15 x 70 Revelation Astronomy binoculars for me, used with a cheepo visionary Tripod  Lovely bins but a tripod or monopod is needed as the weight makes them difficult to hold still.  Super views of M44, M45.  Moon,  Jupiter and Saturn also look impressive through such small aperture.  Andromeda looks nice fuzzy through these bins as does Orion Nebular.  I think they cost me about £45 second hand a couple of years ago.  I would highly recommend these bins.  I have had great times at the seaside looking out to the horizon with these also.  Able to see the containers on ships right out on the horizon.  Lovely Jubbly.   However like the above posts suggest, if a tripod is out of the question then get 10x50`s

Don't know if it's just me, but this site doesn't seem to work on Firefox (23.0.1).

Works ok here mate.

I always recommend Skies the limit, excellent customer service and returns policy and he wont be beaten on price. http://www.skysthelimit.org.uk/

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Martin and the team,

I emailed First light optics asking if they had any 6mm Baader Classic Orthos in stock and Martin emailed me back saying that they had one left in stock. I was at work at the time and emailed him back from my smartphone asking if he could put it aside for me and i would order it from my main PC when i got home that evening. He said he would and just to put a note on the order saying "Hidden on Martins desk". So that evening (Thursday) i ordered the eyepiece and added the note. On Saturday morning the eyepice arrived, all very well packaged.

Im a very happy bunny and i cant wait for first light with this eyepiece. Thanks again guys, very much appreciated.

R.I.P Sir Patrick, a sad day indeed.

I did exactly what bullettooth did. I also had a cheepo torch lying around and I borrowed some of my daughters red nail varnish gave it a couple of coats and job done. My best advice is buy a torch that you can hold In your teeth as I find myself doing that alot as I search through eyepieces and change them etc.
