Review: Helios LightQuest-HR 10x50

My  review is posted at: http://binocularsky.com/binoc_reviews.php

TL;DNR version: A few small issues with control of stray light but otherwise darn good VFM. Better than the UO-BA8.

Interesting review. I am sometimes considering a pair of astronomy 10x50s, and this one would certainly be high on the list

Nice review Steve, thanks very much for sharing

Thanks for the review!  Must say, the measurements in the 'Testing the Specifications' section of your reviews are really helpful and have assisted with my recent purchasing decisions.

Nice review Steve  I see the LightQuest comes in quite a range...50, 70, 80 & 100mm! That's one advantage over the Lunt's.

Fantastic! I look forward to reading them, as and when you get clear skies to review them
