Celestron Cometron 7x50 Porro Binoculars 71198-CGL

Entry-level astronomy binoculars

The Cometron 7x50 is a Porro-prism binocular designed for newcomers who want a simple tool for stargazing and comet watching. It offers 7x magnification through 50mm multi-coated objective lenses that gather plenty of light for night-time observation. The wide 6.6° field of view makes it easy to scan the Milky Way or track moving objects. A close focus of 26.2 feet also allows daytime use such as birdwatching or scenic viewing.

Steady viewing on a tripod

Hand-held use is practical thanks to the compact 9.0 in x 8.0 in x 3.0 in frame, but the built-in tripod adapter socket lets you mount the binocular on a standard tripod for shake-free sessions. The large exit pupil delivers maximum light to the eye during extended low-light observing. Soft folding eyecups stay comfortable whether you wear glasses or not. A water-resistant body adds durability for outdoor conditions.

Check your tripod and carrying needs

The tripod adapter itself is not included, so verify you have a compatible mount before ordering. The package supplies a carrying case, objective covers, eyepiece covers, a lens cloth and an instruction manual. Ensure the 6.8-degree field of view matches the type of sky scanning you prefer. The binocular carries a limited lifetime US warranty from Celestron, established in 1960.
