| Brand and Model: | Celestron 60 Degree Binoviewer |
| Price ($USD): | $475-$550 |
| Type: | Binoviewer |
| Description: | A good performer. Although not as sensationalized as other binoviewers. Can be used with Schmidt/Cass and Refractors only. Older micro-scope head design with 60 Degree angle built in. Built in germany by the Badder planetarium, the same organization who builds the famous Astro-Physics Unit, so you know this is a top of the line unit. When used with a refractor, the focus point is 1/2" outward (yes outward) when compared to a Televue 2" diagonal focus point, so no barlow required. Unit rotates 360 degrees without loosening the focuser lock screws by use of an adjustible plastic drag screw. However, small prizms will not allow full field illumination when used with low power wide angle eyepieces. Also must have to refocus when the interpupilary distance is adjusted which can be annoying when changing eyepieces and adjusting for more than one viewer. |
