Hello, a bit of context: I've been enjoying visual astronomy for more than 3 years with my 8" f6 and 12" F5 Dobsons.
I bought an Arcturus Binoviewer a year ago and I loved it with the moon and plantes, but with the Barlow to reach focus, the lowest magnification I can get with the 12" dob is 165x using 25mm Plössl or 295x using ES 14mm 82⁰.
I think I would enjoy large TFOV views of the milky way, and I think a big binocular is needed for that.
Now, I've seen the model of the picture in my local market (100mm Omegon Nightstar f/5.6 acromatic 45⁰ + tripod and mount + 2 basic eyepieces for 800€). Is it a great deal? Will I get great results and enjoy it more than my Binoviewer?
The thing I'm most afraid is the acromatic design and color aberration. In the past, I had a 120mm F5 refractor and I didn't like it due to color aberration in all the bright starts and objects I observed. So I'm afraid this happens the same way with this bioscope. But I don't want to spend 3.000€ right now in an apocromatic one...
So, should I just wait and enjoy my dobsons with Binoviewers and mono-viewing for low magnifications or buy this binoscope for 800€? (800€ is a big amount of money for me and my situation, but I guess I could resell it for that amount in the future if I need the money? So that's why I asked if the price is great or just "typical" for this kind of instrument.
Thank you.
