I've got to say though even with a full moon bleaching out the sky and holding these binos by hand - they reveal lots of detail. I 've just had a tour through Scorpius.
Credit to AOE for offering products like this at low cost ($119 + $15 Delivery).
It's a great time for astro gear freaks on a budget thanks to the proliferation of good quality Chinese optical products out there. I paid almost 10x the price for a pair of 80mm Celestron binos 10 years ago which I see you can pick up for about $250 today!!!!! Just as today the big names rebadged the same product and sold them at inflated prices. I've recently came back to the hobby and was really happy to see companies like AOE and Andrews providing quality gear for the amateur community.
I'm not affiliated in any way - other post in this forum tell the same story also.
Sorry I've gone off topic a bit - I'm just pumped!!!!
Cheers
Doug
