 THE BIG EASY - Now Includes SCD Diopter Eyepiece Holders
If you have been thinking about purchasing
a binoviewer but prefer to enter the world of two-eye observing with an
introductory unit, you definitely want to read the information in this
section.
For only $549 + S/H, THE BIG EASY provides first class performance and
is far from an introductory binoviewer. The Big easy Package includes
our famous Denk Standard Binoviewer with 26mm prisms, Self Centering
Aluminum Locking Holders, and a 1.25" format correcting system that
allows this world class binoviewer to reach focus at two magnifcations
in any Refractor or Newtonian and three magnifications in an F/10 SCT
including a wonderful focal reduction mode. Just click on THE BIG EASY Manual to see exactly how to use this system for any telescope after reading about the basics below.
For Beginners?
The
Big Easy is a trimmed down Denkmeier Standard Binoviewer Package that
includes the same super quality 26mm clear aperture binoviewer that has
made our reputation what it is today, while starting the binoviewer
inertia seven+ years ago. In order to trim down our Standard Power x
Switch Package, we simply eliminated the "extras" like our patent
pending automatic Power x Switching and our aluminum case. But now, the Self Centering Diopter Holders (SCDs) are included. The end result is that a binoviewer that you will use for a
lifetime is now within reach without making a big dent in your wallet.
The Big Easy is priced similarly to a new class of introductory binoviewers now being sold by so many dealers, but is anything but a beginner's unit. We at Denkmeier Optical assemble and test each and every unit
in our Maryland, USA facility. There is no need to worry about
achieving focus in your Refractor, Newtonian or SCT. This is because
The Big Easy includes a
Denkmeier OCS. We invented the OCS and be assured that there is no need
to search for aftermarket parts from other sources when you purchase
The Big Easy.
Since the time when Denkmeier Optical
innovations allowed binoviewers to be rightfully considered more than
just novelties, a new demand has surfaced from those observers who want
to try binoviewing without a sizable investment. Denkmeier Optical has
responded with our new Big Easy Package. The
Big Easy is built for a lifetime and will illuminate long focal length
eyepieces due to the large aperture prisms that we have always used.
Focal Reduction Too!
SCT
owners will really enjoy focal reduction without vignetting (see our
eyepiece recommendations in the FAQ section) as well as a normal
magnification and 2X. Newtonian and Refractor users will have the means
to produce two magnifications with the Big Easy OCS. 26mm prisms means
superior illumination, no doubt about it. Our OCS optics are housed in
precision machined black anodized aluminum tubes and threaded for 1.25"
filters. Our stealth black baffling and special grooving on the
interiors is standard as it always has been. The coatings are extremely
efficient in eliminating reflection throughout the visible spectrum.
For the very best in performance including all of our ultimate features, choose a Denk II Power x Switch System
($1295). For the amazing convenience of Power x Switching and the super
precision of our SCD Holders at a more affordable level, Choose the Standard Power x Switch Package ($695). For the most affordable entry into the world of full aperture binoviewing at only $549 and the freedom to reach focus in any scope, we now offer The Big Easy.
The Binoviewer
Denkmeier
Standard Binoviewer has brought amazing two-eyed views of planets, The
Sun, The Moon and countless Deepsky objects to amateur astronomers
around the world. We decided to create an introductory package that
would be more affordable to beginners and seasoned veterans alike. What
we did not want to do was
compromise on the quality. The large aperture Standard Binoviewer
included in this package has the same 26mm prisms as it's Power
Switching Cousin and now includes Self Centering Diopter
Holders (SCD Holders). The holders lock the eyepieces
in without the use of setscrews. An internal split ring is collapsed
equally over the 360 degree circumference of the eyepiece barrel for
perfect alignment every time. A smooth sliding motion of the eyepiece
remains possible even though the eyepiece is firmly retained in
these holders. So, the eyepieces are Self- Centered (essential for proper merging of the images) and snugly contained, but still can be raised or lowered in the CNC machined, all aluminum anodized holders. This raising and lowering changes the focus in one or the other eyepiece to compensate for differences in your vision.
We Always Exercise Careful Production Methods
Each
Standard Binoviewer included in this package is carefully hand
collimated and undergoes the same meticulous quality control procedures
that are mandated for all Denkmeier products, right in our Maryland,
U.S.A. facility. We simply trimmed away some of the extras
to make this system more affordable, without trimming away the quality
found throughout.
What Is Included
The
BIG EASY includes our patent pending OCS system that will easily
convert to allow almost any telescope to reach focus. Not only will
your telescope reach focus, but a variety of magnifications will be
possible with the eyepieces that are available with this system. The
BIG EASY includes: The Denk Standard Binoviewer with our lockable
SCD Aluminum Self Centering Diopter Holders, a Patented 1.25"
Optical Corrector System (OCS) for Newtonians and Refractors that
operates at both 1.4X and 2.5X magnifications and then converts to a
Star*Sweeper providing F/6.6 reduction, F/20 multiplication and "normal
power mode" for Schmidt Cassegrain Telescopes (SCTs). For Refractors
using 2" Star Diagonals, an adapter is also included that allows the
important OCS Cell to be threaded to the 48mm telescope-side filter
threads of the 2" star diagonal.
What Is Not Included
The Power x Switch, our patent pending device that allows instant
magnifcation changes is not included. Magnification changes that are
possible with the Big Easy OCS must be performed manually by threading
or unthreading certain parts but this takes seconds. There is no case
included though our optional Denkmeier aluminum locking case is
certainly available for $29. If you ever have wanted to get into
binoviewing but didn't want to settle for a mini-prism binoviewer, this
is a great opportunity to do so! The Patented modular OCS (USPTO
#20040150882) also included with The Big Easy eliminates focus worries
and contains our Fully-Multi-Coated optical components for top contrast
and sharpness.
