Celestron Night Vision Torch

A Red Night Vision Torch is one of the most beneficial accessories you can own as an amateur astronomer, no matter how occasional your night sky observations may be. When you are outside doing astronomy, or any night-time activity that requires you to see as well as possible, any white light is a detriment as it causes your eyes to react. The pupils contract, making their aperture smaller, and a smaller aperture always means less light-gathering, whether we are talking about your eyes or your optical equipment. A red torch allows you to see your star charts, find an eyepiece in your accessory case, or pick your way over telescope cables and other obstacles without affecting your night vision. The better your night vision, the more you can see in the eyepiece.The Celestron Night Vision Torch uses two LED’s to provide variable red illumination. Use the thumb wheel to adjust the light as you need it. The square shape of the flashlight keeps it from rolling off of your observing table to the ground. A lanyard is attached so you can wear it around your neck. The Night Vision Flashlight is powered by a 9V battery (included).Key Features Keep your night vision intact by using a red torch when observing The Night Vision Torch uses two red LED’s for even and variable illumination controlled by an easy to use thumb wheel Square shape keeps the Night Vision Torch from rolling away Powered by an included 9V battery
