Celestron Binoculars Trailseeker ED 8x42

The TrailSeeker ED binocular delivers exceptional outdoor performance, making it an ideal choice for passionate birdwatchers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts. Despite its affordability, TrailSeeker ED boasts optical, mechanical, and ergonomic features that rival binoculars priced significantly higher.

ED Objective Lenses: Featuring Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass, TrailSeeker ED effectively eliminates chromatic aberration, commonly known as color fringing, which can degrade image quality in binoculars. With TrailSeeker ED, you'll experience edge-to-edge sharpness, outstanding color correction, and razor-sharp images.

Not All ED Glass Is Equal: Celestron's premium ED glass ensures visibly brighter and sharper images compared to non-ED binoculars, particularly noticeable in low-light conditions like dawn or dusk.

Coatings and Prisms: TrailSeeker ED boasts fully multi-coated optics and phase- and dielectric-coated BaK-4 prisms. This means all air-to-glass surfaces are layered with anti-reflectivity coatings, maximizing light transmission. The high-quality BaK-4 prisms, with phase and dielectric coatings, further enhance light reflection for the brightest, most detailed images possible.

The Body: Crafted from lightweight yet durable magnesium alloy, TrailSeeker ED features a robust, rubber-coated frame designed to endure rigorous outdoor use. Fully waterproof and nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging, TrailSeeker ED can handle the toughest outdoor conditions with ease.

Comfortable Viewing: TrailSeeker ED accommodates both eyeglass and non-eyeglass wearers comfortably, thanks to its durable twist-up eyecups. Adjust through multiple click stops to find your optimal viewing position.

Versatile Applications: Equipped with a close focus capability, TrailSeeker ED excels at observing nearby subjects like birds, butterflies, or plants. Yet, it also provides the magnification and wide field of view needed for excellent views of distant subjects, making it a versatile all-around performer.

Observation Accessories: TrailSeeker ED includes both a neck strap and a carrying harness, offering flexibility in how you carry it. It's also tripod adaptable, allowing you to mount it on any standard photographic tripod for extended viewing or digiscoping sessions. Additionally, it comes with a protective soft case for convenient storage or transport.
