SKU: SR-BINO120STRAIGHT

SKY ROVER 120mm STRAIGHT GIANT BINOCULARS is not in stock but it can be backordered.

 

The Sky Rover 120mm Straight-through APO Giant Binoculars are high quality and excellent value for money, featuring air-spaced apochromatic doublet lenses with Super ED extra-low dispersion elements for exceptionally high contrast views of astronomical and terrestrial objects. 

 

 

The integrated dew shields protect the lenses during long observations and can be used as a light shade during daytime viewing. The binoculars include a tripod mounting connection and a heavy duty carrying handle. The nitrogen-filled housing is weatherproof and made of magnesium alloy for maximum rigidity and lightness.

 

 

Sky Rover binoculars are designed to provide comfortable focus position with a range of eyepieces. The interpupillary distance can be adjusted and each eyepiece can be individually focused thanks to the dual helical independent focusing system

 

 

Two Sky Rover UF 30mm eyepieces are included as standard along with two 2" to 1.25" eyepiece adapters. These give a magnification of 22x and a field of view of 3.18°. The 18mm eyepieces can be replaced by any of the Sky Rover UF series 1.25" eyepieces as shown in the table below.

 

 Eyepiece Magnification Field of View
Sky Rover UF 4mm 165 x 0.36°
Sky Rover UF 10mm 66 x 0.91°
Sky Rover UF 15mm 44 x 1.36°
Sky Rover UF 18mm 36.7 x 1.64°
Sky Rover UF 24mm 27.5 x 2.18°
Sky Rover UF 30mm 22 x 3.18°

 

Note: It is highly recommended to mount these on a tripod such as the incredibly sturdy Geoptik Binoplus Pantograph mount or Sky Rover U-Mount.
