What about these ?

https://www.firstlightoptics.com/helios-binoculars/helios-apollo-high-resolution-85mm-binoculars.html

They are heavy about 4+kilos and are 22x85

I use these myself for stargazing and ship spotting down at the shore really like them clear views but they wont focus under about 50 odd metres tho

The 15x70 Pros are quite good Steve Tonkin gives em a good right up on his binocular sky site

I have a set as well and they do seem pretty good 🍻

that really is good repair 🍻

bet she has noticed tho 🤣

good choice in bins there 

i use the Helios Apollo 22x85 bit heavier than light quest but awesome bins 🍻

i use the xyz mount on my binoculars with good results 

but thats nice image 🍻

Thx again mate 🍻

theres nothing a hammer cant fix lol🤣

i have a pair of zoom binns and they are crap werent cheap either i paid £65 for them 10 years ago and only used em 2-3 times

Theres also a couple of good books by Steve Tonkin (aka Binocular Sky on here)

enjoy em mate 🍻

Cheers mate i really enjoy reading this 🍻

I have the Nikon Action Ex 12x50 and 8x40 bins and they are excellent for the price. They are my grab and go bins for walks down the shore /boat trips etc and good for looking up 

good news on the Strathspey's 

i think you will enjoy the Nikons and the Skymasters 🍻

Steve Tonkin did a 6 of the best review of bins for Sky at night mag £100-£200 and the Nikon Action EX 10x50 was the top pair of bins in that review (cant seem to find it just now)

i don't think you'l find any better at £200

I have the 8x40 and 12x50 bins in that range and find them superb

very nice 🍻

nice piece of kit 🍻

Have a look here Steve Tonkin has reviewed  a few binoculars
