Omegon Brightsky 45\u00b0 Binoculars 26x82 + Case: the mid-size of the top class, complete with case<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Omegon Brightsky 26x82 with a 45-degree viewing angle is a large astronomical binocular featuring interchangeable 1.25-inch eyepieces, a magnesium housing, and nitrogen filling. This version comes in the matching hard case, allowing you to take it safely with you right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 82 mm version is the choice for anyone who knows this will be their main instrument. You can see the difference compared to the 70 mm in fainter objects, while the difference with the 100 mm is felt primarily in weight and price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

82 mm in 26x: the medium size with extra depth<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The increase from 70 to 82 mm provides 37 percent more light output. You notice that on fainter star clusters and the structure within bright nebulae such as M42. At 26x magnification, the exit pupil remains at 3.2 mm, ensuring that the image retains high contrast even when observed from a yard with streetlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The field of view of 2.5 degrees is still wide enough for most open star clusters. At a distance of 1000 meters, you can oversee 40 meters, which is sufficient to follow a flock of birds or a ship in its entirety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

45-degree viewing angle from the side<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The 45-degree viewing angle is the versatile position. Low on the horizon and up to about 60 degrees in elevation, you can look through the eyepieces in a relaxed posture, even on a standard tripod head. For birds on the mudflats, ships at sea, and the moon above the landscape, this is the most comfortable angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you often focus on the zenith, you need to sit further down under the telescope at 45 degrees. Those who mainly observe deep-sky objects high in the sky are better off choosing the 90-degree version.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fully multicoated achromatic optics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The objectives and prisms are fully multi-coated. This keeps light transmission high and suppresses internal reflections that affect contrast in bright objects. At this price, you get the aperture and interchangeable eyepiece concept of the top class, without the extra cost of ED glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Near the moon's limb and bright stars, a slight color fringe is visible, which is normal for an achromat of this aperture. Anyone who finds this distracting can choose the ED-APO version of the same model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Interchangeable eyepieces and filter thread<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

By default, two 18 mm flatfield eyepieces with a 65-degree apparent field of view are included. They are 1.25 inches, so you can replace them with any pair of eyepieces from your telescope case. For example, two 10 mm eyepieces provide a higher magnification for the moon and planets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both eyepiece holders have 1.25-inch filter threads. A pair of UHC filters enhances the contrast of nebulae from a light-polluted environment. Each tube has its own focusing mechanism, allowing you to precisely adjust the viewer to your eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mounting a tripod<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The 26x82 weighs 4.6 kg. That requires a fork mount with a load capacity of at least 6 kg and a tripod that does not flex. The Omegon Pro Neptune fork mount with the 40 mm carbon tripod is the combination we supply for this and use ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A photo tripod with a video head might seem cheaper, but at 26x every little vibration and sag of the head will be visible. Plan the mount as part of the instrument.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Included hard case<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This version comes in the matching Omegon hard case with custom foam inlay. Two locks, a sturdy handle, and an impact-resistant exterior protect the optics in the car and in the attic. Purchased separately, the case costs considerably more than the price difference compared to the bare telescope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
