Amazing bins arnt they 

I see Amazon is doing the Orion Monster mount for £395

I think i need to talk nice to the Mrs and see if she will get em for my Christmas lol🍻

Looks like you had a great session with the binns 🌌

Congrats on your centenery 😀

another excellent read cheers mate 🍻

they are cracking bins arn't they 

glad your having the fun i have with mine 🍻

the main diferances are that the pro's are nitrogen purged and waterproof better build and  better optics / coatings . They also come with a decent tripod mount with a red dot finder rail

Out of the 2 sets the pro's are the better set of binoculars

cool you got em sorted

I've owned some 25x100 Celestrons, they were decent for the price but not enough diopter adjustment to reach focus without glasses and the FOV was too restrictive with. I also had some Kasai widobinos which I miss, but needed to free up some money. I'd buy those again, but the hands free goggles and filter holders were too pricey for me. I have some old Bushnell 12x50s but bought some 12x70 Celestron Cometrons on a whim for the princely sum of £30 last year. I know they draw some dismissive reviews, but I absolutely love mine. Full FOV with glasses, sharp to me and easy to focus. Despite murmurs that they are in fact 12x62s, not 70s, they seem to have excellent light-gathering capability. I've really enjoyed them, best £30 I've spent on astronomy. However, they don't take filters and I've been lured by seductive reviews of the Helios Apollo HR 15x70s, so when a nice pair came up second hand...they arrive mid-week. So I'll finally get to see if there really is that much difference! I'd have gone for the lightquest, but filter holders are a must have. The 15 or 22x85 Apollos sound intriguing, but will wait until I hear more feedback on those...

The Helios Apollo 22x85 bins are really good but they are heavy and really need to be mounted to use well worth getting as i really enjoy using mine 🍻

cheers mate 

welcome to the bin user's :)

very nice and yes i am green with envy 😍

Cool on the pick up up of the nikon action 12x50's 

They are my most used set  (next to my helis apollo 22x85 bins) of bins and are rally good during the day and at night under the stars but they will benefit from being mounted on tripod/monopod amazing the diferance with no hand shake when being used

Enjoy em mate 👍

Cheers again mate

Interesting as usual🍻

Cheers again mate 🍻

Cheers again mate looks really interesting as usual 👍

the amazon basics tripod and trigger grip are decent anyway so you have the choice  whether to use the tripod or monopod 

always same when you get new kit and try use it the weather messes it up lol 😂

Cheers again mate 

I will have a read of this at weekend 🍻

Very nice ?

sounds really promising so far

very nice mate ?

Nice bins
