Magnification of 16x out of hand is normally difficult, because every movement of your hands is visible. The Vixen Atera II 16×50 solves that problem with image stabilization, so you can keep a steady image without a tripod, with lenses of 50 mm that capture a lot of light.
That makes it useful for the starry sky: star clusters, craters along the shadow boundary of the Moon or the moons of Jupiter. You can find it near our binoculars for star gazing. ED glass limits color edges around bright subjects, and WP stands for waterproof. The exit pupil is approximately 3.1 mm.
After a cold evening outside, let the viewer come to room temperature before storing it, so that the condensation can evaporate. You can read about what to expect from Jupiter and its moons in view our guide about Jupiter.
Help on humid evenings binoculars straps up to 50 mm against smudged lenses. If you want smaller lenses with stabilization, then there is the Atera II 14×42.
