Sorry to hear of your mishap - how frustrating

I'm no expert on binoculars so would hesitate to give advice - have you tried posting in the binocular section here?

Good luck, hope it works out for you

Pop into Liddls - I use their special offer 10x50 Rocktrails - only £15 last time I looked - they're very adequate for moon and planets and gazing round the brighter dso's - rebadged Bressers I believe but don't quote me lol

They seem very cheap for new bins, and I'm not familiar with the manufacturer. I would say buy & try them but they have a 10% surcharge on their returns policy. You could always keep an eye out for a 2nd hand pair of Zeniths,or something similar, these can usually be picked up for £10 - £15, and are reasonably good for astronomy.

Could a moderator please transfer this post to binocular forum like MorningMajor suggested and thank you for the reply's will check Lidl.

Just hope right side broke off for him.
