They are 20x50's and are really difficult to hold steady enough to see anything other than the moon, and only when it is high in the sky as I have to lie on the ground due to the weight. (If I was to hold the binos while standing and look at the stars, I am only good for a few minutes (my wife would call me a liar after that claim
) or I would end up with the arms of Arnie with the body of Erkel, only fatter.)
But thanks radu5er.
This link has led me to my next project. A modified version of the bino chair (less the chair). I will post my design for approval/comment later next week. I would also be grateful for any suggestions (be nice
) for other designs to assist me in having a steady platform to view the heavens with my binos from any members of IIS.
Have a good and clear one!
