The countdown has begun

[MrsR]

6 More days till payday and it will be that day I order my binos and I am going for some Revelation 15x70's

I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am.

[Bino Pete]

I'm excited now for you!!

[Jon65]

Excellent choice,the 15x70's will provide you with some superb DSO and lunar views.

Tripod mounted even better,especially on Jupiter, to make sure you can view all four moons easily.

Jon

[MrsR]

Jon I will be getting a tripod, just trying to decide 100% which one to go for.

[UTMonkey]

Good for you!

I have two weeks off in March and hope to make a bins purchase and use the time to get them fitted to my camera tripod, and then make an observation plan..... only to have it scuppered by cloud.

Good luck

Mark

[Nexus 6]

Right, only a week out! I would try them to see if they have many in stock, save you waiting even longer, mind you not much fun observing clouds

keep us all posted, look forward to your thoughts on them

More cloud on the way then

I have some Rev 15x70s and think they are great - hope you get as much enjoyment out of them as I do

[MrsR]

More cloud on the way then

I dont think it is possible for any more cloud even with me getting binos

[MrsR]

They have been ordered

[JAO]

Lets hope that postman gets his skates on quick time and that the clouds part soon!

[MrsR]

Terll me about it - you know we will have clear skies all weekend and they wont arrive till next week!

[russ]

Fingers crossed you get them in time. They are great bins, you won't be disappointed.

[scogyrd]

Terll me about it - you know we will have clear skies all weekend and they wont arrive till next week!

I doubt it. I've just bought a new head for my tripod so I'm not expecting any clear skies until at least next week now.

[ashworthacca]

I'm really excited for you MrsR.....my Celestron 15x70's are my preferred tool for viewing the skies and for me offer the perfect FOV and magnification for viewing my favourite objects.....globs and double clusters are beautiful and the Orion Neb is a view to behold.

I'm sure you'll have plenty of enjoyable nights with your new toy......when the clouds disperse of course.

[MrsR]

Will be getting aHorizon 8115 tripod next month.

I doubt it. I've just bought a new head for my tripod so I'm not expecting any clear skies until at least next week now.

Between us we have messed the skies up good and proper then

[scouse123]

[Nexus 6]

Great, so you're almost there! I hope you get some decent skies to test them on!

[Astromart]

They have been ordered

Dont forget to do a review of them for us ?

[MrsR]

Dont forget to do a review of them for us ?

Oh dear, think a review from me wouldnt be technical enough at this stage!

[MrsR]

YAY my bins have arrived by Fed Ex this morning - I am so excited, just need a clear night.

Quick delivery from FLO - ordered Friday arrived Monday

Brillliant, pleased for you, now we just need some clear skies to get out there!

[thunderbird]

I'm curious to know what your new binos are like. I had to send 2 pairs back to FLO as they had been knocked out of callibration by the courier. FLO were very good about it but now I'll have to buy them from a physisal shop rather than risk the hassle returning via a courier
