DENKMEIER BINOVIEWERS
Select one of the three binoviewers
below for use with our binoviewer friendly telescopes* in binoviewer
mode.
Standard Denkmeier Binoviewer
Compare this 26mm clear aperture Denkmeier Standard Binoviewer
with other "beginner" units now available and the choice is easy. The
holders are not diopter style , but they are our very accurately
machined and anodized, self-centering-locking holders. Never a set-screw
used, the image merge is effortless and of course every Basic Standard
Binoviewer is hand collimated at out Maryland, U.S.A. facility. This is
a great value for the money!

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.
$499
Deluxe Denk
II Binoviewer. The prisms are polished to 1/8 wave surface accuracy
and include special baffling to control off axis reflections. Super
transmissive coatings formulated to provide maximum contrast throughout
the visible spectrum are all features that are rolled into our Premium
Denk II Binoviewer. SCD Holders and fully machined, and laser engraved
aluminum eyepiece holder dust plugs are standard inclusions. Shipped in
an aluminum case with die-cut foam padding. This is a finely tuned
optical instrument worthy or being called the "Premium" Denk II
Binoviewer.
$899

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.
$840
Televue 2X Bino Vue Amp + BVC2005
This is the adapter to buy to get the
Televue binoviewer to work with conventional refractors. Not needed for
our bino-ready telescopes* (NHNG, NHBVA, 80BV, 90TBV,
102ABV, 102T, SV5, SV130, SV145, SV160, SV165, SV190 but required for the NHA,
102ED, 80/9D, and SV4). #BVP-2001
$215
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

Matched set of Stellarvue
23mm fully multicoated eyepieces for binoviewing. This is the same
set that comes with the BV3. Straight insert tubes are best with
binoviewers like the Denks using collets. make These eyepieces
give a 50 degree field of view and the full multi-coatings provide
sharp high contrast views. While the field of view is not as wide as
the more expensive sets, the price cannot be beat! #E3023SET
