My binoculars arrived last week and I couldn't wait to get out and look at the night sky with them. So many stars! They are relatively light and easy to steady given the size, I haven't used them with a tripod yet but will do so for focusing on particular objects e.g. andromeda.

Exceptionally quick delivery being as it was Xmas week. Quality of the binoculars better than expected. Very pleased all round, thank you.

You'll notice on the photo that it has a base with a pressure nipple, which functions as a type of spring washer. That is the reason why I filled in the bottom cavities on the Skymaster adaptor, to prevent the nipple getting ripped off as the adaptor get screwed on. Excellent value for money.
