  2. Stormbringer

    On your 20x80's there's/or should be a built in adaptor on a rail theres a knurled knob on bottom of it that the screw in the tripod head screws into is the celestron 20x80's you got ? sorry had to edit this as i read it completely wrong having just woke up from a nap lol
  9. Stormbringer
    it should be a standard 1/4 inch screw that fits into the built in adaptor on your bins ? what tripod do you have ?
  10. Stormbringer
    Observation bins take a wee bit of getting use to
  11. Stormbringer
    what make and size bins are they ?
  12. Stormbringer
    Do you have the Inter Pupilry Distance (IPD) set right ? When looking through bins you should see a circular image not whats depicted on tv/movies of a binocular image

    I have the Helios 22x85's and they are damm good bins i also have the celestron 15x70 pro bins which are £125 at FLO not tried these under the stars yet but they do get a good write up by Binocular Sky (Steve Tonkin) http://binocularsky.com/ HTH 🍻
  20. Stormbringer
    ohh i dont know they look like interesting bricks 🤪
  21. Stormbringer
    It depends on age and your eyes as there's no real point in having an exit pupil of 7mm if your eyes cant dilate over 6mm which is a consideration Also the higher mag gives you better contrast (ie darker background ) and things stand out a bit better The lightquest bins are lighter with possibly better glass and coatings Check out Steve Tonkins site Binocular Sky lot of good info there http://binocularsky.com/#

    went for the larger aperture and higher mag as they fitted in with other bins i have also wanted a bit more light grasp over the 70mm i use them down the foreshore watching the ships going up and down the Forth as well as for astronomy Awesome binoculars imho 🍻
  23. Stormbringer
    what about these ? https://www.firstlightoptics.com/tripods/horizon-8115-2-way-heavy-duty-tripod.html with https://www.firstlightoptics.com/observation-binoculars/helios-apollo-high-resolution-85mm-binoculars.html 22x85 bins both are what i use and works well 🍻
  24. Stormbringer
    awesome find 😀
  25. Stormbringer
    Still WW2 era tho 🍻 Wonder if they ever served in a ship ?
