Default microscope bino head


There goes the days of the Denkmeier $599 standard!


Hi:

Nah, prob'ly not. Decent used microscope heads are not always available for low
prices. And even if they are, most suffer from rather restrictive fields due to
small prisms. And wouldn't you really rather use good 1.25" "astronomy"
eyepieces, too?
Microscope heads can do an _OK_ job on the Moon planets, but for the deep sky
(or even for Solar System use) the Denk just blows them away. Frankly, for me,
the Denkmeiers made binoviewing a way of life rather than just a
curiousity--I'm serious.



Peace,
