TeleVue BINO VUE Instructions

Concept: At Tele Vue, the driving force has always been to get as close as possible Concept Concept Concept
to the contrast, resolution and field of the most remarkable instrument of all: the
human eye. While always respecting the need for viewing comfort, convenience and
value, we have broken through conventional barriers to bring you eyepieces and
telescopes with performance dramatically closer to the "spacewalk viewing" goal.
One major limitation has been the lack of binocular viewing. Look at the night sky
with one eye closed. It's missing a lot. Open both eyes and see the dramatic
improvement in resolution, contrast, faint star detection and viewing comfort. All
this plus an illusion of depth. Yes, your brain loves two eyed viewing, even when
it is not true stereo. Open your eyes and mind to Bino Vue — Al Nagler

double star, and globular clus-

denied.

Our 2.0x image amplifier/

Bino Vue's 5.1" of optical
path length as well as the
slight amount of naturally oc-
curring color and astigmatism
introduced into the image by
the additional prism glass.
