low cost optics, cams etc

[nytecam]

At this time of the year it worth Googling both Aldi and Lidl for low cost optics/ cams etc like Aldi 12x32 bins for <£6 with 3yr warrentee and Lidl 'see in the dark' night-vision-device by Bresser for £107 with 5yr warrentee.

From experience the best stuff tends to shift on day of launch! Happy hunting.

yes, I got some a while ago for astronomy ( I needed some 50mm) and they do a very good job, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for that use. They sell out quick!!

Called in Lidl lunchtime today for their Xmas ‘optical’ specials by Bresser - all fully coated lenses + 5yr warrentee. There was plenty of stock currently but this can vary from store to store – Google Lidl for local stores and full specification of items.

1] Birding/astro-scope 25-75 zoom x 90mm OG with sturdy full height tripod/camera adapter @ £97.88.

2] 70mm f/10 refractor + 3 eyepieces + full height tripod + CD software/ star/moon maps etc @ £58.70.
Telescope mount can be tilted to your latitude so a single slow turn of one control knob will track the moon/stars across the sky.

3] 10x50 binoculars with BaK prisms + nylon pouch @ £12.70.

4] Microscope set mag x20-1280 via 3 objectives on rotating carriage + 2 eyepieces and x2 Barlow + USB 640x480p eyepiece camera + software @ £48.90.

5] Pocket microscope x60-100 with light [needs 2xAA bats] 1yr warrentee @ £5.86.

Only opened [and bought the bins] but with Lidl’s 28day return policy/ long warrentee [keep receipt!] there are few worries.
PS: I've no connection to Lidl or Aldi

I had planned to buy a Raclette Grill which was being advertised in their flyer but after reading this post, or it might have been a similar post - I can't remember; I went out earlier this evening to buy a pair of these as well.
