Here are a high quality binocular viewers (bino-viewers) that allow you to view with both eyes open. Many people really enjoy using binoviewers. Not only does this reduce eyestrain but the three dimensional effect can be stunning when viewing deep sky objects. If you are not sure bino-viewing is for you, the BV3 is an inexpensive way to get started. These inexpensive binoviewers may require a little tweaking to merge images but they work well. The Denkmeier and Televue units offer wider aperture, perfect alignment and heavy duty construction. These are two very popular binoviewers well suited for our ED or Apo telescopes.

Standard Binoviewer With SCD Holders/Case Standard Binoviewer with new SCD holders
It's true. An historic review called "Binoviewer Shootout In The Desert" by Jim Gutman assembled 9 observers for a long night of side by side comparisons involving 5 binoviewers. We hadn't produced the Denk II at that time but suffice to say, The Standard came out very well.  After the review, several improvements were made to our Standard binoviewer. It now includes our special SCD Holders and the old Delrin slip-in holders while effective, were phased out long ago. This version includes SCD holders and a Denk Aluminum Case.

Deluxe Denk II Binoviewer. The prisms are polished to 1/8 wave surface accuracy and include special baffling to control off axis reflections.

TELEVUE BINOVIEWERS
Televue Binoviewers. Featuring large prisms, this is a well known, high performance binoviewer offers superior performance. It will  work with wider field eyepieces like the Panoptic 24's. Using collets for each eyepiece this unit maintains precise alignment - eliminating the need to "fidget".  Our favorite binoviewing eyepieces are the 19mm Panoptics. For higher power work we like the 9 - 16mm Naglers.   #BVB-2003.

BUDGET BINOVIEWERS

 
BV3 Binoviewer.  Our new BV3 binoviewers feature high contrast, 22mm BAK4 prisms and they weigh only 22 ounces! This binoviewer will work with any of our "binoviewer-ready" telescopes as well as popular SCTs. For use with our non binoviewer-ready telescopes (such as the Nighthawks, 809D and SV102ED) or any other refractor on the market, the BVA adapter below is required. This system includes the improved BV3 binoviewer with locking, self centering collets, and two fully multi-coated 23mm eyepieces.

These binoviewers come with our high performance 23mm wide field fmc eyepieces providing a 50 degree field of view and 18mm of eye relief. These are great high contrast eyepieces. These binoviewers work great with 23mm or shorter focal length 1 1/4" eyepieces. Our favorite binoviewing eyepieces are the 19mm Panoptics. For higher power work we like the 9 - 16mm Naglers.  


#BV3

$199

Fully multi-coated for maximum contrast and light transmission.

Stellarvue fully multicoated binoviewer adapter.  All binoviewers will work with our bino-friendly telescopes (80ED, 90TBV, 102ABV, SV130, SV145, SV160, SV165, SV190). But when using more conventional Stellarvue telescopes like the SV102ED, binoviewers by themselves do not come to focus without an adapter.  This is because binoviewers have an internal light path that is longer than the travel of the focuser. To compensate for this with the BV3 binoviewer above, use the BVA. This adapter will not work with the major brand name binoviewer such as the Denkmeiers, Televue and Baader. These require their own. It will also not come to focus with every telescope on the market as they all vary. This device screws into the front of the BV3 or other similar type import binoviewers to allow you to reach focus with conventional refractors. It includes a filter thread. Merely screw it into the front of the binoviewer and start using it. The specially designed high transmission optics are fully multi-coated.  Also included is a separate extension tube. Some telescopes require a separate extension between the BVA and binoviewer in order to reach focus. Newtonian reflectors may require two extension tubes which can be provided separately if needed. #BVA
