    Opinion on CN

    I do enjoy these popcorn moments. I splurged on a 95mm ATX scope. It's good. It's great. Having fondled a few pairs of Swarovski binoculars, I decided against getting them. They look lovely. They feel lovely. They are lovely. They were just too bloody expensive for my needs. Something is now...

    Product Review: The Sky Rover Banner Cloud 8 x 42 Binocular

    Thank you Neil. Any idea where I could buy some of these? Seem to be missing from their Aliexpress store. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

    Older style ATX foot options.

    Hello all. I have an older style ATX scope with the non Arca Swiss foot. What are my options to avoid rotation and securely mount it on a tripod head? How are people dealing with the foot? Once winter comes, I'll probably send off to Swarovski to have it replaced. Thanks Stew

    Night vision equipment for mortals

    I have the HIK Micro Lynx PRO 25mm. It's fine. I do wish I'd saved for a bit longer.

    Optical comparison of the 8X42 NL Pure to the 8.5X42 EL SV

    I'm a binocular novice. I tested an older pair of EL 8.5x42 yesterday and noticed the rolling ball thing. Irritating!

    Help me Bird Forum, you're my only hope... new binoculars, £1000. UK.

    Not a huge football fan but my Dad is. Doubt he's overly proud to be a geordie this evening. I think I'll just order the GPO on Monday. I'm unlikely to sell and would rather keep as a rainy day binocular if I ever bought alpha. I just want something better than I have now.

    Thank you so much for that update. It's really useful. I guess the GPO are still in the game for me.

    I think I'd want the smaller form factor of non-porros. Just fitting them in places and carrying them with camera and monopod etc. I may be entirely wrong. But that's my current thinking.
