Specifications

Here are the detailed specifications for the Celestron TrailSeeker ED 8x42:

Key Features

• ED Objective Lenses: The binoculars feature Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass, which virtually eliminates chromatic aberration (color fringing). This ensures images have superior resolution, contrast, and accurate color reproduction, which is particularly noticeable in low-light conditions .

• Advanced Prism System with High-End Coatings: Equipped with BaK-4 prisms that are coated with both phase and dielectric coatings. This combination maximizes light reflection through the prism, resulting in bright, sharp, and true-to-life colors .

• Fully Multi-Coated Optics: All air-to-glass surfaces are coated with multiple layers of anti-reflective material. This allows for maximum light transmission through the optical path for the brightest possible images .

• Robust and Ergonomic Body: The housing is made from a lightweight yet durable magnesium alloy, wrapped in a protective rubber armor for a secure grip and enhanced durability in the field .

• Weatherproof Construction: The binoculars are fully waterproof and purged with dry nitrogen gas. This prevents internal fogging of the lenses when moving through varying temperatures and humidity, ensuring reliable performance in all weather conditions .

• Versatile Close Focus: With a close focus distance of just 6.5 feet (2.16 m), they are excellent for observing subjects at close range, such as butterflies, plants, or insects, in addition to distant wildlife .

• User-Friendly Design: The binoculars feature durable, multi-position twist-up eyecups that make them comfortable for both eyeglass wearers and non-wearers. They also have a +/-3 diopter adjustment to fine-tune for differences between your eyes .

• Complete Package and Versatility: The binocular comes with both a neck strap and a carrying harness for personalized comfort. It is also tripod adaptable for long observation sessions .
