Fantastic high end binocular from the APM/Lunt stable. 100mm FK61 optics, focal length 550mm (F5.5) with 45 degree angled prisms.

These work fineSupplied with the original 20mm 70 degree wide angle view eyepieces. (x 27.5) It is recommended to use higher grade brands such as Televue or Pentax but I have found standard orthoscopics to be excellent and plossls are still effective.Original foam packing. Inbuilt fittings to attach to a tripod (see pictures)Carry handle. There are two screw hols on the handle to which a red dot finderbase can be attached. Sorry not supplied. I didnt purchase one with the bins as I already had one and I still need it for my other instruments!)
ExtrasThe binoculars were not supplied with a case. I have stored these in a large plastic storage box, from B&Q. The foam packing fits inside and the bins can be transported easily and safely. The box is provided free but if you dont require it, please say so.I obtained a pair of rubber dust caps which I will throw in. These slip onto the dew shield and are easier to use. They will stay on whether the shields are extended or retracted, whereas the screw ons only attach when retracted. This means you can cap your bins during an observing session and keep the shields extended.OtherThere is plenty of space between the tubes for standard dew bands. (not supplied).Weight is just under 7kg without eyepieces and will fit on good standard tripods. APM now provide a single arm support which attaches to a standard tripod and allows free movement.I have used these at home in suburban Chigwell and they push through he light pollution very well. At dark skies such as Kelling and Isle of Wight they competed well with refractors of considerable larger aperture. They are easy to use and take just a few minutes to set up.There is a minor scratch on one of the eyepiece holders. See picture.Reason for selling: – Have upgraded to the larger 120mm version! Collection from Chigwell, Essex only.  This is a large item.

Buyer may arrange courier themselves at their own risk.  Payment by PayPal please . NB this is for UK only  International bids will not be accepted.  NB – this item is listed elsewhere and if sold on that forum while the auction is ongoing, the auction will end.
