Hi Neven

I can thoroughly recommend WO Binoviewers, there are better ( more expensive ) binos' on the market but the WOs' have given me great views of the moon and planets when mounted on my 5" and 6" refractors. Using 2 eyes instead of 1 , as we know from every day life , gives better depth perception and contrast, try driving with 1 eye closed for an interesting experience.
Even on bright dsos' such as the brighter globs and open clusters, they also work very well. The only downside is that you'll have to double up on a few eyepieces to give a range of magnifications and if you have a scope that will reach focus without using an optical corrector so you can get low to medium power views , then even bright nebula become great bino targets.
If you can try before you buy, all the better, but I'm sure you wont be dissapointed with the views.

Enjoy

Jeff
