I am selling these amazingly good binoculars (shown in attached photos) for a giveaway price of $30, including postage. But if you think $30 is too much (for $20 GoLo binos :D), please reply/PM with your best offer. Proceeds will be donated to iceinspace.com.au.
These binos are a very useful tool for star hopping; a lot better than even 20/20 naked eyes. Because of the nearly all-plastic construction (except for the glass lenses and a few screws), they are very light, and would be ideal for kids (who understand to never point it anywhere near the Sun).
I bought the binos as an emergency star-hopping aid and bought a much better pair since. You can read more about them in these threads:
