TS Optics Binoculars 15x70 LE (60485)

The LE series binoculars from TS Optics are known for their excellent balance of quality and price.

LE stands for "Long Eye Relief", providing a long, comfortable distance from the eyepiece to your eye. The LE series focuses on delivering high image quality. The lenses are fully multi-coated, resulting in bright, high-contrast images with good sharpness across the entire field of view.

Ideal for astronomy: With a 70 mm aperture, these binoculars gather twice as much light as typical 50 mm models. This greater light-gathering ability allows you to observe more celestial objects. When exploring the Milky Way, you will see a rich field of stars, including many star clusters and nebulae. For many beginners, binoculars like these are easier and more versatile than a small telescope.

The binoculars can be held by hand for brief viewing. For steadier images, hold the binoculars close to the lenses and rest them on your nose. However, for the best optical performance, use a tripod. With optional photo tripod adapters, you can quickly mount these binoculars to any standard photo tripod. The large aperture then reveals more detail than is possible with handheld use or smaller lenses.

TS Optics is a brand from Teleskop-Service.
