May be a touch short on eye relef for spectacle wearers but,a great binocular for astronomy and for this price you can"t go wrong.

Usable eye relief is about 13 mm, improvable to 14 with a bit of do-it-yourself. Without any modification at the eyepieces I can see at least 60 degrees of AFOV with glasses on.

*Word deleted by the CN gnaughties gnomes* Claudio,great to hear from you as always.
Thats useful information you have provided,thankyou.
The binoculars represent an especially good deal for UK residents as the people selling them offer free postage.

Apparently,"Hello Claudio" is now a naughty word on CloudyNights.
WHATS GOING ON HERE?

I suspect you left off the "o" on "Hello". I know that if that slipped by, it would have permanently damaged the large under 18 readership of this site.
