In the Cloudy Night Binoviewer forum under the (infamous) Stellerview thread a member (very up on binovus.) appears to be convinced that Bills' use of BK4...
Bob, Define "the (infamous) Stellerview thread" haven't read this thread so fill me in. I've always wanted a Binoviewer but the price was to steep, the...
Call before you head up High Point, I've had some on order from there for a long time now. I assume at this price, which is so low its almost silly, that...
I have the Burgess binoviewer and just recently recieved the SiebertOptics corrector and just want to let all know they work great together. I really like the...
Hi Jake, Sounds great. What telescope do you use the binoviewer on? How are the views and if you could, give some more comments. Charlie ... great ... lot...
... If these are the same bino's as those sold by Stellarvue they seem to be a real steal. SV has them for $199 including a set of 23mm eyepieces. Vic Maris...
I was also wondering the diameter of the built-in dew shields, in the redesigned model, in order to fit solar filters. Thanks, Tim ***************** Hi Tim, ...
Hi Charlie Out of respect for Bill I won't say which refractor it is. I will say it is an 80mm. I have been using my Burgess with the new Siebert corrector. My...
Dear Tom, You got me thinking about alternate ways to use an L bracket and I thank you. I do have a Burgess adapter and if I remove the red dot finder platform...
Keith I have the universal unit. But there is a unit that is just for the units like my Burgess. Here is a link that has the Burgess OCA on it. For those of...
Siebert has so many variations on his units, I just want to verify I know which one you have used successfully. Is it the one he describes as (quoting from...

Sunday night was a clear night here in East Tennessee. So, I packed up my scopes and stuff and headed out to a light polluted site close to my house where I...
Here's a question I'm hoping someone can answer. If you can see M81 and M82, should you be able to see M51. So far this year I've looked for M81 and M82 twice...
Hi Mark, The answer is no...M81 & M82 are fairly easy to see compared to M51... On the other hand if you can see M51 you will definitely be able to see M81 &...

Like you, I have tried to find M51 many times. I finally found it, but I was at a dark site. I can easily see the primary galaxy and its companion in my BO...
Hi, Mark! The location is easy to find the object is unusually hard to see, except under the darkest of skies, due to it's unusually low surface albedo, or...
TK! Thanks for the nice review! We're not seeing enough of those around here (hint, hint all!). I've found that 20X80's just the right size for finding M...

Mark, I have tried SOOOO many times to locate M51 from my bright skies on Long Islang, NY. With my Burgess 15x70's I am able to fairly easily locate M81 / M82,...
Are your skies as bright as the Light Pollution Maps indicate? What is the visual limiting magnitude where you observe? I could easily see, with averted...
Thanks to everyone (so far Mark V, Orlando, Tom, Bill, and Alec) who answered my post asking about M51 vss M81 and M82. Tom and Bill, your posts about how to...
Alec, Mark, et al, I have seen M51 so *many* times I can't imagine the problems youse guys are having. I used to just look at a star chart and sorta pointed...
But Donald, I seem to recall reading that you've observed at dark sites a lot. That makes a big difference in seeing what you find as opposed to finding...
Hi Tom and Donald I remember taking the family on a vacation to Cape Hatteras about a year ago. There was almost no skyglow and the night skies there easily...
