Nature & scenic
Magnification

Magnification

A measure of the enlargement of an object seen through an optical instrument. More specifically, it is a measure of the angle subtended by an image viewed with optical aid divided by the angle subtended by the same object without optical aid. Magnification is determined by dividing the focal length of the telescope (or binocular) by that of the eyepiece. Hence a telescope with a 1200mm focal length and an eyepiece of 40mm yields a magnification of 30x. The human eye is considered 1x magnification.

10x
Optical diameter

Optical diameter

The optical diameter (also known as aperture), is the size of the telescope's main light collecting lens or mirror, measured in millimeters or inches. As the diameter increases, more light is collected and the resolution increases.

50mm
Field of view - angular

Field of view - angular

The field of view expressed as part of a 360-degree circle. Holding your pinky finger out at arms length is approximately 1-deg wide. To convert this to the linear measurement of "feet at a thousand yards", multiply by 52.5. For example, at 1000 yards distance, a 7-deg binocular will see a width of 367.5 feet (7 x 52.5)

6.5°
Field of view - linear

341.0 ft./1000 yd
Apparent field of view

Apparent field of view

The edge-to-edge angular diameter of the light emerging from the eyepiece as seen by the eye. It is an inherent specification for a given eyepiece type or design. The apparent field of view of an eyepiece is directly related to the true field of view seen through the telescope; for a given focal length eyepiece, the greater the eyepiece's apparent field of view, the greater area of sky will be seen.

6.5°
Eye relief

Eye relief

The distance, measured in millimeters, between the observer's eye and the eyepiece lens in which the entire field of view remains visible. Eye relief varies with the optical design but generally increases with decreasing magnification. Long eye relief is advantageous for observers who wear glasses, as they don't have to put their eye directly on the eyepiece to see the entire field of view, nor do they have to remove their eyewear.

18.0mm
Exit pupil

Exit pupil

The diameter of the circle of light exiting the telescope eyepiece. It appears as a distinct disk when the telescope is pointed at a bright source like the Moon. Also known as the Ramsden disk, the exit pupil varies with both aperture and magnification.

5.0mm
Near focus

Near focus

The minimal distance at which a binocular and/or spotting scopes can attain focus. Near focus is an important quality for bird watchers and wildlife devotees who want to get as close as possible to their quarry.

18 ft.
Coatings

Coatings

Lenses are coated with an antireflective material to ensure that as little light as possible is reflected away, so more gets to your eye. Good lenses are at least "fully coated," with a single layer of magnesium fluoride applied to each air-to-glass lens surface. Multiple layers of coatings are even more effective; the term "multi-coated" means one or more lens surfaces have multiple coatings. "Fully multi-coated" is even better, meaning that all lens surfaces are multiple-layer coated. Mirror star diagonals are coated with a reflective material similar to telescope mirrors in order to reflect the light into the eyepiece. Standard aluminum coatings reflect between 88%-92%, and enhanced aluminum reflects 97%. Dielectric coatings use a different process to deposit a coating that reflects 99% of the light. In addition to the higher reflectivity, Dielectric coatings are much more durable than aluminum coatings, so they last longer and can be cleaned with less risk of damage.

Fully multi-coated
Prism

Prism

Porro Prisms: A binocular prism system that contains two right-angle prisms in each barrel offset from one another, requiring that the objective lenses be spaced further apart than the eyepieces. Optically, porro prisms often perform better than their roof prism counterparts. Roof Prisms: A compact binocular prism system that allows the objective lenses to line up directly with the eyepieces and hence yields a more portable binocular. Roof prism binoculars lose slightly more light to reflections than porro prism binoculars. High-quality roof prism binoculars compensate for this with special optical coatings.

I bought this pair of astronomy binoculars as an accessory to my telescope and I couldn't be happier. When browsing thru the different astronomy binoculars on Orion's website I couldn't help notice that these binoculars were priced much lower than many other 10x50 astronomy binoculars and specs that were very similar to the Orion UltraView 10x50 Wide-Angle Binoculars. With fully multi-coated lenses at literally half the price. When they arrived I tried them out immediately and the clarity was great. The moon and stars look amazing and they work equally well for terrestrial viewing. Then if you add in the fact that they are waterproof and fogproof as well you have a package that's tough to beat. I was equally happy with the accessories that came with the binoculars which include: a carrying case, neck strap, lens covers, and a lens cleaning cloth. I honestly could not be happier with this purchase and encourage anyone that is interested in a pair of astronomy binoculars to purchase these for amazing quality at a great value.

Favorite viewing location:??With these anywhere is good

Favorite object to observe:??The Moon & Stars not viewable with the naked eye

Pros: excellent optics, included accessories, waterproof/fogproof, great price

Cons: a little heavy after awhile

Yes, I recommend this product!
