Omegon Nightstar 45\u00b0 Binoculars, 16\u00d770: oblique view and interchangeable eyepieces for 70 mm<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Nightstar 16\u00d770 with 45-degree angle of view sits between ordinary straight binoculars and the Brightsky top-of-the-line models. You get the angled view and the interchangeable 1.25-inch eyepieces, but in a simpler housing and without nitrogen filling. This keeps the price below the thousand-euro mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 3.9 kg, this is a tripod instrument. The 4.3 mm exit pupil and 16x magnification make it suitable for star clusters, the Milky Way and the moon; with other eyepieces you can go higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optics and image<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Two 70mm lenses with branda focal length of 380mm, fully multi-coated, with 1.25-inch eyepieces and individual focusing per tube. The supplied eyepieces give 16x magnification. Insert two 10mm eyepieces and you get 38x magnification for the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image is clear and contrasty in the center; towards the edge, you see some distortion with the standard eyepieces; flatfield eyepieces from the Omegon line make a big difference there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

45-degree visibility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At objects up to about 60 degrees elevation, you sit relaxed behind the viewer. Straight above you it becomes less comfortable; those who want to see the zenith are better off with a 90-degree Brightsky. For nature and the coast during the day, 45 degrees is actually the most comfortable angle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Construction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Rubber coating, integrated handle, tripod thread, foldable eyepiece caps. Not waterproof and not splashproof: this is a viewfinder for dry nights and a dry storage place. An aluminum carrying case is included.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mount<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

3.9 kg requires a fork mount. The Omegon fork mount for large binoculars weighs up to 12 kg and costs a fraction of the binoculars; the Pro Neptune is the more luxurious option with Teflon bearings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
