In the mean time to get my feet wet I picked of CN a used Orion binoviewer of Kunming United Optics variety. I will let you know how it goes. Still need to get someLady Fraktor wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 4:09 pmThe WO are the same as my Stellarvue set, these are sold by many retailers just rebranded.
