The views through my 15X70 Oberwerk (which arrived on June 10) are twice as good even when rested on a conveniently sized wall. The moon, Crux, Carina's many sights, Scorpius, you name it, they are all better. -------------------- Oberwerk 15X70 Pentax PCF 12X50 Nikon 7X50 Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Which pair?
