    Favorite Digiscope for Binoculars?

    I have a couple Nikon EDG binoculars and Canon IS binoculars. I’ve tried a Novagrade digiscope, a Celestron NexYZ, and a few cheap (~ $15-20 USD) digiscopes to take photos with my iPhone. None of the digiscopes has seemed very stable with the connection to the binoculars’ eyepieces, probably...

    Questar Field Scope for Birding?

    Questar, in its advertisements in the 60’s and 70’s, often showed an image of a bird through the scope, if I remember correctly. Just wondering whether any BF members actually use their Questar scopes for regular birding. If so, do you use the fast focus accessory or the regular focus? Thank...

    Experience with Buying from Kyoei-Osaka

    At the suggestion of another member, I’m putting up this post. K-O is a large retailer in Japan that offers impressively low prices for many of the binoculars, telescopes, and cameras. I had a great experience ordering a Nikon WX 10x50 from them last May and estimate I saved about $1800 over...

    Swarovski SLC 8x56 or Canon 10x42L IS for Astronomy?

    Which would you rather use for astronomy and why? Assume you can only hand-hold the binoculars, i.e., no tripod or assistance of any kind. I’d be very interested in hearing from those who have used both binoculars. Thank you in advance, Gary

    Nikon EDG 8x42 vs. Swarovski EL 8.5x42

    Does anybody else enjoy the Nikons as much as the Swarovskis? I find them very close in terms of edge-to-edge sharpness, accuracy of color, brightness, lack of CA, and FoV but, in terms of value, especially if purchasing both today, IMHO the Nikon wins out. If only Nikon complemented the...

    Hello

    Good afternoon, I’m new to this forum but have been on an astronomy forum for years (Cloudy Nights). I’m interested in the finer points of observational equipment, especially binoculars, so hope to pick up some valuable information and opinions here. Kind regards, Gary
