Hi Sean,

Have you tried using 20X80 size binos? I have a couple of 70mm binos and I find they need serious mounting for steady astro observing. In my case my eye height standing up is about 170cm so for viewing close to the zenith (+- 20 degrees) while standing, the bino mounting bracket is close to 2 metres high.

BTW, what are your old 10X50 binos like?

Cheers,
