Celestron 60 Degree Binoviewer

This is a well built unit, the only plastic is the eyepiece holers. Simply slide it into your refractor 2" focuser. A good alternative to the more expensive units at 1/2 to 1/3 the cost, especially if medium to high power solar system observing is your interest. 60 Degree angle elimates the need for an additional 90 degree diagonal much like other expensive units. There are some drawbacks such as refocusing when tweeking the interpupilary distance, and the use of very small prizms. When using TV 32MM plossel, (almost the largest true field for a 1.25 eyepiece), there is some vingetting. However works well with a 19MM WideField with 65 apparent field of view. My rating is an 8, one strike for having to refocus, one strike for the field of view.
