This Package includes a Premium Denk II Binoviewer and 2 SCD Holders, a Dual Arm SCT Power x Switch, a special 2 3X Multiplier
Cell, 1.25 and 2 nosepieces, engraved aluminum etepiece holder plugs and aluminum caps for the optical accessories, and comes
shipped in a lockable Denkmeier Aluminum Case.
What The Package Does When Used With SCTs
The binoviewer and Power x Switch allows focal reduction, normal and 2X magnifications instantly in most F/10 SCTs. The Power x
Switch that is attached to the binoviewer will accept either the 2 or 1.25 nosepiece included and allows an F/10 SCT to operate
with .66X focal reduction, 1.15X magnification or 2X magnification. An additional 2 format 3X Multiplier Cell is included. The
Power x Switch Arms are moved to the OUT position and this cell is threaded to the 2 nosepiece. If a 2" star diagonal is not
already owned, be sure to consider adding a top quality 2 Denkmeier Star Diagonal for your SCT if this package is selected.
Maksutovs
When using telescopes like Questars®, Meade ETX90 and 125s®, Meade Maksutovs, Orion® Maks, Intes Micros® and some others, use
the 1.25" nosepiece or the 2" nosepiece in either a 1.25 or 2 star diagonal. Focal reduction is possible using the Power x Switch
in these telescopes and due to the long focal length and small relative aperture inherent to many of these smaller Maksutov
telescopes, the focal reduction mode of the Power x Switch is very desirable. Our Patent Pending Power x Switch contains the
Star*Sweeper" and taking advantage of this feature will no doubt prove attractive to you. With the Low Power (Logo-Side) Power x
Switch Arm in the OUT position, normal magnifications will result. Moving the Logo-Side Power x Switch Arm to IN produces focal
reduction. Moving in the opposite Power x Switch Arm produces 2X magnification.
Coronado Filter Use
An additional 1.25 accessory for the Coronado BF Filter Diagonals is needed if this system is to be brought to focus in Solarmax
Telescopes®, or Refractors equipped with Solarmax Filters. This optional cell threads into the filter threads on the
telescope-end of the 1.25 Coronado Blocking Filter star diagonal. This cell must remain in place for the binoviewer and Power x
Switch to function. When using this Package in a Solarmax90 Telescope®, the 1.25 Refractor OCS Cell is unnecessary because this
telescope has a special shortened tube that is designed to allow the Denkmeier Binoviewer to reach focus (see S&T Magazine
Maxscope 90 Hot Product description in Jan 2004 issue).
