Ostara BM45 20/40 x 100 Observation Binoculars (1 in Stock) The Ostara BM45 Binoculars are of high quality, all-metal construction for long range observation. The 100mm objectives give an incredibly bright image with BAK 4 prisms and full multicoating for ultra clear and colour corrected viewing. The supplied eyepieces give 20x and 40x magnification. Each eyepiece is focused individually for precise observation of your subject. The eyepiece fitting is the astronomy standard 1.25” and therefore compatible with a wide range of different eyepieces. The binoculars are supplied with two sets of eyepieces - 28mm (giving 20x) and 14mm (giving 40x). We can supply additional eyepieces if required. The eyepieces are set at a 45 degree angle which makes for very comfortable viewing when at a high angle of elevation. Each objective lens is protected from dew by an extendible hood. A sturdy carrying handle is mounted between the tubes. Supplied in a foam-lined aluminium storage/carrying case. This binocular is a great choice for astronomy, coastal observation or bird watching.

Visionary HD 7×50 Binoculars (1 in Stock) The Visionary HD series is designed with the idea of coupling magnifications to their optimum front lens size to give exceptional clarity and brightness.
