Barska

Designed like tandem telescopes but with the familiar functioning of traditional binoculars, the Barska 16x70 WP Encounter Jumbo Binoculars are ideal for wide-field astronomical and long-distance terrestrial viewing. Powerful twin 16x eyepieces are set at a 45 angle to put the head in a comfortable position when and individually focused to enable users with different eye prescriptions to achieve tack-sharp views, and fold-down rubber eyecups mold themselves to the eye socket to block stray peripheral light from interfering with the observational experience. To accommodate a variety of mounting options, the sides of the optical tubes have mounting holes for an array of manual, motorized, or GoTo yoke mounts. A mounting hole on the bottom allows for a direct connection to a standard photo, video, or field tripod. Because of the size and weight of these binoculars, a support system is recommended for celestial observation of the moon, comet hunting, watching meteor showers, and also tracking distant birds, animals, or ships.The housing is made of a lightweight and sturdy aluminum alloy with an elegant glossy champagne finish that will allow these Encounter binoculars to become an interesting accent in any room while maintaining its powerful functionality. Not to be relegated to the indoors, the optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fogproof, and extendable sun shades helps to improve views by blocking sun glare or keeping rain and snow off of the objectives. A removable carry handle on the top ensures safe handling during setup and breakdown, and the included hard carrying case keeps the binoculars safe during transport or storage.Optical Performance Ideal for astronomical or long-range terrestrial viewingPowerful 16x magnificationLarge 70mm objective lensesBAK4 Porro prism optical pathAntireflection fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, and overall image contrast147' field of view at 1000 yardsUse and Handling Individual focus on each eyepieceEyepieces set at 45 angle to optical tubes put head in a comfortable viewing position whether sitting or standing1/4"-20 yoke-mount fittings on sides of optical tubesFold-down rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewearBottom 1/4"-20 tripod mountExtendable sun shades blocks glare from peripheral light, and keeps rain or snow off objectives4.4mm exit pupil and eye reliefConstruction Details Lightweight and durable aluminum alloy housing with glossy champagne finishNitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof, and to prevent internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changesRemovable carry handle enables safe handling during set-up and break-downCustom hard carrying case with rigid-foam liningWeight: 8.6 poundsTripod with head or yoke-mount recommended for safe handling
