Monocular telescope

• Monocular telescope with a 42 mm objective lens. Most monoculars stop at 25 to 30 mm; the 42 mm lets in about 2x more light, and you notice it when the light drops.
• BAK4 prism rather than BK7, which tends to soften the edges of the image. BAK4 keeps the picture sharp right into the corners and passes more light.
• FMC multi-layer coating, with a wide green band on every surface. Fewer stray reflections and more contrast than single-coated lenses.
• Tripod thread built into the body, so there is no add-on adaptor adding weight and wobble.
• Eye relief of 12 mm, comfortable with or without glasses.
• 303 g, well balanced, so you can hold it in one hand without tiring. For a 42 mm monocular with a metal body and a BAK4 prism, that sits at the lighter end.

Monocular telescope: long range in a pocket-sized body

Binoculars are bulky to carry and slow to bring up, and by the time they are out, whatever you were watching may be gone. This monocular measures 165 x 55 mm, so it fits in a pocket, and at 303 g it does not tire your hands even with heavy use. The 23 mm eyepiece and 10x magnification are enough to see clearly past 1 km on your next day out.
