Re: Milky Way

Here's a link to their site (click 'specials' at the top)
Lidl Online
Last couple of years, the offer came in around 12th-15th Dec

Also worth looking out for, every few months, they sell a pair of Bresser / Meade 10x50 binoculars, for just £9-99
VERY sharp - across most of the field, nice bright clear images.
I'm not exaggerating when I say they are as good as some £50 and £60 binocs I've looked through.

I have two pairs...
Keep one with my sky charts - they easily show all the stars plotted on my most detailed charts, and are a very useful 'bridge' between charts and telescope, when I'm looking for new objects.
The other pair 'live' in the car - so I alwys have binocs with me - and if they get bumped around and broken, in the car, it's no disaster, cos I can pick up another for a tenner

This - from my astronomy forum - last time they were on offer..

* Robust rubber-coated metal casing
* 10x magnification
* Diopter adjustment
* 50mm objective lens diameter

* Fold down rubber eye-caps for spectacle wearers

* 5 year manufacturer's warranty
* Price per item £9.99

Only available while stocks last
May be branded either 'Meade' or 'Bresser' (both the same company anyway)


Be quick with both of these offers though - they are well known around the astronomy communities - and they usually sell out on the first day they go on sale - get there early to be sure to get one.
When I got the telescope and mount, I got there at 10 (they opened at 9) and I was lucky to get the last one
