ED glass in an 8x56 body — the combination that serious astronomers and twilight wildlife watchers dream about. The Alpen Apex XP 8x56 ED (652) combines extra-low dispersion glass with PXA phase-coated prisms and 56mm objectives to deliver the brightest, most color-accurate wide-field view available in a handheld binocular.

What will you see? Star clusters and nebulae in bright, well-resolved detail, the Andromeda Galaxy spanning the field with no chromatic fringing, owls and nocturnal birds at remarkable distances in near-darkness, and wildlife at dawn and dusk in the richest possible low-light image quality.

Easy to use? Yes. Waterproof and fog-proof, smooth center focus, excellent eye relief, and a standard tripod adapter thread. A tripod or parallelogram mount maximizes the astronomy potential.

What's included? Binoculars, neck strap, lens covers, rainguard, and cleaning pen.
