Do these appear to have mirrors or prisms?

I certainly got a VERY 3D feel on the moon and planets using the TV binoviewers, so, if you say you did NOT get that feeling with these, I may indeed hold off. I just don't feel inclined as to the price
Hi Lewis, I wouldn't say it wasn't 3D, maybe just that I was spending a lot of time familiarizing myself with the adjustments possibly at the sake of viewing enjoyment - I daresay once the stuffing about is minimised, the views will be more captivating. As it was, Jupiter was an "oh wow" moment as soon as I got it focussed correctly. If a televue bv (at 3-4 times the price) has a commensurate improvement in views, then I can readily appreciate how good they must be.
