Observing with the new Explore Scientific BT Series giant binoculars is a truly stunning experience whether you are targeting wispy nebulae in the inky night sky, exploring the natural beauty of distant landscapes or checking out ships on the horizon. Available in apertures of 70mm, 82mm, 100mm and 120mm, these binoculars are essentially double refractor telescopes that provide both far-reaching views and a comfortable observing experience. The optics are fully multi-coated for excellent contrast and color, and each binocular comes with a pair of premium Explore Scientific waterproof 62° eyepieces that add to the superior viewing quality. For all-weather performance, the optical tubes are sealed and purged with nitrogen to create an internal environment that is both waterproof and fogproof. Extendable caps minimize condensation on the lenses and provide additional protection against stray light interference. For more information, please click the image above or the yellow box below. |

| | Setting up the Explore Scientific Two Room Pop-Up Observatory Tent is literally only a matter of releasing the band so that the tent can “pop up” from its pack. You really don’t need to do anything else besides connect the two observatory rooms with a velcro seam and peg it to the ground. Thanks to this simple design, the Explore Scientific Two-Room Pop-Up Observatory sets up and tears down in only a couple of minutes, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy your weekend of astronomy. The tent — which includes two rooms that are each 60 inches by 60 inches — travels in a light and compact package that erects in seconds. The water- and wind-resistant package comes with a rainfly to protect you and your gear, tie-down ropes and stakes to keep it stable on the ground, and zippered doors to block out light. You can find out more details about this exciting new product by clicking the image above of the yellow box below. | | |

When it comes to astronomy, the farther you can get from city lights, the better. The new Explore Scientific Backpack Carrying Case is a great way to transport a telescope and accessories to your favorite dark sky spot or other places not easily accessible by vehicle — whether a few yards off the road or miles away. The internal space — which is 18 inches tall (46 cm) and 15 inches wide (38 cm) — contains robust hook-and-loop panels for easy customization. The space is large enough to hold an Explore Scientific 102 Essential Series or FCD100 Series telescope (with the focuser removed) or the Essential Series 80 mm or FCD100 80 mm (with the focuser installed). Customers with Explore Scientific 102 mm telescopes can order the backpack with three thumb screws (at no additional cost) that replace the hex wrench set screws used to hold the focuser in place. The rugged nylon shelf and generous padding protect your telescope and accessories while in transit, and the exterior straps are perfect for attaching a small tripod. An outside mesh pocket easily holds a water bottle or other incidentals, and a zippered outside pocket and a mesh inside pocket are ideal for a Wil Tirion Planisphere, observing logs, an Astro R-Lite Red Flashlight and other paraphernalia. |
