... At $1.24/Euro, that works out to $10,527.60. I paid $5700 for the non-ED straight thru 25x150s....seems like a bargain if you don't mind a little false...
Dear all, I have followed up an email to Apogee with questions as follows :- "I have since taken some photos on the vignetting/prism blockage problems when I...
Here is my take on the aperture blockage. From shining a flashlight in both ends, it appears to be a bit of black adhesive tape. Its purpose is to block a...
... I wonder about what that says about the whole manufacturing process, quality control and the like when there is such a unit to unit variance in prism size,...
Hello bsimon6151952 and all members, I really like this stand., It seems very portable, and after a 12 hr shift driving a fork lift, I'm glad to stand while...
Light cut-off put aside, the RA-88-SA are very nice and nearly the best binos I have every used. But indeed, I do wish they'd been assembled by the guys at...
Hello: I'm new to the group and was wondering if any of the members could comment on the performance of the Orion 15x63 Mini-Giant binoculars. Thanks Stan...
... could ... Stan I do not have first hand experience with the Orion mini-giants. However, given that you will want to mount 15X binos anyway you may want to...
I do have a pair of the 15x63's, or my wife does, she lets me look through them from time to time, and they are outstanding. We had previously been looking...
I just purchased some new unbranded 10x50 binoculars from a vendor off ebay which were advertised as having bak4 prisms. There is nothing in the supplied...
Charles, I too have a pair of Orion Mini Giants, the 12x63 version, and I concur that they are outstanding binoculars. I also agree that for using more than a...
Hello: Thanks Charles for your comments and feedback on the Orion 15x63 Mini-Giants. I recently put a order in for a pair with a retailer up here in Canada and...
Hold the binoculars about a foot from your eye and point them at a uniformly illuminated wall. If the light pattern in the eyepieces is perfectly round, they...
Asteroid Vesta is currently well placed and easy to find in the evening sky. Last night using the finder chart on page 68 of the Nov S&T i had no problem...
... I doubt that you will be disappointed. They are good bino's for the money. We have had these for almost two years now and every time I look through them,...
... backyard ... the ... Uranus ... WOW-I would not think you could see Vesta/Uranus in 10x 42s. This is what I like best about this group. You, or someone,...
... Hi Ed, I had actually tracked down Vesta and Uranus first using my Tele Vue 76 refractor. I then was just scanning around after and saw that they were both...
Hi, I am after a pair of good quality binoculars for hand-held astronomy use. I was looking at the Fujinon 10x42 BFL and Fujinon 8x42 BFL binoculars. I have...
Steve, Well, you might take a look at the Burgess Optical 10x42 and 8x42 roof prism binos. These are triplet APOs, with optics designed by Thomas M. Back....
Hi Steve, Since you're looking at 10x42 binoculars you might add the Nikon 10x42 SE to the list. I own these and think they are about the best handheld astro...
I just purchased a Z-bracket from Bill Burgess <http://knightcontrol.freeservers.com/BO_Accs_Bracket_Z.htm>. I used it with my Burgess 20x80LW and his red-dot...
Hi Florian, The Nikon 10x42 SE look superb. However, as I will be using the binoculars predominately for star hopping with a 140 mm refractor I don't think I...
Hi Donald, The Burgess binoculars look very interesting. I had not come across any Burgess Optical products here in Australia so I don't know much about them. ...
... I agree with Florian, the 10x42 SE is a superb bino. Of course, I can see much more stars with my Fujinon 10x70, but the Fujinon is handheldable for only...
Hi Don, Have you ever gotten to test the 10x42 out? How is the performance? I'm debating if I want to buy the Burgess roof prism APO binos or the Swift Ultra...
