Bino musings

[Bender]

I am set to get myself a bino setup that its powerful enough to make a difference to the naked eye but light enough to be truly portable, i.e. not a parallelogram mount.

I like the idea to mount a bino on a simple monopod. The problem with a tripod would be that you will struggle to see any of the constellations above your head. The monopd is limited in this respect as well but I think it might go a bit further up if you lean back in a chair and keep the leg at a 45 degree angle.

The question will then be if a 10x50 bino is sufficient (light polluted London suburbs) or if a 15x70 is more recommended.

For the head for the monopod I would look for something I can also use on a tripod with my PST.

Skymaster or Revelation 15x70s sound like they will be the best bet for you under LP.

I would push it to the Revelation Premium 20x80 Binocular, i have 10x50 and then these, get a good tripod and away you go
