Item #  52071

You were born with two eyes, so why not use both of 'em when stargazing with a telescope? Now you can, and you will be pleasantly surprised at what a difference it makes. The effect is most pronounced on the planets and Moon, but even deep-sky objects seem to have more clarity and depth. And now this popular accessory comes with a thread-on 2x Barlow lens, so you can choose two levels of magnification. The hinged aluminum housing contains fully multi-coated BAK-4 prisms that provide high light transmission. You can use almost any matching pair of 1.25" eyepieces. Individual helical focusing collars ensure a sharp focus for each eye. The viewer's 1.25" nosepiece is threaded to accept filters. The Orion Binocular Viewer for telescopes works with all types of telescopes. On reflectors or short-focal-length refractors you may need to use the barlow lens to accommodate the requirement for 4" of additional inward focus travel.

We used our new binoviewer at a public event for the big full moon of march 2011 and looking at the moon with both yes was really relaxing. And perhaps less straining since the intensity gets split in two I guess. People really enjoyed it, the adjustable width was perfect for young kids. Two members of our club ordered their own Orion binoviewers since then.

These are really neat....I use them on my 8'' meade and put in 2 26mm eyepieces (77x) and the moon is just amazing, I even showed people that dont even care much about astronomy and they really like it too- Even star clusters look very well- The Orion nebula using this is twice the show- I Highly encourage everyone to get one..

This product is very well made. It works smoothly and comes with a nice case. Focus adjustment for the two eyepeices works well. It does require two identical eyepieces, of course. Also, you need a lot of inward travel to use it. It works on my Celestron 11" SCT, but does not work on my 4" TAL refractor. Anyway, you get great views, but I found it tricky to get my eyes and brain to put the two images together. Less trouble with the moon, but harder with things like star clusters. It may require practice.
Favorite viewing location:??Washington, DC
Favorite object to observe:??Moon, planets, star clusters
Pros: quality construction, nice case, smooth operation
Cons: eye/brain coordination tricky
Yes, I recommend this product!

I bought this for wife to help with her viewing objects without eye strain.
We were surpised to see how well it worked it surpassed our expectations. The bino viewer takes away the discomfort of long viewing times and puts back the pleasure.
Favorite viewing location:??mountainside
Favorite object to observe:??Owls
Yes, I recommend this product!
