  1. Sounds like I'll be keeping the 102, but I'll miss the 90 though. Thanks guys.
  2. Which of these two Skywatcher maks travel well as hand luggage, the 90...or the 102? Thoughts, anyone?
  3. I took some used Commodore 12x50 wide-angle binoculars with me on a trip to Jamaica a few weeks ago, which I still have. The views of the Sagittarius starfields were absolutely breathtaking!
  4. I've just added these vintage Russian BNU1 7x50s to my collection. They have a wide FOV and are extremely sharp at the centre of the field, but sharpness tails off towards the edges. They do give nice star images though and unlike the Chinon model are clear and free of haze or fungus.
  5. My two favourite binoculars: the Russian 8x30 and 12x40 models. Both give pin sharp images of stars and are a lot of fun. I actually managed to resolve both Beta and 61 Cygni with the former! I also recently acquired these vintage Chinon 7x50s after winning a bid on EBay. These give a nice wide FOV and meaty looking stars, but really need dark skies to show them off.
