    Orion 10x50 E-Series Waterproof Astronomy Binoculars

    Orion 10x50 E-Series Waterproof Astronomy Binoculars will give you great views without having to worry about rain or damp weather conditions. At 10-power, this binocular is more powerful than typical 7x50 or 8x42 binoculars, which means you'll be able to tease out better views of night sky treasures such as star clusters and craters on the Moon's rugged surface. The binoculars' big, 50mm objective lenses collect over 50 times the amount of light that your eye can grab, so you'll be able to see many, many more celestial objects in much greater detail than with unaided eyes. Plus, with the included E-Series Solar Filters installed, the 10x50 binoculars become an ideal Sun-viewing solution so you can safely see sunspots, transits, eclipses and other solar phenomena.

    2.54" ID Set of Orion E-Series Solar Filters for Binoculars

    Once installed on 50mm binoculars, these E-Series Solar Filters display the Sun in a pleasing, natural yellow-orange color unlike the unnatural blue shade cast by some other types of filters. The yellow-orange image of the Sun yields high levels of contrast and clarity for sharp solar views. The lightweight solar filter housings feature an inside diameter (ID) of 2.54", which means they fit binoculars whose objective lens barrels have an outer diameter between 2.38"-2.5" (60.3mm-63.5mm). Their 2.54" inside diameter makes these solar filters a perfect fit when installed on Orion 10x50 E-Series binoculars
