Does that include eyepieces?

Cheers,

Jason,

I've just bought the same setup from Kendall recently, and I have to say this combination is a real joy to use.

He didn't include EPs with mine, and I knew that before buying. So far, I have just bought two pairs of (25mm & 15mm) Bintel plossls which were on special from $39 down to $25 each - so $100 the lot - to see what it was like before committing to a pair of better EPs. I certainly haven't been disapointed, even with cheap EPs.

These are terrific value at this price

Cheers,

I've used these in the daytime and think they're great, but would love to hear what they're like on the heavens.
Fancy giving us a bit of a review PCH?

Cheers,
Jason.

There is a thread somewhere from SPSP that talks about these giant binoculars of Kendall's. I had the opportunity to look through them using 13 mm T6 Naglers (among other eyepieces)...amazing. Satchmo spent a fair bit of time with them and from memory had a positive opinion of them.

Jason,

My new manfrotto tripod has just arrived, so I'll be happy to do a review next clear night - could even be tonight

Cheers
