Omegon Binoculars Brightsky 26x82 – 90° + Case (85788)

The Omegon Brightsky 26x82 binoculars are designed for both daytime and nighttime observation. Whether you are watching wildlife at dusk, ships on the horizon, or celestial objects such as stars and planets, these large binoculars provide bright, detailed images across a wide range of applications.

Equipped with large 82 mm objective lenses, they gather ample light even in twilight conditions, delivering clear and sharp views of distant subjects. This version features 90° angled eyepieces, making it particularly well suited for comfortable astronomical observations, especially when viewing objects high in the sky.

A durable hard-shell case is included for safe transport and storage. The case features a custom-fit interior insert, secure fasteners and a sturdy carrying handle.

Key Features

• 90° angled eyepieces for relaxed viewing up to the zenith

• Interchangeable 1.25" eyepieces for flexible magnification options

• Waterproof and nitrogen-filled for reliable performance in all weather conditions

• Lightweight magnesium housing for durability and portability

• Fully multi-coated optics for high contrast and reduced reflections

Precision Focusing

The single focusing system features separate helicoid adjustments for each side, allowing smooth and precise focusing. Diopter adjustment is available on both sides, ensuring sharp images tailored to each eye.

Wide-Angle 18 mm Flat-Field Eyepieces

The included 18 mm wide-angle eyepieces provide a 65° apparent field of view. Their flat-field design ensures sharpness across the entire image and minimizes edge distortion. Compared to many standard models, these eyepieces reveal more of the sky and landscape in one glance.

Interchangeable Eyepieces and Filters

The 1.25-inch eyepiece holders allow easy replacement with other astronomical eyepieces, enabling different magnifications as desired. Zoom eyepieces can also be used for variable magnification.

Integrated filter threads make it possible to attach standard 1.25-inch filters. Light pollution filters can enhance nebula contrast, while neutral density filters are suitable for lunar observation.

Comfortable Two-Eye Observation

Each eye has its own optical path, providing a natural and immersive viewing experience. Observing with both eyes enhances depth perception and reduces fatigue during extended sessions.

Lightweight Magnesium Construction

Despite their large aperture, the binoculars remain manageable in weight thanks to the magnesium housing. This ensures strength and durability while maintaining portability for excursions and field use.

90° Viewing Angle for Astronomy

The 90° angled eyepieces are especially beneficial for amateur astronomers observing objects near the zenith. This configuration allows a comfortable posture when looking straight up, improving both observing comfort and the ability to detect fine details.

Stable Mounting and Handling

A well-designed carrying handle ensures secure handling during transport and setup. The integrated tripod connector on the underside allows quick attachment to a sturdy tripod. For optimal stability, a robust tripod with a video head or fork mount is recommended.
