Tested this beast out tonight for a few hours and it is really good. I also tried the Svbony 18mm ultra flat eyepieces and was pleased with the results no distortion across the field of view and the stars were sharp M44 was a nice target to try them out on. Overall the binocular worked well resolving stars in the globular clusters M13 M3 M5. M92 was also a good sight bright but not quite picking out individual stars in this globular. The ring nebula was easy in the BT120 a perfect polo mint in the sky. Before I finished my observing run I turned the binoculars to Virgo and could pick out the faint smudges of the distant galaxies there great results I wanted to have ago at the Sombrero galaxy but need to cut down an offending bush that blocks my view of that part of the sky. My interest is visual astronomy and taking the time to locate and find objects myself after owning telescopes over the years these binoculars are a real treat.

To be honest I wouldn't say this was a small eyepeice it's quite big and of sound solid construction. As I said I will be using 2 of them at the same time so once I get to test them I will be able to give my verdict but at the price I paid I would say they are a bargain the vendor is dark clear skies if you Google that you should find him.

Bought this eyepeice today and it oozes quality I had to buy 2 as I use a binocular telescope so I am looking forward to giving them a try. I was getting varied reviews regarding Ultra flat field eyepieces and this one got really good reviews especially over the pond. I googled to see if there was a UK vendor for Svbony and I was lucky enough to find one and he had the eyepieces in stock so I drove over to Stoke to pick them up. They remind me of the William optics eyepeice but not with the high price at £83,99 I think I got a bargain because if they perform as well as they look then I will be quite happy.

The view through them is excellent I got the chance to observe M13 and M3 through them the other night and they resolved the objects easily. They are big and the tripod is not quite tall enough I have told Bresser this so a pier extension may be coming along soon. I have put 3 bed risers on each tripod leg as a temporary fix to give me that little bit more height and a more comfortable view. Apart from that these are an amazing piece of kit.

Hello I don't know if anyone else owns a set of these giant Binoculars. I would like any info on good storage cases and what do other owners of big bins use. I am also looking out for a suitable pier extension for the tripod as the bins are so large you have to really bend down to view the zenith. Also I would like to mount a quickfinder to the binocular there is a recess on the handle to fit the vixen style finder base I know the rigels have to be stuck on but is there an adapter available to fit this type of finder directly to the finder base.
