  1. Hiya, I got the Orion Optics Paragon mount and it has an adjustable set of legs and has a counterweight at the end but it's not visible on the photo but it's a single weight to balance things, the only problem is when I want to try and lay back on my reclining chair I can't really use them on the mount as such but it's not a huge problem as I normally have to adjust the legs and the height through a handle which I have to turn and place the mount with the binoculars in to a suitable position up against the side of the reclining chair and then have to loosen all of the screws and bring the binoculars forward while I lay back on the chair which can be a little uncomfortable but the mount normally is leaning forwards when I am looking at an object like for instance comet jacques in cassiopeia which is quite high up so sometimes the mount ends up against the side chair which means the mount sometimes has to tilt towards me and then one of the legs of the mounts ends up lifting from the group. Hope I have explained it clearly though and also have my Skywatcher Powertank 7AH to the side with a small hairdryer for any dew that may get on the lenses on the Helios Apollo 15x70s HD. Thinking of also getting the Helios Apollo HD 20X110 or the Helios Apollo HD 28X110  :)

  2. I was thinking of going for the Helios Quantum 25x100 Binoculars or the Helios Apollo 15x70mm and which are the better out of the 2, Also I have an Orion Optics Deluxe Alt Azimuth Mount for the Binoculars but I will need a L-Bracket for them. Are these binoculars generally good for the ISS and satellite spotting and Asteroid Spotting as well as some deep sky. Thanks :grin:

  3. FIRST LIGHT OPTICS:hello2::D There Awesome and have dealt with them for a few years now and top class people like Martin and Steve but I have dealt with Martin mainly and does not live to far away from me in Kingskerswell in Devon and who works there and gives you a quality first class service and there very happy to help and always answers your questions in emails. Everyone on the planet should deal with FIRST LIGHT OPTICS or should I say FIRST CLASS OPTICS:icon_salut::). Ordered my Skywatcher 127 Mak and CG-5 GT Mount from them among other items and delivery is super quick. High standards and a great company and service. :(:icon_salut::) :bs::hello2::(
