As stated here is brief light hearted review of the Taks.
Eye Relief
Well i would say poor as it is always a big relief to my
eyes when i take the binos away from them.
Contrast
Contrast is very good having a nice Black/Grey body
with nice contrasting pics of constellations imprinted on them.
FOV
Im changing this to Favs,my favourite targets are...Planets,Squirrels and Sally who lives across the road.
On the Mount
It appears ok on the mount but to be honest i think that a nice pair of Leicas would look a lot better as they have a matching red dot.
Well i hope that you enjoyed that  but "Please Note"
that this in no way is meant to undermine a certain Gentlemans "Tireless" review of these and other Binos.

Yes indeed Wes it helps protect the Binos when mounting.
Im away to Kielder Star Camp now,a real Dark site to try them out properly.

Well im just back from a star party and its all true what they say about these binos,velvety black back-ground and pinpoint stars,make for a contrasty,immersive,effortless view that even i a solar astronomer found intoxicating.
I did have a "Lot" of help to find my way round these dark skies,so a big thanks to my friends.
Re the Objectives,can anyone tell me if the fluorite element is the interior or exterior lens and what would be the safest means of cleaning them.
Plus some advice on mounting an RDF would be great to

the flourite is the external element.
I would take the greatest care cleaning, in fact don't clean unless absolutely necessary.
I use pre-moisted Zeiss lens closths. gently wiping over spots with little to no pressure. A touch up with a huhh of breath and a lens microcloth does the trick.
