Observe the beauty of the starry sky at night and distant objects in nature during the day with the BT-70 SF Giant Binoculars from Explore Scientific. Globular star clusters, glowing gas nebulae, the moon with its craters, and even planets can be observed wonderfully on a clear night. With the all-round binoculars of the Explore Scientific BT series, you can get up very close. Thanks to large, light-gathering lenses and professional coatings on all lens surfaces, these binoculars produce bright and brilliant images, even at night and at twilight. The comfortable 45° viewing angle allows fatigue-free use even when the binoculars are tilted.

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 20mm eyepieces of the 62° LER (long eye relief) series are included. With an apparent field of view of 62° and a focal length of 20mm, the BT-70 binoculars produce 20x magnification. These wide angle eyepieces offer a very good overview (field of view 3.1°) at moderate magnification. The large 15mm eye relief and soft silicone eyecups, which can be turned inside out, guarantee a comfortable and relaxed view. Due to the waterproof design and the argon filling, these eyepieces are durable and easy to clean.

Interchangeable 1.25" Eyepieces
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" can be used with the binoculars of the BT series. The eyepieces are held in the binoculars by a precise brass compression ring clamp and guarantee tilt free positioning.
 
Use of Color and Nebula Filters
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.
 
Comfortable 45° View and Helical Single Focus
The 45° viewing angle allows a relaxed observation position even when the binoculars are tilted. Also the individual interpupillary distance can be adjusted in a range of 54 to 76mm. With 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 Metal Handle
A metal carrying handle located at the center of gravity facilitates transport and ensures a secure hold during tripod assembly.
 
Suitable Tripods & Tripod Connection
When using these large binoculars, a sturdy photo tripod with an appropriate load capacity is essential. The connection is made via two 1/4" or one 3/8" threaded holes (standard photo tripod thread) in the tripod adapter of the binoculars. The ideal solution is to use the optional available Explore Scientific U-Mount with field tripod (item No. 01-14300). This is specially designed for the large binoculars of the BT series and carries these devices 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.
