Hi! I received mine last sunday.
As far as I can tell, the binoculars were in good condition, apparently well collimated, only a little glue like patch near one of the prism housing, but I think this not going to affect the vision.
Compared to an BA8 MS 15x70 unit, may be a bit less sharper in daylight and a warmer image, but not very obstrusive, less sweetspot more noticeable looking at the stars, but we have to bear in mind that BA8 model cost at least double!
Las night I made a quick scan with the binocular mounted to M44 and I was pleased with the views even thought the astronomical twilight haven`t been started and from my class 9 bortle location.
Looking forward to see how it performs under darker skies, but despite I wasn`t looking for a such a big binocular and at this magnification, all in all having in consideration this sale price, I am quite satified for the momment.
One thing I have to deal with is to find the way to attach a 1,25" UHC filter to the plastic eyeguards.
