StarSapling Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I bought a pair of bins off of Amazon for about $40, never even heard of the brand before, so I wasn't expecting much from them. They turned out to be a darn good pair bins, I use them quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp_Perfect Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 my viewing is severely limited just now I need at least a 48" Dob with a goto attachment if anyone wants to give it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAMACO Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 my viewing is severely limited just now I need at least a 48" Dob with a goto attachment if anyone wants to give it away With your new binos you can enjoy a field of view of at least 5 degrees. With a 48" dob only 1/4 degrees at maximum. So now you guess where you are severly limited... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAN or ASTROMAN Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Welcome to the 'Club'! The Bins are my most used bits of kit by a Mile/Parsec?/light year? Seeing as we have 'The Dob Mob' and 'the 'Frac Pack' already on SGL (and I suppose that technically,I've the gear to be a fully paid up member of both camps),we 'Binoculartistas' should have a Posse of our own. I bet that most SGL members must have Bins of some sort,so it would be a VERY inclusive Club! Suggestions for a name (postcard NOT required!) here............
