Hi all,
Well,
I have to say one thing,centre.net.au is very fast.
My Celestron up close 10x50s arrived this afternoon about 3.30 pm via courier.
I only ordered them yesterday afternoon,and they had to come from Melbourne,Doesn,t get much better than that.
I havent had much of a chance to check them out properly yet,
Steve,
You are about spot on, the fov is about 6.5 deg,possibly a little more,They fit the Southern Cross in,with room to spare,(not much).
Totally unimpressed with the packaging,it reeked of el cheapo,with the binoculars in a plastic moulded package,and the carry bag in a little box underneath.
That said so far, they dont seem too bad at all,views are nice and bright,stars are sharp almost all the way.
it appears the eyepieces are not coated at all,with what looks like a light blue coating on the objectives.
High end they are NOT.
They are not even in the same street as the 11x56,But,they are lightweight for a quick grab and go,and at the price,I wont cry tears of blood,if they get dropped by me,or one of the Grandkids.
