Omegon Argus Binoculars 16x70: Top optics in 70 mm, waterproof<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Argus line is Omegon's step up in optical quality: better glass types, a magnesium housing, and an edge sharpness that is immediately noticeable with stars. The 16\u00d770 combines that with a field of view of 4.1 degrees, wider than most 15\u00d770s, and an exit pupil of 4.3 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterproof and nitrogen-filled, so dew and a wet field are no problem. A tripod adapter is in the box; at 16x you will need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Image quality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Stars are point sources and instantly betray mediocre optics. In the Argus 16\u00d770 they remain sharp far toward the edge of the 65-degree apparent field. The Pleiades, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the region around Orion easily fit into the view, and the 19 light-gathering power keeps the background vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Moon and Jupiter's moons, 16x is a comfortable magnification; planetary detail remains out of reach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tripod<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With the included adapter, it fits on any photographic tripod with a 1\/4-inch thread. For extended upward viewing, the Omegon binocular mount with counterweight or the fork mount for large binoculars is a sensible step.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
