I'm intrigued by binoviewers, though not to the point of spending more
on them than I did on the scope I'll use them with. In the economy class
choices seem to be:

o Williams Optics
o Burgess
o Stellarvue
o Siebert


Any recommendations? And why? The comparative reviews I've found seem to
be at the higher end of the price spectrum.




Hi:

I wrote a review of the Burgesses some time back, which
you can find on the Astromart review section, I believe. They were
pretty good for the price, but not without problems.


I read your review. In a recent forum msg (CN?) it was mentioned that
Burgess is coming out with a new model with larger prisms, etc.

Are you aware you can get a pair of Denkmeier Basic
Standards for $399.00? I guar-ron-tee that these will be head and
shoulders above the Cheapies.

What do you get for (a little) more money?


Reasonable advice. But I believe those come without accessories (EPs +
OCA). So the full-up price would likely be more like $550-600, don't
you think?

Thanks for the advice. I will look into those Denks.
