Yeah, binoviewers are a kick. I've been hooked since looking through a pair of Televue's on a 5" Astro Physics refractor. WOW! (Too much cash for me to spend, but "wow" just the same)
I've been looking at the Denk Standards. for $399 in the U.S.. The other clones (WO, Orion, Celestron, etc.) are all selling for $199 here. Thing about the Stellarvues.... they add their own doipter focusing units. That's a BIG plus over the other clones.
All the clone ones are great from what I hear, but they only have 22mm clear aperture where the Denk's have 26mm. I'd really like to see a pair side by side to see how much of a difference that would make. I'm trying to justify spending twice as much on the Denk's, but I'm still not sure.
