    Description

    Listing is for genuine ZEISS Binoviewer for Telescope with
    genuine
    ZEISS 10x/18 high point eyepieces. These are adapted from
    Carl Zeiss aus Jena Laboval 4 Stereo Microscope head (very good condition)
    .
    I converted them to use in telescope with necessary adapters and 1.25" nosepiece. It works great with binoviewer friendly telescopes (like cassegrain & maksutov). Other telescopes either needs optical glass path extenders (expensive) or barlows (changes magnifications). Best would be to use a tele-extenders like Televue Powermate or any telecentric barlows. Or else there are big brand manufacturers that makes optical glass path correctors.
    * Comes with 10x ZEISS microscope high contrast eyepieces (25mm equivalent).
    * 1.25" nosepiece adapter to put in a binoviewer friendly telescope.
    * 1.25" nosepiece can be removed and it got T2 female thread (which can be adjusted hex screw provided). This can be used with Baader T2 prism to decrease the glass path.
    * One eyepiece holder is independently focus-able for diopter adjustment.
    * High eye relief. I can see entire field upto 15mm - 18mm from the eyepiece.
    * Field stop is razer sharp. Excellent contrast without any false colors.
    * Uses pretty high quality beam spliter
    * Uses prisms for redirecting the light to eyepieces
    * About 22mm aperture to the telescope side.
    * Collimation is good when testing. But it can be easily done through tiny 3 screws inside the binoviewers on the side eyepiece holders. This needs to open it.
    * Tested using my Celestron C6 and Meade ETX125 on Moon, Jupiter and Saturn and excellent. It got limited FOV. But works exceptionally good for planets, double stars on tracking mounts.
    * The alignment is tested and looks good. But if you face trouble merging images with regular binoculars, these binoviewers are not recommended.
    P.S. Eyepieces can be swapped with any pair of 23mm base microscope eyepieces.
    Also need to be careful when using this binoviewer. The eyepieces are not screwed or tightened (as done in normal telescope binoviewers). So, they might fall down if the binoviewer is tilted down improperly. Need to always hold the binoviewer in such a way that the eyepieces are always upside.
