Many of you have seen this at Burton's

Excellent widefield views of nebulae, clusters and the brighter galaxies

Never had a problem with collimation, and fork mount and tripod with geared column make all the difference when adjusting from horizontal views to the zenith

Includes my own adaptation from finder to red dot finder (believe me, much easier to use and find targets) as well as a pair of Astrotech 16mm flat field EPs

Disclosures:

Chips to paint on fork mount, minor chips on binocular paint on side from mounting

Knob on crank handle of tripod will come off if you pull on it. Of course it doesn't hurt anything and just snaps back in place.

It's heavy, but it's stable. 

Includes hard foamed case for binocular 

I have this listed for $1650 on astromart but for local pickup will take $1500
