Gang, This post was discussed on another of the astronomy newsgroups I belong to. The assessment was that this is a scam. Donald A. Rosenfield ... are in the...
Amid the awful news from down south, allow me to share a lighter note. Ironically, we have experienced several gorgeous moonless nights with no clouds, no dew,...
Oh, you did mention Stock 2. Sorry for not noticing that at first. -Florian ... From: "Florian" <fboyd@...> To: <binocularastronomy@yahoogroups.com> ...
On a previous thread here there was discussion about viewing M27, the Dumbbell Nebula. At the time I promised to have a look at it when I had a chance--well,...
... a ... narrow ... Donald, The poster of this message attempted to post it 3 times to Starry Nights and 3 times to Talking Telescopes message boards. We...
Hi All, I rarely post here as I am mainly a telescopic observer but do enjoy a session with my Binos from time to time under good skies. I currently have 2...
Hi Chris, it was me who started the recent thread on M27. Over the last couple of weeks, I find that in my 20x80s I'll see it as a round grey smudge in average...
Mark, It seems that however we describe our observation of M27, we both do in fact see an hourglass or 'pinched-in' shape, not simply a round grey fuzzy. I...
... Hi Chris, This asterism has many names: The Coathanger Cluster, Collinder 399 (Cr 399), Brocchi's Cluster. It was the first thing I ever set out to see...
Chris, you must have had poor conditions to only see the mag 8 star on M52 with your 20x90s. Try again under better skies. As Rick said, the Coathanger cluster...
you right. coathanger. sighted it for the past 2 nights. very pretty Mark Vints <mark.vints@...> wrote: Chris, you must have had poor conditions to only...
Hello, After my Meade LXD55 telescope and my Swift 8x42 binoculars, I want to buy another binocular. As I do not have chance to try none of them, I ask for...
We're having sloppy sky conditions lately so not much to look at, but I'll get back to it when things clear up and will give M52 another look. Frankly, I'll...
... I can only give an approximate answer as I have had a Fujinon 10x70 and have a Miyauchi 20x100. I have never had either of the two you ask about but have...
Hi folks. I have a pair of Pentax PCF III 10x50 that I really like and they fit my beady eyes perfectly. Tried the PCF V series but they made the eyecups so...
Having recently escaped Hurricane Katrina from New Orleans (my home is just 1.5 miles from the major levee break) and being a current owner of both of the...
... The 45-degree angle of the Miyauchis has greatly helped me to spend more time looking up comfortably, especially near the zenith. Extendable dewshields are...
The extra weight of the Miyauchis requires a steady tripod and mount. I use a Gitzo G320 tripod, and a Manfrotto 3130 video head with quick release, which I ...
... Hi Paulo, Your choices for your next binoculars seem a bit extreme, but I can certainly understand your wish to learn more about the heavens. Unless you...
... Plus, with the angled eyepieces i don't think they'd work handheld at all. The 16x70 Fujinons can be handheld for short periods of time. -Florian...
... Fujinons can be handheld for short periods of time. LOL...!!! I doubt anyone would think of the Miyauchis as "hand-held"...!!! As for 16x70's giving a...
... I think it is reasonable to go from 8x42 to 16x70/20x77. Getting a premium pair of binoculars and keeping them for a lifetime is cheaper that getting a...
Hey gang, thought I'd mention I own the 22x, 40x 115x NBA71 Miyauchis' and wanted to say that the 40x is probably my favorite to scan with, as I can really see...
... George, Other than weight and portability, how do the Miyauchis and BT100s compare. I would think that they are almost a dublication, with the BT100s a...
It seems to me that there is a noticeable gap between the so- called "cheap" giant binoculars and the high-end stuff like Miyauchi, Fujinon, etc. Whereas the...
Hi Mike, This certainly is worth some thought. I myself don't have the need to fill that gap right now, but everything you said is very interesting and I'm...
