APM / LZOS 30cm Super-Bino
APM Telescopes is making the impossible possible: The world's largest and most powerful Binocular Apochromatic Telescopes (two APM-LZOS 304 mm f/7.5 apochromats on our heavy weight GE 300 mount).
The rear side of the binocular is designed to be used in two ways. As shown on the pictures it can be used as a giant binocular. This binocular attachment can be taken off, and replaced by straight extensions converting this binocular into 2 parallel mounted Apo refractors for standard use and imaging. The binocular design allows also to take 1 or the 2 tubes of the big rotating ring and use them as single telescopes on different mounts.
