  1. Hello, I'm looking for a good 10x50 binocular for astronomical use, but I don't have the money for the Fujinon 10x50, umm!! Can someone recommend me a good one? with good optical and mechanical quality? Do not wear glasses to observe. Thank you tico
  2. Hello, On this occasion I would like to ask you if you have used a binoviewer with an H-alpha, Lunt or Coronado solar telescope. Is there much difference between the images with and without binoviewer? Is it worth the outlay? I just saw on Lunt's website that there is a binoviewer that works well with all of their telescopes, without adding extra magnification. I have seen it similar in Auriga, Omegon, APM... I suppose they are the same, they are called linear binoviewers. Thank you Paul
  3. Alan White, Which is the adaptor and the Ring that you usé? They are two pieces or only one? Tico
  4. Hello, Thanks for comment... After some use, the focuser has softened somewhat, I suppose another would have been better. To focus with my Baader IV zoom, I take out the diagonal a bit... no problem, although there may be some other accessory method that avoids it. The images are spectacular, although not too big.., How would a Lunt 40 DS work? maybe with time we will find out..!! The bulges are well visible, details also appear on the disc, if the dial is tuned they are obvious...Uff the DS must be the bomb!!! One day with a stable atmosphere I was able to use the 8mm zoom with good results. How would an eyepiece with fixed focal length and 72° field work? By the way, how is that Solar Finder mount going? For now I use it with a photographic tripod with good results, good follow-up to this magnification. Best regards Tico.
  5. Hello, Anyone use this binocular for DSO? How compared with others 16x70 like Omegón Argus, Helios Lightquest or the mytical Fujinon? Cheers, Tico
  6. Hi, It' s my first Solar shot, with Lunt 40 and one simple smartphone, whitout process... The visual image was very different, much more spectacular!!
  7. Hello, I just bought a Lunt 40 b600, I used a Baader IV 8-24mm zoom, I had to take the diagonal out a bit to be able to focus, with good results, good images, when the atmosphere stabilized I would say spectacular, a lot of activity in bumps though at high magnification the image softened a bit. , more difficult to see details on the disk although I could see a couple of "snakes" meandering very spectacular.. I have noticed the helical focuser is a bit hard, turning it moves the rest a bit, let's go diagonally, I have to hold this so that it doesn't rotate... I imagine that the standard focuser could be changed for a better one? I would also like to ask you about a fixed focal eyepiece with good optical quality, without blackouts... with the Baader zoom I sometimes notice that it is difficult for me to position my eye for comfortable observation. And one last thing, do you know any method to shade the eyes? Is there any accessory? Tomorrow I will try to try the binoviewer to see if I can focus... Thanks in advance for your comments. Tico
  8. Hello, How Much magnificación with the zooms 8-24mm? It's good for terrestrial images, planes birdwatch..? Thanks, Tico
  9. Hello, I have a SW 72ED within range, but I've never really seen one, I don't know if it can be considered a manageable refractor in reality...?? Has anyone used it for visual observation with a 2" diagonal star? Any problem with the Baader Hyperion IV zoom? is that this is the material that I would like to use and the one that I have.. I also have a 2" amici prism at 45°, would I have focusing problems with this refractor for terrestrial observation? Thanks for your comments. Tico
  10. Someone know if the SWED72 focus with one terrestrial Amici Prism? Thanks. Tico
  11. Hello, I have a spotting scope that I use to see the moon, birds and planes, and I had thought about putting a solar filter on the lens to see the sun. Worth? Will it provide a sharp, contrasty image with sufficient detail at 20-60X? Thank you very much in advance Tico.
  12. I like to observe big field of the Sky, like the wide Field astro photos,... Any have seeing NAN well frame..?
  13. Hello, I am very interested in this type of small instruments and their use for large stellar fields and large nebulae... A long time ago I used a 7x50 binocular with a 7.5° field, it fascinated me... but, and it is a very big but for me, on the one hand you could not change the magnification and on the other I could not use nebular filters, and this is where these small telescopes or finder engines come into play that with their small focal lengths can offer those large fields that I like so much with those two possibilities... , Have you used them with low powers and large fields to observe objects like NA, Veil, Rosetta, Pleiades... Andromeda... well framed? because I like to see objects with that kind of sensation as if they are surrounded by the universe... wide angle vision as I say. I would be delighted to hear your experiences. Very thanks Tico
  14. And for terrestrial observations? Tico
  15. I have a question, One 20x80 binocular is best than a 16x70 model? I doubt between they...
  16. Hello, I'm Looking one wide angle instrument, My questions is if.. Is best a binocular like 16x70 or 25x100..or One Acro. Refractor like 4" F:5 , 5" F:5 ? Thank you Tico
  17. Hello, I am interested in buying a good quality 16x70 binocular, I have had the Celestron Skymaster both 25x100 and 15x70, both of very mediocre quality and now I want a better one. I have seen some, Omegon 16x70, Lunt ED 16x70 and the Lightquest Helios 16x70, the latter a bit cheaper.. I would be happy to hear your advice and comments on the matter. Thank you. Tico.

  19. Hello, I Am looking for some planetary eyepieces for one 60mm/360mm ED refractor. You know some good model for this purpose? Thanks un advance. Tico.
  20. Hello . For strictly visual observations ... What type of refractor would work better ... an 80ED with an FPL-53 and F / 7.5 lens .... or a 100ED with a FPL-51 and F / 7 lens .. ?? Has anyone been lucky enough to test and / or compare them? Thanks in advance Tico.
  21. Hello, Anyone have this binoculars? How is for astronomical purposes? similar to others? Thanks. Tico.
