Would it be much better than the Denk you already have Flash?

I dare say it would be....the new ones are built from the ground up and the optics are second to none according to the spec's and just take a look at the build and quality...already there is a ' waiting list ' since April this year ( all those people can't be wrong in making a decision to purchase.)
Mine are superb to use.....especially in the 10'' LightBridge, in the NA140 it is just ' wow ' what a difference it makes using 2 eyes on a Refractor with large aperture, and particularly ' wide field views '
I downloaded a 14mb PDF File on these new Bino's.....there is a lot of reading to do.

I guess you have read the threads on the Binoviewer Forum on CN Flash?
Would like one myself but it's a lot to pay for 6mm of extra CA over the WO's I have....and yes bino's in a big frac are sensational. In two months I'll be picking up an Orion UK optics 10" Newt I bought from Lars a while back and plan on using the bino's in it, which should be good viewing, I hope.
Seeing as you have the Denk 21's you should get the 14's...now that would be something to look through.

Can't go wrong with Orion UK Optics.....I've seen some ' outstanding ' gear from them....and the ' astro' photos ' they produce with the right gear is something to behold.

Wouldn't mind a set of 14mm Denk's.....soon maybe...!!

I'm picking up the BINOTRON-27 with the OCS 45. My one fear is that I will like it so much that my new TV eyepieces might get neglected.

Flash is helping me with eyepieces for it. I am pretty much settled on the D21's now.

Can't wait to see how they perform on all the different solar and deep sky objects.

Alan I hope Flash is helping you to get a pair or RKE 28's for the bino. If not type in Edmund Optics and you get the Singapore branch and get a pair from them $106 each with free postage until the end of October I think. Amazing eyepieces that have to be looked through to be believed...
I still like loking mono through my bunch of eyepieces easier than binoing in a way.

Thanks Matt. All options are still open. I will have a look at the RKE 28's. I hope to only use one pair of eyepieces because of the power switch on the Denks. The D21 is a good focal length in my Dob I was thinking. I considered the 24 or 19 Pans to start with as well.

Got one and it is worth every cent.

Spend the money if you have it you won't be diaspionted

I may have to flick some of the eyepieces
2 x ES 6.7's
2 x ES 8.8's
2 x ES 11's
2 x ES 16's
2 x Brandon 24's
2 x RKE 28's
and 2 Denk21's arriving next week.

Just spent some time making a new nose piece to connect the bino directly to the diagonal to reduce about 40mm of light path

If anyone is interested there is a review (Astronomy Test) of the Binotron-27 in October 2013 Astronomy Magazine.
