"Best Value" Astronomy Binoculars from SkyNews

SkyNews editor Terence Dickinson has always wanted to offer readers first-class 8x56 astronomical binoculars. Now he has found them: Celestron’s new Ultima DX 8x56 binoculars, the best combination of quality optics and reasonable price available in this size. “In many ways,” he says, “the 8x56 is the ideal binocular for the backyard astronomer.” Collecting 25 percent more light than a standard 50mm binocular and 96 percent more than 40mm binoculars, the 56mm is the largest binocular that is still comfortable to hand-hold. Moreover, the Celestron DX
8x56 is the lightest 56mm binocular we’ve tested. Introductory price: $219

• superb 8-power optics with a 5.8-degree field of view—perfect for astronomy, boating, birding and at the cottage
• fully multicoated optics; no ghost imaging, even on the full Moon
• twist-up/down eyecups for ease of use with or without eyeglasses
• exceptionally light weight for a 56mm binocular
• neck strap, lens caps and soft carry case included
• lifetime warranty from Celestron


$219 plus $46.40 for taxes, shipping and handling anywhere in Canada.
