fresh out of the box ,
APM 82mm sd binos.
all i need is the tripod and its head to have a little fun.
I can't wait to see what satisfaction they can give me.

Jean-Yves,

Wonderful. Congratulations. I know you've been waiting for quite a while for these to be delivered.

Enjoy and I'll look forward to reading your observing reports.

cheers

Very nice Jean-Yves, they look worthy indeed.

Nice bins Jean-Yves.

I hope not too many clouds were delivered with them!

My APMs are brilliant.

Looking good! Now comes the fun of collecting EP pairs.

yes and no, I bought my two zoom lenses for precisely that.
but who knows maybe I will.
thx Big .

thank you Michael, one day maybe for you if ever the desire is too strong.

Looking good! Now comes the fun of collecting EP pairs.

I just noticed that you have 100mm 90 binos
so I'm sure you'll be able to help me if I ever decide on eyepieces.
for 82mm binos what do you suggest as a high magnification eyepiece?
I know that we cannot have the same magnification as a telescope.
thank you in advance.

Typically, the binocular scopes are collimated to be good up to ~1 mm exit pupil. For 80mm that would be ~80x.

I think 80 is already very good.

You are to a good start with a pair of Mark IV zooms. That's was my plan until I discovered that my face is too narrow for them. Took me quite a bit of effort to find EPs that would fit.

Not to still your thunder but here is a post describing my setup. I find red dot finder very useful.

Since I haven't received my tripod yet I can't really say if the space between the two zoom lenses is ok with my nose.
but otherwise I will turn to Delite eyepieces.
they are small.
On my binoviewers the zooms work very well.
