Celestron EclipSmart 10x42 Solar Binoculars Summary
The Celestron EclipSmart 10x42 Solar Binoculars are dedicated solar binoculars designed for safe observation of the Sun during eclipses and everyday solar viewing. With 10x magnification and 42mm objective lenses, they provide detailed white-light views of sunspots and the full solar disk while remaining compact enough for handheld use.
Permanently attached Solar Safe filters are integrated into the objective lenses, preventing accidental removal during use. The filters conform to the ISO 12312-2:2015(E) international safety standard for direct solar observation and block harmful infrared, ultraviolet and visible light transmission.
Multi-coated optics improve contrast for clearer solar detail, while the wide 6° field of view helps users locate and observe the complete Sun comfortably. A rubber-armoured aluminium body provides durability without excessive weight, and folding eyecups support comfortable viewing with or without glasses. The binoculars include a carry strap, padded soft case and protective lens covers for transport and storage.

Celestron EclipSmart 10x42 Solar Binoculars In More Detail
Solar Safe Filter Technology
The EclipSmart 10x42 binoculars are designed specifically for direct solar observation using permanently integrated Solar Safe filters. These filters block harmful infrared and ultraviolet radiation along with 99.999% of visible light, allowing safe viewing of solar eclipses and everyday solar activity. The filters conform to ISO 12312-2:2015(E) international safety requirements for direct solar observation.
Permanent Integrated Filters
Unlike removable solar filters, the EclipSmart binoculars feature permanently attached objective lens filters that cannot be accidentally dislodged during use. This design provides additional safety reassurance when observing the Sun with family members or younger users. Celestron recommends inspecting the filters before every use and discontinuing use if damage or separation is visible.
White-Light Solar Viewing
The binoculars provide white-light solar observation, showing the Sun as a natural white image rather than orange or yellow. Multi-coated optics improve image contrast, helping users observe larger sunspots and solar surface detail more clearly. The 10x magnification and wide field of view also allow the full solar disk to remain visible without constant repositioning.
Comfortable Handheld Design
A rubber-armoured aluminium housing protects the binoculars during transport and outdoor use while keeping weight manageable at 680g. Folding eyecups support viewing with or without eyeglasses, and the 12.7mm eye relief allows comfortable positioning during extended observation sessions.
Travel and Storage Accessories
The EclipSmart 10x42 binoculars include a padded soft carry case, binocular strap, objective covers, eyepiece covers and a lens cleaning cloth. Their compact handheld design makes them suitable for travel, eclipse events and quick solar observation sessions without additional mounting equipment.
