If you have been thinking about purchasing a binoviewer but prefer to enter the world of two-eye observing with an introductory unit, you definitely want to read the information in this section. THE BIG EASY provides first class performance and is far from an introductory binoviewer. The Big easy Package includes our famous Denk Standard Binoviewer with 26mm prisms, Self Centering Aluminum Locking Holders, and a 1.25" format correcting system that allows this world class binoviewer to reach focus at two magnifcations in any Refractor or Newtonian and three magnifications in an F/10 SCT including a wonderful focal reduction mode.
For Beginners
The Big easy is a trimmed down Denkmeier Standard Binoviewer Package that includes the same super quality 26mm clear aperture binoviewer that has made their reputation what it is today, while starting the binoviewer inertia four years ago. In order to trim down their Standard Power x Switch Package, they simply eliminated the "extras" like the patent pending automatic Power x Switching, and the SCD Holders. The end result is that a binoviewer that you will use for a lifetime is now within reach without making a big dent in your wallet.
The Big Easy is priced similarly to a new class of introductory binoviewers now being sold by so many dealers, but is anything but a beginner's unit. Denkmeier Optical assembles and tests each and every unit in their Maryland, USA facility. There is no need to worry about achieving focus in your Refractor, Newtonian or SCT. This is because The Big Easy package includes a Denkmeier OCS. They invented the OCS and be assured that there is no need to search for aftermarket parts from other sources when you purchase The Big Easy.
Since the time when Denkmeier Optical innovations allowed binoviewers to be rightfully considered more than just novelties, a new demand has surfaced from those observers who want to try binoviewing without a sizable investment. Denkmeier Optical has responded with their new Big Easy Package. The Big Easy is built for a lifetime and will illuminate long focal length eyepieces due to the large aperture prisms that they have always used.
Focal Reduction Too!
SCT owners will really enjoy focal reduction without vignetting as well as a normal magnification and 2X. Newtonian and Refractor users will have the means to produce two magnifications with the Big Easy OCS. 26mm prisms means superior illumination, no doubt about it. The OCS optics are housed in precision machined black anodized aluminum tubes and threaded for 1.25" filters. Stealth black baffling and special grooving on the interiors is standard, as it always has been. The coatings are extremely efficient in eliminating reflection throughout the visible spectrum.
What Is Included
The BIG EASY includes Denkmeier's patent pending OCS system that will easily convert to allow almost any telescope to reach focus. Not only will your telescope reach focus, but a variety of magnifications will be possible with the eyepieces that are available with this system. The BIG EASY includes: The Denk Standard Binoviewer with Self Centering Holders (non-diopter), a Patent Pending 1.25" Optical Corrector System (OCS) for Newtonians and Refractors that operates at both 1.4X and 2.5X magnifications and then converts to a Star Sweeper providing F/6.6 reduction, F/20 multiplication and "normal power mode" for Schmidt Cassegrain Telescopes (SCTs). For Refractors using 2" Star Diagonals, an adapter is also included that allows the important OCS Cell to be threaded to the 48mm telescope-side filter threads of the 2" star diagonal.
