Optimized optics!

Celestron 10x50 OptiView LPR binoculars offer optimal viewing. They have have built-in light pollution reduction (LPR) filters designed to reduce transmission of light wavelengths produced by artificial light including that produced by most city street lights. In addition they block unwanted natural light caused by neutral oxygen emission in our atmosphere (i.e. sky glow).

As a result OptiView LPR binoculars darken the background sky making deep-sky observation of nebulae star clusters and even galaxies possible from urban areas!

OptiViews block:Mercury-vapor light;Low-pressure sodium-vapor lightHigh-pressure sodium-vapor light.

OptiViews transmit these wavelengths:Hydrogen alpha;Hydrogen beta;Doubly ionized oxygenIonized nitrogen.

OptiViews' selective light transmission will even improve views of emission nebulae both from urban and rural settings. Objects that will show improved contrast include: the Orion Nebula the Andromeda Galaxy and the Lagoon Nebula.

Celestron OptiView LPR filters are made of high-quality flat polished optical glass with more than 40 layers of coating. They're also protected with a broadband anti-reflection coating to prevent ghosting and improve contrast.

Celestron OptiView 10x50 binoculars carry a limited lifetime warranty. That means they'll give optimal viewing pleasure for a long long time! For vibration-free viewing choose the Zhumell Professional Tripod.
