The special glass FCD100 is used for high-tech apochromatic objective lenses. From this glass we have developed a series of binoculars that offer excellent performance at a pleasingly good price. Our binoculars with 100mm aperture are universal ones for astronomical and earth observation. The perfect size when it comes to portability and not too much weight. Thanks to excellent optical and mechanical quality, you will enjoy observing thousands of objects for many years!
With a senseful choice of the eyepiece focal lengths, you can also observe great moon details with different magnifications, which is not usable with "normal" binoculars. The user is relieved by the two-eyed observation, the subjective image resolution and image stability increase significantly! 2x 100mm aperture are already enough for observations of faint nebulae or use of higher magnifications. With a senseful adjustment of the focal lengths of the eyepiece you can, for example, observe great moon details with different magnifications, which remain hidden in "normal" binoculars. The user is more relaxed by the two-eyed observation, the subjective image resolution and image stability increase significantly! Our binoculars with 100mm aperture are universal devices for astronomical and earth observation. The 90° viewing position enables comfortable observation of high altitude astronomical objects without deficits in ergonomics.
The apochromatic objective lenses, made of FCD100 SD glasses enable pure, realistic images with very high contrast. The optical performance is impressive. To ensure that everything is weatherproof, the stable die-cast body was filled with nitrogen. The stability of the magnesium body is impressive. Extendable dew caps protect the lenses from dew condensation even during long periods of observation and can be used as a stray ligh hood during the day observation. Of course, these binoculars have a tripod connection and a stable handle.
In this combination, we also deliver a robust and fitted hard case that can hold various accessories (eyepieces and adapters). So you have everything stored in a organized manner.
