      The central post is threaded for a ¼”-20 tripod adapter, but the barrels are so close together, most adapters would be too thick to fit well. But the tripod socket is present under the threaded cap if you would like to build something for it. As for the diopter adjustment, the range is -4.7/+3.7.

      They work great with eye glasses ( mine are rather small profile ( not big /wide lens eye glass)) .
      Also, using Alpine Innovations Bino Bandits on it makes it that much better. The entire kit..2x54 binos, Bino Bandits and stock bino neck strap all fit within the stock bino pouch..
      PS..using the set up handheld is a breeze.. but supporting it on a monopod/ballhead/bino adaptor makes it sooo much better-- you'll pick up details through the binos that you would never have noticed just hand holding them..

    hey Ken, can I used the orion #13031 reflector focuser on the orion sktscanner 100?. the one I just bought must have been built on a monday or friday, the focuser is real sloppy and they glued the mirror onto the rear cover out of alignment with the secondary. so I am going to rebuild it as its easier than having my friend come into town, to pick me up so I can send it back under warranty. so I am looking to replace the focuser and build a new mirror cell. amazon claims that the 13031 fits 4 inch and up tubes, but are these any better than the stock one one the skyscanner 100?. btw Ken if anyone gives you shit about going bald, just tell them God only created so many perfect heads and the rest he had to cover with hair!.

    I would have thought the improvement in limiting magnitude achieved by these binoculars should be much better than the 1 to 1.5 magnitude quoted in the video. The gain in limiting magnitude for binoculars is 2.52 x Log(light collecting area of binoculars/area of dilated human eye pupil). If we assume the diameter of a fully dilated eye pupil is 8 mm. Then the improvement in limiting magnitude should be about 4

      @@steafanmaciarfhlatha8497 In a Galillean scope the *aperture stop* is not the objective lens, but the eye's pupil. From the point of view of the object looking at the scope, this aperture appears magnified by the MP of the scope, as if your eye was that much bigger. Hence the *brightness* also depends directly on the *user's pupil size* (times the fixed magnification factor), which happens to be a disadvantage for presbyopic age users, where pupils don't dilate as much as younger ages. There is no *exit pupil* in a Galilean scope to be matched to the eye's *entrance pupil*. Thus whatever brightness you see unaided, will be brighter by the magnification factor, when looking through a Galilean scope. Contrast this with Keplerian scopes, where the aperture stop is the objective diameter, the exit pupil is the image of the aperture stop (i.e., the objective) formed by the eyepiece lens, the brightness increase is the ratio of the aperture stop diameter to the MIN(exit pupil,eye entrance pupil) diameter, and an exit/entrance pupil match yields full transfer of all the light collected by the objective. See Warren Smith, _Modern Optical Engineering_ 1990, p. 246.

      @@steafanmaciarfhlatha8497 If Galilean brightness == MP seems counter to intuition, imagine looking through a flat, thick pane of glass, which is equivalent to a 1X (non-magnifying) Galilean scope (the flat glass can be imagined as a stack of two elements, one positive and one negative focal length, with f_o = -f_e, in contact), if you will. The 1X brightness is the same as looking through air, and depends only on your eye pupil size. The brightness does not depend on the size of the panes of glass. The field of view depends on the apertures and eye's position (keyhole effect), not the focal lengths. Now imagine how none of this logic of brightness and FOV changes, just because you increase f_o > -f_e to realize magnification MP = -f_o/f_e to be > 1.
      Another benefit of this thought experiment is that you can brag to your friends that your house's windows are actually telescopes (with 1X magnification)!

    SEEING THE STARS AS KITTY CAT SEES THEM. (This product is the first stab I am aware of of anything like the following memo proscribes. It is NOT the same optical system described below, but I think in about ten years, when what is laid forth below becomes possible, this product will be seen as a kind of trailblazer:
    )
    In addition to "naked eye Astronomy" and astronomy with a telescope, there will eventually be something which could be called, "kitty cat astronomy." Cats have something like 6x the rod cells as human eyes do, but far less cone cells, meaning they can see very faint objects, but lack the human ability to see intricate colors and detail. Cats do not have better vision than humans, but better night vision. Humans have better vision for the things they have evolved for, such as reading books and working on machines during the day. If the human pupil were a bit less than an inch wide, we could theoretically see as brightly as a cat sees at night. Orion Telescope Company has actually produced a purely optical wide angle "binocular-google" that boosts human BRIGHTNESS vision by four times. With new negative refraction metalens optics now being developed, capable of extremely short focal ratios as well as off-axis focusing, such a system could eventually be fitted into something the size of a pair of eyeglasses. The trick is getting all that aperture into an exit pupil under 7 mm wide, the width of the human pupil at maximum, in dark settings. Otherwise, that extra light is going to waste. Flat lens systems can be designed with ultra low focal ratios, such as F1 or F2, meaning that this would be possible. A pair of eyeglasses could incorporate an under-one-inch optical system, if it were thin enough. Note that it would not be the same as a simple pair of glasses, but an actual telescopic system, collapsed down into a very thin package--with magnification 1x, and brightness intensification 6x or 10x or whatever.
    (This product has already gotten it to 4x light intensification using traditional lenses, with a 2x magnification, meaning that if it had 1x magnification, it would be correspondingly greater.)
    Moreover, since flat lens optics can just as easily create off-axis focal planes (not down the center of the objective lens as with traditional optics), such metalens "binocular-googles" could also be made arbitrarily large. This is because the space between the eyes of about 1.5 inches complicates the size of diameters for the objective lenses. This is why binoculars have to reroute the images through mirrors or prisms, to fit into eyepieces that are the same distance apart as your eyes. However, with flat off-axis lenses, there could be a straight simple line directly to your eyes. (The focal point, instead of being perpendicular to the focal axis of the lenses, could be designed to hit near the edge of the axis.) They also need not be round, but could be oval, square or even star-shaped. This is all possible with flat, laser lithography imprinted meta-optics. With moderately larger googles we could even see as well as an OWL, or even better.

      In the video we talk about exit pupil at about 4:17. This Galilean optical design works differently than a standard Keplarian style binocular like a regular 10x50 with a 5mm exit pupil. This has a “virtual” exit pupil located inside the optics, so that rule doesn’t apply. Brightness is purely based on the magnification of this style, and field of view is purely based on the diameter of the lens. It's very different from other binocular designs.
