This item can only be shipped to a US address.
Amongst the world's greatest astronomy binoculars, the military-specification Fujinon 10x70 FMT-SX Polaris Binocular transmits an incredible >95% of the light reaching the binocular, and has Fujinon's EBC multicoatings upon every optical surface. It is also equipped with flat-field, distortion-free eyepieces that accept optional polarizer, nebula, haze, and ND (neutral density) filters as your observing needs require.
The 100% fogproof and waterproof 10x70 Polaris withstands drastic temperature and humidity changes with ease, has abundant eye relief for use with eyeglasses, and is the perfect astronomical binocular for anyone under 40 with eyes young enough to take advantage of the 7.0mm exit pupil diameter. Observe remarkable brightness, contrast, and lack of optical flaws, particularly in dark sky environments.

- Nitrogen-purged waterproof & fogproof lenses
- Up to 13 Fujinon EBC multicoatings upon all optical surfaces
- 56-74mm Interpupillary adjustment range

Comments about Fujinon 10x70 FMT-SX Polaris Binocular:
I use the binos for astronomy. I attach them to a "parallel-gram" binocular mount which fits into a tripod. The individual eyepiece focusers are very smooth. The image is sharp and bright. Adjusting the inter-pupil distance is smooth.

Comments about Fujinon 10x70 FMT-SX Polaris Binocular:
I purchased these high-powered binoculars for both terrestrial as well as space viewing. I really like the clarity and ease of use of the glasses.
Some people may complain about the weight of the glasses, but they are big and that would be expected. For me they're just what I was looking for.

Comments about Fujinon 10x70 FMT-SX Polaris Binocular:
Hi. Brought this in the UK a year ago. Excellent flat field, very good eye relief and large rear lenses. All of my fellow astronomers feel they have seen their best binocular views through this pair. Also have 7*50s which perform very well in daytime too. Recommend the 10*70s are tripod mounted. I use mine on a Parallelogram mount. Nothing negative to say about them.
