What''s more, the binocular is fully waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging of lenses.

If you're after a mid-range pair of large binoculars ideal for wildlife viewing, the Celestron Nature DX ED 12x50 fit the bill. A binocular can be considered fully multi-coated when all air-to-glass surfaces are coated with multiple layers of anti-reflectivity coatings so that the maximum amount of light passes through the glass to the eye. It delivers bright high-contrast images with accurate true-to-life color and crisp clarity even when observing from long distances. Taken together, the fully multi-coated lenses and BaK-4 prisms maximize light transmission for the remarkably bright, highly detailed images.

The only thing I can fault is the magnification is a little high for hand support, you do need a tripod or even better a parallelogram mount to stop the shakes.

If you want to spend some time studying things, like the moons of Jupiter (as an example), you need to support the binoculars.
