Hi All, I browsed the web site. You can also find 20x80 Binocs for $90 and they have a nice 2" to 11/4" adapter with inner brass ring to protect your eyepeice barrels from set screw for $15.

This is NOT an APO or ED objective, and at f/5 will display some color fringes on bright objects. However, it will excell on deep-sky objects and make a magnificent large finder for a big Dob. It comes with a cell. The price is outstanding and I have to thank the underpaid Chinese craftsmen who produced it. It is a full 5" clear aperture lens and an American made equivalent would cost seven or eight times the price. HURRY. Surplus Shed sold out of these in a matter of hours last time they got some in. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://gallery.utahastronomy.com Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
