I recently purchased a Canon 15x50 IS and I can't put it down. The Moon, Jupiter and it's moons, open clusters and nebula are mesmerizing. I have tracked the ISS, and other sattlelites with ease using these binoculars. I purchased them for travel, but I use them just as much at home! -------------------- Jonathan TeleVue TV102 on Vixen SXW mount Meade LXD 55 SN10/UHTC Modified Jason 60mm F11 Canon 15x50 IS Olympus E-510, 14-42, 40-150 Zuiko Meade DSI, LPI TeleVue: Binovue & 2X Cor. 3x barlow, 2x 5mm, 2x7mm, 12mm, 17mm & 2-4mm Zoom Naglers, 2x24mm, & 27mm panoptics, 55mm Plossl & 3mm Radian 2" OIII & Nebustar filters Siebert Power Mag wheel Lumicon Filter selecter & 2" focal reducer Celestron: 7 1.25" color filters 7.5mm, 26mm eps & 2X ultima barlow Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Back to basics aka Binos Mary 07/21/08 06:17 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos Protheus   07/21/08 06:47 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos Wes James   07/21/08 07:03 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos Protheus   07/22/08 05:46 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos Mary   07/22/08 06:02 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos doctordub   07/23/08 01:06 AM Re: Back to basics aka Binos GlennLeDrew   07/23/08 03:15 AM Re: Back to basics aka Binos yagon   07/23/08 07:20 AM Re: Back to basics aka Binos leo9   07/23/08 12:35 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos EdZ   07/23/08 12:46 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos edwincjones   07/21/08 07:12 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos PhilH   07/22/08 08:05 AM Re: Back to basics aka Binos Mary   07/22/08 03:16 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos SaberScorpX   07/22/08 04:12 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos KennyJ   07/22/08 04:49 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos davidmcharg   07/21/08 07:28 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos werewolf6977   07/21/08 08:34 PM Re: Back to basics aka Binos Mary   07/22/08 12:18 AM Re: Back to basics aka Binos kcolter   07/22/08 07:58 AM Re: Back to basics aka Binos ronharper   07/22/08 01:20 AM Extra information 7 registered and 18 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
