Hi does anyone have a bino to sell to a newbie? thanks

20x80 binocular are generally not recommended for newbies, unless you are already familiar with starhopping, especially with a narrower 2-3 deg field. You also need a sturdy mount and tripod for the 20x80. For newbies, a 7x35, 7x50, 8x40, 8x42, 10x42 or 10x50 bino would be much easier to use.

But if you are still keen, you can also check out my review of the Pentax 20x60, which is much lighter and more compact than the 20x80.

Thanks Bro rlow,

Rich, when you free to check out my 20x80? Very sian got bino cannot use now ...

Jeremy, as I have told you, just drop by with your bino in the weekday evenings around 10-11pm when you are free. Tonight would be ok. Sms or call me before you come.

I think hannah/hlyf has a 7x50 for sale. PM her for details.

7x50 is a good starter bino for stargazing, and i recommend a few sessions with the pros to identify what you are seeing, before you start out on your own. A few choices are: rlow (west or overseas), weixing (east/tampines). Anyone offering themselves in central?

Hehe weixing rlow, i hope you don't mind my blatant advertising of you all

thanks,but 7x 50 too weak
