Great looking set of Bino's Stuart! Glad to hear you got some good viewing done and a nice report you have there. I love scanning the sky with bino's too.
Geoff that is one of the main reasons why I want to get something like the 80ED, as a grab and go, but the other reason being is to be able to have a guidescope so bino's like these wouldn't really work for my needs...unless there is a way to guide using bino's on top of the scope instead of another scope
It sure would be the cheaper way to go...
