Listing is for LEICA Binoviewer for Telescope with integrated LEICA HC - 10x/18 - High contrast eyepieces. These are permanently adapted from Leica DM 500 microscope's head (close to new condition).

I converted them to use in telescope with necessary adapters and 1.25" nosepiece. It works great with binoviewer friendly telescopes (like cassegrain & maksutov). Other telescopes either needs optical glass path extenders (expensive) or barlows (changes magnifications).

* Comes with integrated 10x Leica microscope high contrast eyepieces (25mm equivalent).
* 1.25" nosepiece adapter to put in a binoviewer friendly telescope.
* 1.25" nosepiece can be removed and it got T2 female thread (which can be adjusted using hex screws). This can be used with Baader T2 prism to decrease the glass path.
* This design doesn't need diopters. Works perfect for both eyes.
* High eye relief. I can see entire field upto 15mm - 18mm from the eyepiece.
* Field stop is razer sharp. Excellent contrast without any false colors.
* Uses pretty high quality beam spliter
* Uses mirrors instead of prisms for redirecting the light to eyepieces
* About 21mm aperture to the telescope side.
* Integrated HC Plan 10x/18 eyepieces with excellent contrast. Collimation is good when testing. It can adjusted easily through tiny 3 screws in the side of those eyepieces.
* Tested using my Celestron C6, ETX 125, Celestron 4SE on Jupiter and Saturn and result is outstanding. But works exceptionally good for planets, double stars.
* The alignment is tested and good.

P.S. Eyepieces are integrated (fixed) and cannot be changed.
