FAQ
What can I observe with the Vixen BT Giant Binoculars?
The Vixen BT Giant Binoculars open a window to a vast array of celestial wonders, allowing you to explore the moon, planets, star clusters, and distant nebulae. These binoculars also provide detailed views of terrestrial objects such as ships, airplanes, and natural landscapes during daylight hours.
Are the Vixen BT Giant Binoculars durable for outdoor use?
Absolutely. Crafted for rugged outdoor adventures, these binoculars feature a magnesium fluoride coating to ensure chromatic aberration is minimized.
What eyepieces are included with the Vixen BT Giant Binoculars?
Eyepieces are sold seperately and do not come with the Vixen BT Binoculars. We suggest adding two 20 mm eyepieces for these binoculars.
Can I interchange the eyepieces on the Vixen Giant Binoculars?
Certainly! The binoculars feature an interchangeable eyepiece holder with a 1.25-inch / 31.7mm diameter, allowing users to customize magnification and field of view according to their preferences.
Do the binoculars have protective features for lens condensation?
Yes, the Vixen Giant Binoculars are equipped with dew caps that minimize lens condensation, ensuring clear views even in varying atmospheric conditions.
Are these binoculars compatible with tripods?
The binoculars come with a convenient carrying handle for transportation and easy tripod assembly. They are GIANT, so a tripod and mount is recommended. For the Vixen BT-126SS-A, it is recommended that you add the HF2 Altazimuth Fork Mount and the HAL 130SXG Aluminum Tripod. For the Vixen BT-81S-A, you would want both of those as well as the Vixen Swing Bracket/Mounting Plate to fit it properly on the mount.
Using the correct mount ensures smooth movements and accurate tracking. Depending on the friction settings, the binocular position remains stable, reducing vibrations to a minimum. This is the best way to experience observation of even the finest details without disruption, even at high magnifications.
