About this item

  • PREMIUM ED OBJECTIVE LENSES: Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberration or color fringing, a visual defect common in binoculars. You'll enjoy razor-sharp images with outstanding, true-to-life color.
  • VERSATILE, ALL-AROUND BINOCULARS: These premium binoculars are a great choice for birdwatching, nature observation, the trail, stadium, arena, or anywhere you want a close-up view of the action without sacrificing brightness or detail.
  • PHASE-COATED BaK-4 PRISMS FOR BRIGHTER VIEWS: The prisms inside Nature DX ED feature quality BaK-4 glass with phase coatings that maximize light transmission to your eye. The result is bright, highly detailed views—even in low light conditions.
  • DURABLE, WATERPROOF BODY: A rubber-armored, polycarbonate housing protects your binoculars from damage and stands up to the toughest weather conditions. They're also fully waterproof and nitrogen purged to prevent internal fogging of the lenses.
  • UNBEATABLE WARRANTY & CUSTOMER SUPPORT: Buy with confidence from Celestron, a leading optics brand in California since 1960. Your purchase includes a Celestron Limited Lifetime US Warranty & US-based expert tech support.
  • BONUS ACCESSORIES: Take this binocular with you anywhere. We’ve included a compact carrying case, objective lens caps, an eyepiece rainguard, a neck strap, a lens cloth, and an instruction manual.

    Product Description

    Celestron’s award-winning Nature DX binoculars gets a major upgrade with the addition of premium ED objective lenses. Celestron’s high-quality ED glass delivers visibly brighter, sharper images compared to non-ED binoculars. The difference is especially noticeable in low light conditions, such as at dawn or dusk. Nature DX ED features fully multi-coated optics.

    The Nature DX ED is a great birdwatching binocular. Its fully multi-coated optics and BaK-4 prisms will maximize light transmission, resulting in remarkably bright, highly detailed image quality, and the ED objective lenses will further enhance these features, especially in dim light conditions. ED glass also helps you spot insects and plants at a close focus of just 6.5 feet. These premium binoculars together are suitable for eyeglass wearers and include a protective padded nylon case for easy storage and portability.

    Our Nature DX ED 8x42 model offers 8x magnification power and maintains a close focus of just 6.5 feet.
    Aim for quality sport optics and get your binoculars from Celestron, the world’s #1 leading telescope brand in the USA. Nearly 70 years on the market!

    Crystal-clear images, amazing binocular
    5 Stars
    Crystal-clear images, amazing binocular
    Incredible binocular! For me its main use is birding, so I was doubtful if 8x42 would be enough. As you will see in the photos, I also have a Chinese 10x60 binocular and the objects are much closer, but the equipment is heavy and it is difficult to find species in movement, like birds. Instead, these celestron binoculars solved both problems, as well as displaying a sharp image, without chromatic aberration. I am more than happy with the purchase.Please consider in the photos that my hand is small, that's why I included so measurements with a ruler.
