Celestron Cometron 12x70 Product description

Designed for astronomy, but is also a binocular that can also be used for long-distance observation during the day, these 12x70 Celestron Cometron binoculars perform best when fitted to a tripod using the included tripod adapter.
The large 70mm objective lenses and multi-coated optics ensure that a good deal of the available light at night is captured. They also play a big part in producing a reasonably large exit pupil of 5.8 mm, which means that that the shaft of light is large enough for you to adequately make out a nice bright image for a better view at night.
The 12x power is enough to help you reach further into space and thus provide improved image detail, but at the same time the field of view is not too narrow which can make it hard to locate objects or scan the sky. Those who specifically want a wider view may wish to consider the 7x50 Cometron instead.
Eyeglass wearers will be pleased to discover that with 19.6 mm of eye-relief, there is ample space for you to be able to position your eyes at the correct distance behind the ocular lenses with your glasses on.

About Celestron Cometron Binoculars

Cometron by Celestron manufacturer offers award winning binoculars for low-light observations by young astronomers. The 7x50 model was 2014 Space.com Editor’s Choice runner up for best small astronomy binocular. The series consists of two models that are affordable entry-level binoculars for astronomy observations. These durable and lightweight binoculars provide incredibly amazing light gathering ability and sharp focus, ideal for stargazing and observations of planets and comets. Binoculars of Cometron series are splash-proof, multi-coated and uses BK7 glass, foldable eyecups and soft central focusing mechanism.

Important Features

Although Cometron binoculars have a Porro prism design, they are still incredibly lightweight, so they are perfect even for children observing the sky the whole night. Aluminum housing makes these binoculars extremely durable and able to withstand all sorts of impacts with the help of rubber armouring. They are splash-proof so the optics won’t get damaged when using them during light rainy days. The housing is grippy to provide a comfortable handling and carrying for longer periods of time. The bigger 12x70 model has a rugged rubber armouring on the sides of the housing that helps with non-slip grip. Both models are also tripod adaptable, especially convenient for bigger model with higher magnification, allowing you to get steady images without fatiguing.

Optical Properties

Perfect binoculars for children and seniors that love stargazing at night, these affordable binoculars have a Porro prism system, that help with better light gathering ability as compared to roof prism binoculars. The lenses are also multi-coated to help not only with better light transmission but also enhanced contrast and colors. 12x70 model is especially convenient for nighttime observation, since the 70mm lens diameter offers incredibly bright images during the nighttime. Both models offer wider field of view to give a feeling of “sky-walking”. For perfect and sharp focusing, there is a central focusing knob which is very grippy and allows you to make smooth adjustments even when wearing gloves. To eliminate differences in both eyes if you have any, you can use the right-eye diopter that is set on the right eyecup. 

Accessories

Cometron binoculars come with an un-padded carrying case with strap and neck strap for carrying binoculars around the neck. Objective lens and eyecup lens covers are also added in the package.
