Tried out my Kronos 26 X 70

I tried out my Kronos last night. It was truly amazing. Of course, I could not hold them steady enough and the moon was not visible so I could not try it.

Before that I tried them out during the day. I have never used any binocs with that much mag. Of course it is a little weird having to focus each individually.

Going to pick up my spare lightweight tripod and hook them up and see how it is at night over the coming week end.

Where did you get these binoculars from?

There was a pair on ebay. I was outbid then the higher bidder dropped out so I ended up with them. I was bidding on a pair of Celestron 25 X 100's that I wanted but after I ended up "winning", I had to drop out on the Celestrons.

I have been looking for a new pair without much luck. Could you post some photos of them?

Took some this afternoon, will try to get them on in the morn
