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.

Does not allow "parallel focus"

The optical characteristics of these lenses are great, but each eyepiece must be individually / independently focused. If one is always using "infinite" focus, then it is possible to set once. However, if the object distance changes, each eyepiece must be independently focused. Other (less expensive) Large Binoculars allow ONE eyepiece to be adjusted. Procedure is to focus BOTH eyepieces in PARALLEL (block adjustable eyepiece) and then fine-tune the adjustable eyepiece. From that point on, only the CENTRAL, parallel focuser needs to be used with changing object distiance.

Comet Chasing, Here I Come!

I had been saving up for a long time for a pair of giant binoculars mostly for that famous "3D feeling" in the image that you can only get with binoculars. Not to mention you don't have to squint like you do with a telescope and you don't have as much noise. I know I might be in the minority when I say this, but binoculars are my go-to over telescopes even for DSO.They're also super fun for comet chasing. Which brings me to why I'm here! I was finally ready to buy my own BT to see the 12P/Pons-Brooks Comet this month, but I could not find a pair that was in stock ANYWHERE. I tried Orion, I tried Explore Scientific, I literally looked everywhere. Orion kept telling me that they had them in stock but they would arrive in like 6-8 weeks. Well I found out that's actually a lie because the manufacturer for all the BT binoculars has been on backorder for months and is not expected to have any stock anytime soon. Anyways, I finally found a pair here at Lakehouse & Cottage, but then again I was super disappointed because they told me they were dealing with the same issue with the manufacturer and didn't have them in stock. Well, that is to say I WAS disappointed until 2 days later their customer service team reached out to me directly to let me know they had tracked down a pair for me! I had seriously given up hope. But they got me a great deal and totally hooked me up. I LOVE these Vixens. They're honestly even better than I could have imagined and I'm so glad things worked out the way they did because I never would have found them on my own. Can't recommend enough.
