+Bino-viewer Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 £235 Felix. I'd sooner have got it for £200 by hay-ho. Had a nice chat with Al Nagler.....he even tried to get me to buy the TV bino-viewer with a couple of Delos eyepieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Cool, thanks I take it you didn't get the bino-viewers then?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 No. The Tv Bino is £800-£900 circa ( i think ; i didn't ask ) Its been around for years, and other brands have surpassed it. Doesn't mean its not top drawer though. Don't think Tv sell too many of them. Denkmeier seem to be leading the pack over in the US.

Brantuk Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I wondered who'd be the first to get that - might have guessed lol - nice one Shiela! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I wondered who'd be the first to get that - might have guessed lol - nice one Shiela! i had been talking to them for a while..... knew it was being launched at Astrofest. I went to talk to the designer and he is trying to get 1st one done for me in the next week. Delivery after that is 8 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Brilliant - I only found out about them a couple of weeks ago too and knew it would be at Astrofest. Can't wait to see yours when you get it. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Omg that is just awesome. Sort of puts my feeble little purchase to shame. Edited February 8, 2014 by Daz Type-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Omg that is just awesome. yes and it does not weigh a tonne like the pier tech ones. Found out about it about a month ago... suits me and the 130 no bashing it on the tripod legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 So can I borrow your GM100 indefinitely then now you have the lander? lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Are you selling the wooden tripod? Di wants it for her binoculars lol (or does that go on top too hahaha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The 'Lander' looks amazing Sheila.....! I'd love to see some images of the whole setup when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Wow, that's a lovely bit of engineering there. Very nice Sheila. Daz, nowt wrong with your "feeble" purchase. If it ain't collimated, then that's the whole night ruined, a Cheshire eyepiece is a very underrated bit of kit. It just takes a bit of practise to use one.
