Thanks for everyone's input here,  lots of food for thought.

I'll be sure to be in touch for other bits and pieces

If the Moon is your target then using a binoviewer such as the Williams Optics one coupled with a 70 or 80mm ED Doublet would out perform any binoculars in that price range I suspect. I use a Skywatcher Evostar 80ED DS-Pro with binoviewers and performance on the moon (and sun for that matter with a Herschel wedge) is superb in a compact package. Of course you would need duplicate E/Ps but you would end up with quite a flexible system.

Ok, I have a look into this,  sounds like it might be the better option for me. 

Thanks

Hi all, first poster here.

So I’m not exactly new to astronomy, it’s been in and out of my life many times since a young age. I’ve owned telescopes and other binos before but I’m not exactly mr current affairs on the subject. 😀

We recently bought a converted campervan and are lucky to live only half an hour from a dark sky area (Dalmellington) that we go to regularly.  What I’m after now though, is a set of really good quality set of binos. My primary focus is lunar - probably 90% actually. Not so much interested in planets and DSOs at the moment. Unfortunately space in the van is at a premium, so unfortunately no big reflectors, I’ll  have the room for a tripod and a set of binos though.

So I’m lucky enough to say I would pay 1k or there abouts for the right ones.

What’s out there that you guys can recommend please?

TIA
