EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC BT-100 SF Giant Binoculars with 62° LER Eyepieces 20mm

Giant binoculars for observing the starry sky, nature and landscape. Observe the beauty of the starry sky at night and distant objects in nature during the day. Globular star clusters, glowing gas nebulae, the moon with its craters and even planets can be observed wonderfully on a clear night. But also all other distant things in nature and landscape, even ships and airplanes can be seen in detail. With the all-round binoculars of the EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC BT series, you can get up very close. Thanks to the large, light-gathering lenses and the professional coatings on all lens surfaces, these binoculars produce bright and brilliant images even at night and at twilight, providing a special viewing pleasure. The comfortable 45 degree viewing angle allows fatigue-free use even when the binoculars are tilted strongly. Large binoculars can also be called a double refractor telescope One complete lens telescope with the full light gathering power is available per eye. Experience a whole new dimension of observing. Objects are reproduced almost vividly in these binoculars and observing with both eyes is basically very relaxed. Last but not least, this comfortable way of observation increases the recognition of the finest details and effectively prevents rapid eye fatigue. Extremely robust binoculars with magnesium housing, sealed and filled with nitrogen The BT series binoculars are designed for tough outdoor use. The IPX6 sealed and nitrogen-filled design effectively prevents fogging of the internal optics even under difficult weather conditions. The very light magnesium housing saves weight and makes it easy to handle. Two EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 20mm eyepieces of the 62 degree LER series already included. EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC is an established manufacturer of extremely high-quality eyepieces in the astronomy scene. An optical system is only as good as its weakest component. Therefore we have decided to deliver these giant binoculars with a pair of quality eyepieces of the 62 degree LER series. With an apparent field of view of 62 degrees and a focal length of 20mm, the BT-100 binoculars produce a 28x magnification. Thus these wide angle eyepieces offer a very good overview (field of view 2,3 degree) at moderate magnification. The large interpupillary distance of these LER (long eye relief) eyepieces of 15mm and soft silicone eyecups, which can be turned inside out, also guarantee a comfortable and relaxed view. For astronomy, a flat and sharp image field is advantageous and offers a particularly impressive viewing experience even during the day. Due to the waterproof design and the argon filling, these eyepieces are absolutely durable and easy to clean. Interchangeable eyepieces with 1.25 inch / 31.7mm plug-in diameter Adjust the magnification and field of view to your individual needs and choose from a wide range of available eyepieces. All eyepiece types with a plug-in diameter of 1.25 inch / 31.7mm can be used with the binoculars of the BT series. Especially recommended are EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC eyepieces of the 62 and 82 degree series with focal lengths from 8 to 26mm (see item No. 02188xx and 02196xx). The magnification can be varied from 21x to 70x (focal length binoculars : focal length eyepiece = magnification). The eyepieces are held in the binoculars by a precise brass compression ring clamp and guarantee a tilt free position. Use of color and nebula filters for astronomical observations Increase the contrast and visibility of objects and details by screwing the corresponding filters directly into the thread of the eyepiece sleeves. The use of color and nebula filters must of course always be done in pairs. Suitable are all EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC screw filters with 1.25inch / 31.7mm diameter (see item No. 03102xx) Comfortable 45 degree view and helical single focus The 45-degree viewing angle allows a relaxed observation position even when the binoculars are tilted strongly. Also the individual interpupillary distance can be adjusted in a range from 54 to 76mm. With the fine helical individual focusing, precise focusing is achieved effortlessly. Extendable dew caps The integrated dew caps can be removed in high humidity and cold conditions. This avoids fogging of the outer objective lenses and effectively shields additional control light coming in from the side. Integrated carrying handle A metal carrying handle located at the center of gravity facilitates transport and ensures a secure hold during tripod assembly. Suitable tripods and tripod connectionWhen using these large binoculars, a sturdy photo tripod with an appropriate load capacity is highly recommended. The connection is made via two 1/4 inch or one 3/8 inch threaded holes (standard photo tripod thread) in the tripod adapter of the binoculars. The ideal solution is to use the optional availlable EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC U-Mount with field tripod (item No. 0114300). This is specially designed for the large binoculars of the BT series and carries these devices absolutely safely. The excellent mechanism with adjustable friction in both axes allows easy moving and tracking. The binocular position is kept stable depending on the adjusted friction intensity. Vibrations are reduced to a minimum by the massive construction of the U-Mount and the large stainless steel tripod. Even at high magnification there are no vibrations and the finest details can be observed.FEATURES Large binoculars for observing the starry sky, nature and landscape Observe globular star clusters, glowing gas nebulae, the moon with its craters and even planets Also wild animals, ships and airplanes can be seen in detail Highly light gathering lenses produce a bright and high-contrast image All-round binoculars, but especially suitable in twilight and at night The comfortable 45 degree viewing angle allows fatigue-free use One complete lens telescope with the full light gathering power is available per eye Extremely robust binoculars with magnesium housing, sealed and filled with nitrogen Two EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 20mm eyepieces of the 62 degree LER series already included 28x magnification and an apparent field of view of 62 degrees, true visible field of 2,3 degreesLarge interpupillary distance of 15mm to the eyepiece lens for comfortable viewing Eyepieces interchangeable and with standardized plug-in diameter of 1.25 inch / 31.7mm The magnification can be adjusted with optional eyepieces from 21x to 70x Precise brass eyepiece compression ring clamps for tilt-free fitColor and nebula filters can be used for astronomical observations Extendable dew caps prevent fogging of the outer objective lenses and stray light Integrated carrying handle facilitates transport and mounting on the tripod Tripod connection via two 1/4 inch or one 3/8 inch threaded holes (standard photo tripod thread) Tripod recommendation: EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC U-mount with field tripod (Art.No. 0114300) Objective type: Air spaced achromatic lens (2 elements/ 1 group) Coating: full multilayer coating on all optical surfaces Aperture, focal length and aperture ratio: 100mm / 550mm / F=5.5 Sealed to IPX6 standard and nitrogen filled: yes / yes Close focus distance: 25 meters Eyepiece mount diameter: 1.25'' / 31.7mm Adjustable interpupillary distance: 54 to 76 mm Helical single focus: yes BAK-4 prism system for a bright and high-contrast imageDimensions and weight of binoculars: 520 x 270 x 155mm, 6.8kg Housing color of binoculars: white SCOPE OF DELIVERY Giant binoculars with carrying handle (without tripod)Eyepieces ES 20mm 62 degrees LER Series (2pcs)Precisely fitting foam insert for transport Dust covers for objectives and eyepiece sockets Instruction manual

EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC is an established manufacturer of extremely high-quality eyepieces in the astronomy scene. An optical system is only as good as its weakest component. Therefore we have decided to deliver these giant binoculars with a pair of quality eyepieces of the 62 degree LER series. With an apparent field of view of 62 degrees and a focal length of 20mm, the BT-82 binoculars produce a 24x magnification. Thus these wide angle eyepieces offer a very good overview (field of view 2,6 degree) at moderate magnification. The large interpupillary distance of these LER (long eye relief) eyepieces of 15mm and soft silicone eyecups, which can be turned inside out, also guarantee a comfortable and relaxed view. For astronomy, a flat and sharp image field is advantageous and offers a particularly impressive viewing experience even during the day. Due to the waterproof design and the argon filling, these eyepieces are absolutely durable and easy to clean. Interchangeable eyepieces with 1.25 inch / 31.7mm plug-in diameter Adjust the magnification and field of view to your individual needs and choose from a wide range of available eyepieces. All eyepiece types with a plug-in diameter of 1.25 inch / 31.7mm can be used with the binoculars of the BT series. Especially recommended are EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC eyepieces of the 62 and 82 degree series with focal lengths from 8 to 26mm (see item No. 02188xx and 02196xx). The magnification can be varied from 18x to 60x (focal length binoculars : focal length eyepiece = magnification). The eyepieces are held in the binoculars by a precise brass compression ring clamp and guarantee a tilt free position. Use of color and nebula filters for astronomical observations Increase the contrast and visibility of objects and details by screwing the corresponding filters directly into the thread of the eyepiece sleeves. The use of color and nebula filters must of course always be done in pairs. Suitable are all EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC screw filters with 1.25inch / 31.7mm diameter (see item No. 03102xx) Comfortable 45 degree view and helical single focus The 45-degree viewing angle allows a relaxed observation position even when the binoculars are tilted strongly. Also the individual interpupillary distance can be adjusted in a range from 54 to 76mm. With the fine helical individual focusing, precise focusing is achieved effortlessly. Extendable dew caps The integrated dew caps can be removed in high humidity and cold conditions. This avoids fogging of the outer objective lenses and effectively shields additional control light coming in from the side. Integrated carrying handle A metal carrying handle located at the center of gravity facilitates transport and ensures a secure hold during tripod assembly. Suitable tripods and tripod connectionWhen using these large binoculars, a sturdy photo tripod with an appropriate load capacity is highly recommended. The connection is made via two 1/4 inch or one 3/8 inch threaded holes (standard photo tripod thread) in the tripod adapter of the binoculars. The ideal solution is to use the optional availlable EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC U-Mount with field tripod (item No. 0114300). This is specially designed for the large binoculars of the BT series and carries these devices absolutely safely. The excellent mechanism with adjustable friction in both axes allows easy moving and tracking. The binocular position is kept stable depending on the adjusted friction intensity. Vibrations are reduced to a minimum by the massive construction of the U-Mount and the large stainless steel tripod.

The pursuit of astronomy demands equipment that can pierce the darkness of the night sky to reveal its wonders. Binoculars, designed specifically for astronomical use, possess unique features that make them especially adept for this task. Here's what sets them apart:

Large Lens Diameter: The lens diameter, or the size of the front lenses, is paramount in astronomy binoculars. Large lenses (from 50 mm) are crucial because they have a higher light-gathering capacity. This feature is vital for astronomy where you're observing objects in very low light conditions. The larger the lens, the more light it can capture, making faint celestial bodies like distant stars, galaxies, and nebulae brighter and more visible.
Optimal Magnification: Astronomy binoculars often offer a range of 7x to 10x magnification for hand-held models providing a wide field of view. They are used to scan the night sky and observe large objects. Binoculars with 15x to 20x magnification are used for more detailed views of the Moon’s craters, larger planets or bright star clusters. Due to the higher magnification they must be mounted on a tripod for shake-free observations. Special large binoculars even go a step further. These high-performance models come with interchangeable eyepieces and a large focal length allowing for much higher magnifications. This feature, combined with their large lenses, enhances both the detail and brightness of celestial objects.
High-Quality Optics: The use of high-grade optical glass, such as BaK-4, and ultra-modern surface coatings on all prisms and lenses further improve the binoculars' ability to transmit light efficiently. This results in clearer, brighter, and more contrast-rich images, allowing for detailed observations of celestial phenomena.
Sturdy Mounting Options: Due to the higher magnifications and large size, astronomy binoculars can be heavy and unwieldy. This makes a stable mounting option, like a tripod, essential for shake-free, prolonged observation sessions.
Adaptability for Glasses Wearers: Features like adjustable eyecups and sufficient eye relief make it comfortable for those who wear glasses to use these binoculars without missing out on the full field of view.
Focus Mechanism: A precise and smooth focus mechanism is important for astronomy binoculars, allowing you to quickly and accurately bring celestial objects into sharp focus.

What Are the Best Binoculars for Astronomy Beginners?

For beginners eager to embark on their astronomical journey, binoculars are a fantastic tool to start with, offering a wonderful introduction to the night sky. They are easier to handle than a telescope and serve as a great way to "walk through the Milky Way," revealing the vastness of space in a more accessible manner. Here are some important factors to consider when choosing your first astronomy binoculars:

User-Friendliness: Select binoculars that are easy to use, ensuring a smooth start to your stargazing adventures. Features like a central focus wheel and comfortable grip can make your initial foray into astronomy more enjoyable.
Clarity of Image: Opt for binoculars that provide clear, crisp images. Good image quality will make the experience more rewarding and encourage continued interest in astronomy.
Durability and Weather Resistance: For newcomers who are still learning how to handle and care for optical equipment, choosing binoculars that are durable and weather-resistant is wise. This ensures that the binoculars can withstand occasional mishandling and are suitable for outdoor use.
Versatility for Various Interests: When selecting your first astronomy binoculars, consider their potential for various hobbies. If they are suitable for nature observation or bird watching as well, this ensures that your binoculars remain a valuable asset, even if astronomy turns out not to be your primary interest. They provide the flexibility to pivot to terrestrial viewing, allowing you to enjoy and appreciate the details of the natural world around you.
Affordability: As you're starting out, it's important to find a balance between quality and affordability. BRESSER UK provides a range of options including complete sets with tripod and backpack that offer good value. Thus, you get a quality experience without a hefty price tag.

Is a Telescope or Are Binoculars Better for Astronomy?

When diving into the world of astronomy, it's essential to consider the specific applications and your observational preferences to determine whether a telescope or binoculars – or even a combination of both – are the best fit for you. Here are some key differences to guide your decision:

Large binoculars, which can also be called double refractor telescopes, are a special kind of binoculars, which offer compelling advantages. Each eye gets its own complete lens telescope, enhancing the light-gathering capacity and providing a stunningly vivid viewing experience. Observing with both eyes not only feels more natural and relaxed but also enhances detail recognition and minimizes eye fatigue. This dual-eye approach is particularly beneficial in astronomy, where discerning the finest details can significantly enhance the observational experience.

In essence, the choice between telescopes and binoculars, including the larger binocular variants, hinges on your specific astronomical interests, the level of detail desired, and the need for portability and ease of use.
