New 125mm binoculars from Vixen
      06/25/08 02:39 PM

Just talked to Mike at Astronomics about new Vixen 125mm binoculars that will take standard 1 1/4 eps. Word is that the price will be around $4K, but that will include the fork and mount and 22mm eps so you are looking at a complete package.

It is scheduled to be available in the US in August.

With my 24 Pans assuming f/5, it would give 26x at 4.8mm exit pupil.....perfect for MW scanning!

Needless to say, Mr. Bill is watching developments with GREAT interest.
