i lol'd at the neq6... wonder how many whoever they are sold if their original price is £160 more than practically every other retailer??

Would they need a crane to lift them on to the tripod, they look heavy to me?  Sure you would get great views thru  them.

I saw those and would have been tempted if I didn't already have the vixen binos

If those come with the mount then that's a pretty good price, no? :-)

New these would be around £1500 with mount, Its basically the same set up I have and yes the Bino is heavy  It looks as though this one has been collimated which is one less thing to worry about.

These are mind-blowing bins, the first real detailed look at the MW I had was through these. I sold that pair in search of other instruments but recently bought another as I found myself missing them.

They are also good to look at, as well as good to look through.

They are on the heavy side but worth the effort IMO.

Highly recommended.

I do like the look of the Vixens. How are you getting on with them?

I love the vixens!

You need to make sure your using straight barrelled eyepieces, the initial WO swan eps I used had a taper which meant they sat very slightly tilted resulting in a double image. Once I bought a pair of 15mm vixen SLVs for them it became clear that the vixen binos are a class act!

At f6 and with very good coatings they control CA well. The Moon and the double cluster are pure joy!

They look rather nice too! :-)

Congrats.....

Let us know when you get to have a look through them.

If you can stretch to a pair of 24mm Panoptics, you will be in heaven.
