Introducing Borg Binoscopes

Borg 125 (5") Binoscope Set

Shown at left is the Borg 125SD (5″) Binoscope set, the first in a full line of binoscopes from 50mm (2″) to 125mm ( 5″) aperture.

3″ and smaller binoscopes, based on the Borg 77ED and MiniBorg telescopes,  are supplied on a compact binocular platform, while 4″ and larger binoscopes are supplied on a larger platform.  Encoders (for use with third-party digital setting circles) are available as an option.

Binoscope features:

• Erect image using mirrors instead of prisms which yield sharp, bright images
• Adjustable interpupillary distance without affecting focus.
• Lightweight components — even the 125SD binoscope can be carried with one hand
• Interchangeable parts with Borg telescopes
• 2″ eyepieces usable with large platform binoscopes
• 3″ Feathertouch focusers for 125SD binoscope

Introducing the Mini Borg 50EDII

Mini Borg 50EDII

Introducing the latest member of the Mini Borg line — the 50EDII (available after June 30, 2009).  This scope features a 50mm ED f/10 objective and excellent baffling to suppress reflections, making it ideal for solar or lunar imaging.  As we have come to expect from the modular  Borg scopes, the mechanical specifications for this scope are compatible with the other accessories for the Mini Borg line.
