BT 150mm ED Giant Binocular + U-Mount and Tripod (Bundle)

BT 150mm ED Giant Binocular

The Explore Scientific BT 150mm ED Giant Binocular is the pinnacle of binocular astronomy, delivering an extraordinary observing experience through two massive 150mm optical systems—one dedicated to each eye. Combining exceptional light-gathering power with premium Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass, the BT 150mm ED produces breathtaking views filled with remarkable brightness, sharpness, and immersive depth that simply cannot be replicated with conventional binoculars or a single telescope. Each 150mm objective gathers an incredible amount of light, revealing dense star fields, richly detailed open clusters, expansive nebulae, and brighter galaxies with impressive clarity. Observing with both eyes creates a more natural and comfortable viewing experience, allowing you to appreciate the night sky with greater depth and less eye fatigue during extended observing sessions. Premium ED glass enhances this remarkable optical system by significantly reducing chromatic aberration and false color around bright, high-contrast objects. The result is cleaner edges, improved contrast, more accurate color reproduction, and sharper detail when observing the Moon, planets, bright stars, and terrestrial subjects. The BT 150mm ED comes ready for its first night under the stars with a pair of Explore Scientific 62° 20mm Waterproof Eyepieces, while its interchangeable 1.25-inch eyepiece design allows you to tailor magnification and field of view to match virtually any observing target. As an instrument of this size, the BT 150mm ED is designed exclusively for mounted use. Pairing it with the Explore Scientific U-Mount and Tripod provides the stability and smooth movement needed to comfortably navigate the sky while unlocking the full potential of this exceptional giant binocular system. Whether you're sweeping through the Milky Way, resolving rich open clusters, studying intricate lunar landscapes, or exploring bright nebulae and galaxies, the Explore Scientific BT 150mm ED Giant Binocular delivers one of the most immersive and rewarding observing experiences available.

U-Mount and Tripod for BT 150

The Explore Scientific U-Mount and Tripod for BT 150 is purpose-built to provide the strength, stability, and smooth movement required for the massive Explore Scientific BT 150 Giant Binoculars. When your binoculars feature dual 150mm optical systems, a conventional binocular mount simply isn't designed for the job. This heavy-duty mounting system delivers the rigidity needed to securely support large binoculars while maintaining the smooth, precise motion essential for comfortable astronomical observing. Designed specifically for the BT 150, the U-Mount supports binoculars weighing up to 12 kg (26.5 lb) and accommodates widths up to 290 mm (11.4 in.). Infinitely adjustable friction controls on both the altitude and azimuth axes let you customize the feel of the mount, allowing you to easily track the Moon, planets, star clusters, and sweeping Milky Way vistas with smooth, controlled movement. 

The included heavy-duty stainless steel tripod provides exceptional stability while minimizing vibration for sharper, more enjoyable views at higher magnifications. Adjustable from approximately 100 cm to 140 cm (39.4–55.1 in.), it offers comfortable observing whether seated or standing, while an integrated aluminum accessory tray keeps your eyepieces and accessories close at hand. Whether you're observing for a few minutes or spending an entire evening under the stars, the Explore Scientific U-Mount and Tripod gives your BT 150 the stable foundation it needs so you can focus on the view instead of supporting the equipment.
