TS 20x80 IF Binoculars with UHC Filters (SKU: TS2080Astro)

TS Optics 20x80 Triplet Semi-APO binoculars are known for their powerful aperture, providing a viewing experience that is truly unmatched. These binoculars offer high resolution and exceptional light-collecting capabilities, making them perfect for astronomy and nature observation. The built-in UHC filters in the binocular body enhance the impressions in astronomical observations.

80 mm Muscle Eyepieces

Equipped with two 80 mm lenses coated with MC layers, these binoculars offer an extraordinary ability to collect light, resulting in exceptionally bright images. With their impressive capabilities, these binoculars allow you to observe hundreds of astronomical objects, including clusters, nebulae, galaxies, double stars, and asterisms. Compared to 50 mm objective binoculars like the Nikon 10x50 EX, the light-gathering ability of these 80 mm lens binoculars is more than 2.5 times greater. Additionally, it is 30% larger compared to 70 mm binoculars like the Celestron SkyMaster 15x70.

Triplet Objectives

The TS Optics 20x80 Triplet Semi-APO binoculars feature three-element lenses known as triplets, which provide excellent correction of chromatic aberration and ensure perfect image quality. The advantages of these lens-type triplets include a better field size, offering a sharp image across the entire optical axis as well as the edges of the field of view. They also reduce color falsification, resulting in increased resolution, and minimize distortion, providing better representation of object shapes across the entire field of view.

MC Coatings on All Optical Surfaces

To achieve high contrast and excellent light transmission, all the optical surfaces of these binoculars are coated with high-quality MC layers. These coatings significantly enhance the viewing experience by improving image quality and overall performance.

UHC Filters

The TS Optics 20x80 Triplet Semi-APO binoculars come with optical UHC (Ultra High Contrast) filters, which can be inserted into the optical path. These filters greatly enhance contrast when observing gas nebulae and also reduce the impact of urban glow, making them effective light pollution filters. You have the option to use the binoculars with or without the UHC filters, which can be easily inserted by moving the thumb-wheel next to the eyepieces.

Eye Relief and Comfort

These binoculars are designed with a generous eye relief of 17 mm, ensuring comfortable viewing for both eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass wearers. The large eye relief allows you to observe the entire field of view without straining your eyes. It also helps reduce condensation on the eyepieces that can occur when the binoculars are brought close to the face. People wearing glasses will appreciate the option to adjust the eyecups according to their preferences.

Robust Mechanics

The TS Optics 20x80 Triplet Semi-APO binoculars are built to withstand the rigors of transportation and regular use. While they are exceptionally mechanically resistant, it is important to avoid impacts and dropping from heights to prevent collimation issues or mechanical damage. The metal bridge combined with individual sharpening of the right and left eyepieces eliminates common problems such as loosening of the bridge or damage to the central focusing knob. The binoculars come with an aluminum suitcase for safe transportation.
