Really nice build and good views, I would recommend at least a monopod to keep the view steady for lunar - though with fast-moving targets like aircraft, this may or may not be worth it. A phase-correction coating is applied in the full range of roof prism binoculars to maximize image viewing quality.

That bino had been with me ( in Sweden ) to dark places as Oz Sky, Morocco desert, Austria alps, deep in Oregon and OSP several times and many times to LaPalma etc.My priority observings now is faint object far away and for that I need big diameter and a good sky. The ZEISS 20x60 T* S is one of the most unique pairs of binoculars on the market today due to its efficient image stabilisation feature. BAK4 Porro prism optical path and anti-reflection fully multicoated optics permits optimum performance.

It has a locking system in which the moving mechanical parts that act as stabilizers stop moving when the binocular is not in use or we are transporting it. Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged between 18 and 80, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. The 20x60 is already an excellent format, undoubtedly, but if I have to use the binoculars only on a stand, because it is too heavy, in that case I would prefer to have a multi-format instrument, with apertures of at least 120mm and with interchangeable eyepieces, angled at 45°.The image stabiliser is a mechanical masterpiece and naturally needs protection during harsh use, when idle or during transport. When weight is a critical factor for you, then these binoculars are the perfect reason to upgrade to full size. I have a acuity sight of 14/10 Monoyer or 20/14 Snellen o 6/3 Snellen, in the classic ophthalmic setting (from the optician).
