a desired object is visible in the sky. Celestrons Revolutionary SkyAlign Using Celestrons patented SkyAlign, simply input the date, time and location into the hand control then slew the telescope to any three bright celestial objects in the sky. You do not need to know the names of the stars you can even pick the Moon or bright planets!
