Oregon Observation binoculars are excellent value for money for the first time or occasional user looking for a pair of large objective lens binoculars for long range terrestrial observation and star gazing. The 70mm objectives and BAK 4 prism multi-coated optical system combine to deliver bright crisp images with good colour contrast and minimal chromatic aberration. Long eye relief eyepieces enable you to get the full field of view with or without glasses.
Oregon Observation binoculars are supplied in a soft carry case with rainguard, wide nylon strap and objective lens caps

Overall, then, this is a very competent entry-level binocular for anybody who wants ultra-portable and wide-angle views of deep-sky objects.
