Learn More About the 2x54mm Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars

Are the 2x54 mm Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars Right for You?

The 2x54 mm Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars are designed for night sky enthusiasts seeking to enhance their stargazing experience. With a gentle magnification and wide-angle view, these binoculars let you experience more of the night sky. These binoculars are not designed for viewing fine details of distant targets, such as the Moon, the planets, or distant wildlife. 

What You'll See and Why it Works

With their large 54 mm objective lenses, gentle 2x magnifying eyepiece, and wide 72° apparent field of view, the 2x54 Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars deliver an enhanced star-gazing experience while allowing you to explore expansive regions of the night sky comfortably.  These binoculars are enclosed within a durable metal housing crafted with precision-machined components that provide a premium feel. Each eyepiece can be independently focused, and the 60-81mm interpupillary adjustment range means these binoculars will easily adapt to your needs. Included with the 2x54 Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars is a soft carry case, a padded neck strap, a set of objective dust caps, a set of eyepiece dust caps, and (2x) M48 2" filter adapters that allow you to attach optional eyepiece filters to the front objective lenses.

What You Should Know Before You Buy

Are the 2x54mm Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars good for viewing the Moon?

The 2x54mm Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars are best for view exceptionally large targets, such as constellations, the Moon framed above a vast terrestrial landscape, and the core of the Milky Way. While they do provide a magnified view, they will not resolve the fine details of the lunar surface.

Are they portable?

Yes. The 2x54mm Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars are incredibly portable. Weighing just under a pound, these binoculars are easy to bring along on adventures and the entire kit is compact enough to be stored in the included carry case.

What comes with the binoculars?

The 2x54mm Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars comes with (2x) Eyepiece Dust Caps, (2x) Objective Dust Cap, (2x) M48 2" Filter Holders, a soft case, and a shoulder strap.

What should I buy with it first?

The 2x54mm Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars are a complete kit that includes everything you need to get started viewing. The kit includes (2x) M48 2" filter holders which allow you to attach standard 2" filters to the front objectives. Purchasing a set of 2" UHC filters will allow you to observe some more detail in some celestial objects, such as the Milky Way and the North American Nebula.

How do you adjust the focus point for each of the eyepieces?

Each eyepiece has its own independent focus adjustment. Look through one eyepiece with one eye and rotate the knurled eyepiece until the image appears sharp. Repeat this process with the other eyepiece and eye to achieve clear focus for both eyes. It can be beneficial to keep the eye closed, and only open it briefly. This method prevents the eye from making up for inaccuracies of the optical system, and focusing in this way can help with a relaxed long term viewing session that is comfortable for the eyes.

What’s Included and What to Add Later

Setup, Care, and Support

The 2x54mm Ultra Wide Angle Binoculars ship in a single box. The lenses are treated with anti reflection coatings that can be damaged by improper handling. Avoid touching the lens surfaces with fingers or rough materials. Before cleaning with any contact method, use a blower bulb to remove loose dust and debris from the lens surfaces.

Storage in damp or humid conditions can lead to mold growth, which will permanently damage the optics and is not covered under warranty.
