Just twist down the rubber-covered eyecups and, with your glasses or sunglasses on, you can still take in the whole field of view. UltraViews contain high-index BAK-4 glass prisms, and all optical surfaces are fully multi-coated for maximum light transmission and minimum reflection. Big 50mm objectives and generous 6.5-deg viewing field make UltraViews suitable for terrestrial observing and astronomy. The cast-metal alloy bodies are rubber-armored for water resistance and better grip. Each model is threaded to accept an L-adapter for tripod mounting. Nylon case and deluxe wide-neck strap are included. Ten-year limited warranty. | | | Features: | |

I like 'emDec 31, 2008
By Barth
"Barth"
I've owned a pair for several years, and think that they're great. I've never star tested them, but stars come out pinpoint sharp, focuser is great. I disagree with the previous reviewer that they're for previewing before moving on to a scope: they're much better than that. They've got a 6.5 degree field of view, while most scopes have 1.5 degree or less (depending on how much magnification you're using). So they can see much wider things than scopes can see, like m31, which is more than 7 degrees wide (and is consequently dark and boring in a scope). Nice 50mm lenses for light collection.

Stars in my EyesJan 04, 2007
By Ben Dover
The orion UltraView 10x50 wide-angle binocular is great for pre-viewing and locating the stars prior to viewing then with a telescope. Also, great with the solar filters.

Orion UltraView 10x50 Wide-Angle BinocularSep 26, 2010
By Robert Sanaker
Great set of binoculars. Purchased these because they will work with our without glasses. Purchased for star viewing and they work great. Very clear viewing and easy to adjust for clarity.
Best Binoculars I HaveJan 05, 2012
By Steve
I have compared these binoculars with several others that I own, including an inexpensive pair of 10x50's. I did not expect to see as much difference between my old binoculars and the Orion Ultraview as I found. There really is a considerable difference when you buy a quality product. I am getting great views of star clusters, Jupiter's moons and craters on earth's moon. There may be better binoculars out there, but these certainly meet my needs and I feel I got my money's worth.
