Product information "BRESSER NightExplorer 7x50 Astronomy-Binoculars"

The BRESSER NightExplorer 7x50 astronomy binoculars are ideal for terrestrial observations in poor light conditions and discovering the night sky. They feature a 50-millimetre objective that lets in plenty of light. Thanks to the 7x magnification, objects that are 700 metres away appear to be just 100 metres in front of you. Compared with binoculars with a higher magnification, these binoculars allow you to see much more. At a distance of 1000 metres, the field of view is 126 metres wide. On clear nights, you can view large objects such as the Milky Way. During the day, you can explore fascinating landscapes until twilight.

Coating
In order to further increase the light transmission and counteract reflections, the premium BaK-4 optics (barium crown glass) have a full multi-layer coating.

Focusing
The 7x50 Porro binoculars also feature an individual eyepiece focus to ensure that you obtain a sharp image. This is set at a large depth of field. You only need to adjust the focus if the next object is far away from the previous one. To view objects in the immediate vicinity, you can adjust the close focus from 8 metres.

Crystal-clear image, even when wearing glasses
The binoculars are also suitable for people with visual impairments: the rubber eyecups can be folded over so that you can look through the eyepieces while wearing glasses and see the entire field of view. The dioptre adjustment of +/- 6 allows you to compensate for small differences in vision between each eye.

Weatherproof and robust
The Porro binoculars also produce an excellent image in poor weather conditions such as fog and rain. It features a waterproof design to ensure that no liquid gets inside the housing. The binoculars are also filled with nitrogen to prevent the lenses from fogging up. In addition, they have an ergonomic rubber armouring that provides a comfortable and secure grip and protects the sensitive optics against impacts/

Portable design
The binoculars come with a lightweight aluminium tripod so that you can make observations from a fixed location. If you need to travel a little further, both the tripod and the binoculars can be transported in a practical backpack, which is also included with the set.

Observe in poor light conditions and discover the night sky with the BRESSER NightExplorer 7x50 astronomy binoculars!

BRESSER Astro & Marine SF 10x50 WP binoculars
The ASTRO & MARINE binoculars from BRESSER are ideal for astronomy and maritime use, e.g. sailing and water sports enthusiasts. Robust and weatherproof per IPX6 levelThanks to their ergonomic rubber armouring, these binoculars fit securely in the hand and are also well protected against shocks and bumps. The binoculars are waterproof and filled with nitrogen. This effectively prevents fogging of the lenses, even in unfavourable weather conditions. Lightweight with tripod connection threadThe robust, yet very light construction is made possible by the most modern magnesium housing construction. Magnesium is around 35% lighter than aluminium. Due to the moderate 10x magnification and the low weight, these 10x50s are also very well suited for hands-free use. Nevertheless, there is a tripod connection thread on the centre axis. This means that the ASTRO & MARINE model can also be mounted securely on a photo tripod using the tripod adapter (Art.4914925) which is included as part of the package. Although this is not absolutely necessary with a magnification of 10x, it is highly recommended, especially for long-time astronomical observations, in order to obtain an absolutely steady image. Eyepieces for comfortable viewingThe precise single eyepiece focusing (SF) makes it possible to focus the binoculars once and then clearly observe all resolvable objects in the night sky, or on the horizon. In addition, this design prevents accidental change of focus. Foldable rubber eyecups and eyepieces with a comfortable eye relief distance (WP) of 20mm also allow those who have to wear glasses to observe, to use the entire field of view. High quality opticsThanks to fully multi-coated Bak4 optics, large 50mm objective lens diameter and the well-corrected eyepieces with 5 lenses in 3 groups, these excellent binoculars produce sharp and brilliant images. The maximum reduction of stray light achieved by internal baffles and housing/edge blackening, results in the best possible optical image and perfect contrast, even in difficult light conditions and especially at night.FEATURESBinoculars for astronomy, landscape observation and water sportsWaterproof per IPX6 level and filled with nitrogen to prevent lens foggingAlso for use in unfavourable weather conditionsExtremely high light gathering optics, making them ideal for night-time observationModerate magnification for a steady image, even when hand-holdingMagnification: 10x / Lens diameter: 50mmSingle eyepiece focus (SF) and foldable rubber eyecups, also suitable for spectacle-wearersWide pupil distance (WP) of 20mm for comfortable viewingWell corrected eyepieces for ultimate image sharpness and pinpoint star imagesModern multi-layer coatings on all lens surfaces for high light transmissionErgonomic rubber armouring - very good grip and protects against shocks and bumpsRobust construction, yet still lightweight due to magnesium housingDimensions: 191 x 202 x 66 mm / Weight: 1165 grams / Colour: blackTripod connection thread 1/4 inch available on the binocular bridgeMetal photo tripod adapter already included in deliveryWHAT'S INCLUDED Binoculars Carrying strap Dust caps Nylon travel bag Photo tripod adapter (Art. 4914925) Instruction manual

BRESSER Lyra 70/900 EQ3 Refractor Telescope with Smartphone Adapter & Solar Filter
Unpack, set up, enjoy – with this complete telescope set you will soon begin your first exploration of the night sky. All the equipment for your new, exciting hobby is already included: the lens telescope with 70 mm aperture and 900 mm focal length, the equatorial mount, the tripod and a wide range of accessories for astronomical observations. Ideal for beginners: the system is very easy to handle and can even be used by children. Well-proven design for an easy beginning – the telescope With this set you'll start your voyage of discovery to the stars with a classic refracting telescope, a so-called achromatic refractor of the Fraunhofer type. The advantage of this particular design: even beginners as well as children can use it with ease. In addition, the Lyra refracting telescope impresses with good imaging properties due to its modern, precisely coated optics. If you compare this entry-level telescope to a corresponding astronomical telescope with a 60 mm aperture, you will notice: With its 70 mm aperture, the Lyra already collects 36 % more light. It also offers better resolution. In addition, 70 mm aperture and 900 mm focal length result in a very large focal ratio (ratio of aperture to focal length) of about 1 to 12.9 (F/12.9). The impressive result: a very sharp image with good contrast. Enjoy the view of our natural satellite, the Moon. Or take a look at the planets. Even the famous Pleiades sparkle captivatingly in your field of view. For the long focal length makes the telescope a specialist for observing the Moon, Sun, planets and open as well as globular clusters. And how big will these eye-catchers of the sky appear? Thanks to the 70 mm aperture, the resolution allows magnifications of up to 140x with really sharp images. Technically, much more would be possible – theoretically up to 675x using the included accessories. However, then the image sharpness could slowly decrease with increasing magnification. Of course – as with everything in astronomy – the prevailing conditions also play a role: So, how much you can actually magnify is determined not only by your telescope's performance but also by the air turbulence in the atmosphere (seeing conditions). Perfect foundation for your glimpse into space – mount and tripod Once you have found the ideal location for your astronomical telescope, you can quickly start exploring the sky. Simply mount the tube with the equatorial mount on the height-adjustable aluminium tripod. This special type of mount has the advantage of particularly convenient tracking: for this purpose, an axis is aligned parallel to the Earth's axis by pointing it approximately at Polaris during the so-called "alignment". Afterwards, the movement of the celestial bodies can be conveniently compensated for on this one axis rather than on both at the same time, as is the case with an azimuthal mount. In addition, the two flexible shafts with fine adjustment ensure the very precise and comfortable adjustment and tracking of the entry-level telescope. Always the right accessories at hand: the storage plate between the tripod legs provides space for eyepieces, barlow lens, solar filter etc.Keep track of things automatically: For this telescope’s equatorial EQ-3 mount, the tracking motor with item number 4951400 is available as an optional accessory. This eliminates the need to manually track a celestial object set in the telescope. When this motor is installed at the mount, it automatically tracks the celestial object, keeping it in the field of view of the eyepiece. This makes observing the night sky even more comfortable! All-round equipment for astronomy newbies – the accessories Moon, planets or the Sun – with the extensive accessories you will get the best out of your astronomical telescope for any observation object. But initially, the LED viewfinder helps you find the nocturnal celestial bodies in the first place. To do this, the direction finder is installed and aligned parallel to the actual telescope. When you then look through it, a small red dot appears to hover in front of the sky. It shows you the spot at which the telescope is pointed. In this way, you precisely align the tube and easily find your objects before you gaze at them through the higher magnification of the telescope. Change of perspective for stargazers: using the two eyepieces you achieve different magnifications. They can be switched easily: With their standard socket diameter of 1.25 inches (31.7 mm), they are simply inserted into the eyepiece focuser of the entry-level telescope. Looking for even more detail? Then grab the 3x barlow lens and triple the magnification of the eyepieces. Comfortable observation at all times: a 90-degree star diagonal mirror is included. So, even if the telescope points vertically upwards into the sky, you can still look in comfortably from the side. For exciting discoveries during the day simply attach the safe solar filter to the telescope’s aperture. This way you can take a closer look at our own star and marvel at sunspots and granulation on the sun. CAUTION: Never point the telescope at the sun without the solar filter! Take the plunge into the fascinating world of astrophotography with the smartphone adapter. It allows you to use your smartphone as a camera on the telescope – and easily take exciting snapshots of your favourite celestial bodies such as the Moon or the Sun. FEATURES Beginner’s lens telescope with 70 mm aperture and 900 mm focal length Achromatic refractor type Fraunhofer Well suited for observing the Sun, Moon, planets and star clusters Height-adjustable tripod with equatorial EQ3 mount Sensitive adjustment through flexible shafts and fine adjustment in both axes Easy to use, very suitable for beginners and children Focal ratio F/12.9, thus very sharp image and high contrast 1.25 inch (31.7 mm) eyepiece focuser Two eyepieces and one barlow lens with 1.25 inch (31.7 mm) extension tubes for different magnifications Safe solar observation with the included solar filter First steps in astrophotography with smartphone camera adapter SCOPE OF DELIVERY Telescope Aluminium tripod Equatorial EQ3 mount Eyepieces: 4 mm and 20 mm (1.25 inch sockets) Barlow lens, 3x (1.25 inch socket) Star diagonal mirror LED illuminated dot finder Solar filter Smartphone camera adapter Accessory tray Astronomy software download Instruction manual
