Large binoculars with 70 mm ED glass objective lensesObserve the beauty of the starry sky at night and distant objects in nature during the day. By customer request, we have succeeded in producing a new edition of these legendary binoculars. The ED glass lenses guarantee enormously high sharpness, contrast and colour purity even during the day. Globular clusters, luminous 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, aircrafts and animals can be seen in detail at long distances. With the binoculars of the Vixen BT series, you can bring everything up close. The large, fast ED lenses in combination with the ultra modern magnesium fluorite coatings on all lens surfaces enable maximum light transmission. Thus, these binoculars produce bright, sharp and high-contrast images even at night and dusk, allowing for a particularly aesthetic viewing pleasure.Comfortable travel binoculars can also be used with photo tripodsThe comfortable 45-degree viewer enables comfortable viewing even when the binoculars are tilted towards the zenith. The BT-ED70S-A large binoculars are 4 kg light and particularly portable. An attached metal carrying handle ensures easy transport and a secure grip during tripod mounting. The binoculars have a standard Vixen dovetail rail as well as a standard 1/4 and 3/8 inch photo tripod thread. They can therefore be used on almost all common photo tripods and telescope mounts.The ideal binocular mountHowever, we recommend the Vixen HF2 fork mount for mounting. Thanks to its sophisticated design and precision mechanics, it offers perfect viewing comfort and practically zero vibrations. Especially for astronomical observations, a solid mount with tripod is one of the most important accessories. This guarantees observation without shaking and allows you to see even the finest details.Interchangeable 1.25-inch eyepiecesStay flexible and use your favourite eyepieces and ideal magnification. The BT-ED70S-A has standardised 1.25-inch eyepiece holders, allowing you to change eyepieces at any time.Which eyepieces can be used?All eyepieces with a 1.25'' barrel. Eyepieces with focal lengths of 8 to 26 mm are particularly recommended. The magnification can thus be varied from approx. 15x to 50x (focal length of binoculars : focal length of eyepiece = magnification). The eyepieces are held in the binoculars by a precise brass ring clamp and guarantee a tilt-free position. Depending on the interpupillary distance, the outer diameter of the eyepiece housing should not exceed a value of approx. 50 mm. Of course, two identical eyepieces of the same series should always be used.Use of colour and nebula filters for astronomical observationsIncrease the contrast and visibility of objects and details by screwing the appropriate filters directly into the thread of the eyepiece sleeves. Of course, colour and nebula filters must always be used in pairs. All EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC screw-in filters with 1.25''/31.7 mm diameter are suitable (see Art. No. 03102xx).Comfortable 45-degree viewer and single focusingThe 45-degree viewer enables a relaxed observation position even when the binoculars are heavily tilted. The individual interpupillary distance can also be adjusted within a range of 58 to 102 mm. The fine helical focusing system makes precise focusing simple and effortless.Retractable dewcapsThe integrated dew caps can be pulled out in high humidity and cold conditions. This prevents fogging of the outer objective lenses and effectively shields from additional stray light coming in from the side.FEATURESObjective lenses: 70 mm / ED apochromaticFull multi-coating on all lens surfacesFocal length 400 mm (F = 5.7)Resolving power: 1.66 arcsecondsLimiting magnitude: Mag 11.0Dimensions: 400 × 190 × 155 mmWeight: 4 kgAdjustable interpupillary distance: 58-102 mmIntegrated and retractable dew capsViewfinder shoe: Vixen StandardEyepiece mount: 1.25 inch / 31.7 mm barrel diameterSingle eyepiece focusingTripod mount: GP dovetail rail, 1/4 and 3/8 inch photo tripod threads.SCOPE OF DELIVERYBT-ED70S-A Large Binoculars (without eyepieces)Vixen finder shoeIntegrated dew capsDust coverCarrying handle
