Overcome the limitations of binoculars - less than ideal resolution and colour correction, lack of interchangeable eyepieces, and the size and weight of high powered binoculars can make them unwieldy and too limited for all but the most enthusiastic!

The Usual Tele Vue
Attention to Detail

To permit Bino Vue to reach focus with any telescope, Tele Vue engineered an optical elimination of its 5.1" path length. THe special compensator lens system makes the Bino Vue parfocal when fully inserted to its stop and, results in only a 2x increase in magnification. The compensator lens also corrects for prism effects that can degrade high power viewing.

For short focal length scopes such as the Tele Vue-76, Tele Vue-85 and Tele Vue-NP101, the 2x amplification results in low powers down in the 30x range. Even larger instruments will find the Bino Vue extremely versatile. For example, a 13.5" f/4.5 Dobsonian, would have a low power limit of 96x with a pair of 32mm Plossls.

SCTs have enough focus travel to use Bino Vue without the compensator. For any scope that can accept Bino Vue's 5.1" of path length, Tele Vue thoughtfully include an empty tube to install in place of the amplifier assembly.

Finally, Tele Vue tests the collimation and image quality of each unit. This time and labour intensive operation is essential for a binocular viewer used at planetary magnifications. Collimation is critical and delicate. Tele Vue has the facility and expertise to service the Bino Vue should it be required. You always have that assurance with Tele Vue.

Bino Vue Operation

Bino Vue comes standard with the Flat Coupler and 2x Amplifier installed on the body. This permits the Bino Vue to be used in all telescopes with just a moderate focuser intravel requirement. The 2x Amplifier has filter threads to accept 1¼" filters. The Flat Coupler provides enough space for the inclusion of filter without hitting the diagonal mirror when using 2" Tele Vue diagonals and the 2" - 1¼" Tele Vue "High-Hat" adapter.
