Seeing color accurately is integral to sky-viewing experiences, and the Standard addresses color brilliantly. The 20x80 Standard has excellent color correction and edge-of-field sharpness due to its relatively long focal length. It offers extraordinary astronomical viewing, and is also a great choice for long-range terrestrial observation - especially when viewing under low-light conditions.
The giant 80mm objectives gather a great deal of light (30% more than 70mm objectives), yet contrast is excellent. Includes the finest BAK4 prisms and is fully broadband multi-coated. It has a long 18mm eye relief (unusual for such a high-magnification binocular), so it can be used by those who wear glasses. Lightweight rubber-armored 15-inch-long body. Also includes right ocular diopter adjustment, soft rubber ocular and objective covers, and a carrying case.
