"BV3 Binoviewer. Our new BV3 binoviewers feature high contrast, 22mm BAK4 prisms and they weigh only 22 ounces! This binoviewer will work with any of our "binoviewer-ready" telescopes as well as popular SCTs. For use with our non binoviewer-ready telescopes (such as the Nighthawks, 809D and SV102ED) or any other refractor on the market, the BVA adapter below is required. This system includes the improved BV3 binoviewer with locking, self centering collets, and two fully multi-coated 23mm eyepieces.

These binoviewers come with our high performance 23mm wide field fmc eyepieces providing a 50 degree field of view and 18mm of eye relief. These are great high contrast eyepieces. These binoviewers work great with 23mm or shorter focal length 1 1/4" eyepieces. Our favorite binoviewing eyepieces are the 19mm Panoptics. For higher power work we like the 9 - 16mm Naglers.

Is this the one you were talking about? Yea it does look nice, and its the same price as the WO bino...

Does the BV3 come with a nice carrying case like the WO ? seems they offer a special optional carrying bino case, but what about the one that comes with the bino originally.

For my scope, an 8" lx-90 i really don't see a reason to go crazy and buy a really high quality bino. My telescope is GoTo and doesnt have any counter weights, so i have to be reasonable with how much i put on the back end.
