Anyone had personal experience with Williams Optics binoviewer? The reviews on CN are mixed. Baader MaxBright II would be my first choice but they have been out of stock for last few months.
The WO are the same as my Stellarvue set, these are sold by many retailers just rebranded.
William Optics, Celestron, Telescope Service, Orion, Omegon.
They are all made by Kunming United Optics and seem to be the same build quality.
A good set to start out with to see if you enjoy them.
Thanks Gabby. This seems to be the consensus. I have talked to Tom from Agena and unfortunately they have no idea when MaxBright II will be in stock. 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 some
EP pairs, and I thought I am done with
EP hording.

Well, there are hords of eyepieces that set out to conquer, pillage and plunder. And then there are hoards whose intentions are more peaceful.
