More about the series EclipSmart...
Binoculars as a solar telescope: Celestron EclipSmart binoculars are equipped with solar filters that allow you to look directly at the sun. Unlike removable filters, which can come loose unexpectedly, EclipSmart binoculars have built-in filters that are embedded in the objective lenses. So you can enjoy looking at the sun without worry.
Although these glasses are designed as binoculars, they are only suitable for visual observation of the sun. They are therefore also referred to here as solar telescopes.
The Celestron EclipSmart 10 x 42 Porro binoculars are one of the most convenient ways to enjoy safe, detailed and magnified views of the sun anywhere. With an aperture of 42 millimetres, they offer a comparatively high resolution. To take full advantage of the resolution and magnification, mounting on a photo tripod is recommended.
Unlike a classic telescope with solar filters, binoculars allow binocular vision. This is not only more comfortable, but also allows for the observation of fine details, as the brain is used to combining images from both eyes. The image appears much more vivid.
Solar Safe Filter Technology: EclipSmart solar products feature ISO-certified Solar Safe filter technology. These filters offer complete protection from harmful solar radiation—including IR and UV light—and also block 99.999% of visible light. Celestron Solar Safe filter technology is GUARANTEED SAFE for direct observation of the Sun and has been independently tested by SAI Global Assurance Services.
Solar Safe products conform to and meet the transmission requirements of ISO 12312-2, Filters for Direct Observation of the Sun, EN 1836:2005 + A1:2007 (E) for an E15 Filter for the Direct Observation of the Sun and AS/NZS 1338.1:2012, Filters for Eye Protectors.
