Thanks for the review.
When I was in the market for astro binoculars, I looked at these but quickly dismissed them. These binoculars must be using roof prisms, mustn't they? rather than porro prisms (i.e. no dog-leg deformity in the shape of the binocs).
I'm no expert on this stuff, but my understanding has always been that it takes more money, effort and expertise to make roof prisms perform as well as porro prisms. (Isn't the main advantage of roof prisms their compactness for small binoculars? Which would hardly seem important for something like these Meade's, which as like as not people would mount on a tripod.)
I would appreciate any comments on this.
Cheers,
Brian.
