Our video tour of Heart's features is reaching some new people so here's a fresh discussion about why you'd look through fancy binoculars instead of a telescope or regular binoculars.

Heart looks very interesting. Still interested in Swift and Drifter though.

How will the optics compare to similar well known Chinese made 82mm achromatic BT's available for $1099? Do you have an Apochromatic optics upgrade in the pipeline?

Our premium optics kit for Heart uses diagonal mirrors guaranteed 1/4 wave P/V or better with dielectric coatings and lenses with BBAR coating >99.5% transmission. Not familiar with what Kunming puts on SkyRover/APM/etc. models. (Those brands don't specify on their own sites.) We have a design for an aspheric f/5 cemented doublet using fk-61 with a center spot strehl of .85 but they would be fairly expensive to produce. If we did something like that it would be on a group buy model rather than a standard option. In general we're more interested in growing the stargazing/amateur astronomy community than providing premium optics to an incredibly select group of optics enthusiasts, so that's our focus. There are a lot of 72mm f/6 ED lenses floating around out there that could be used. The Tak/Tec/A-P/etc. owners who have looked through Heart were more than satisfied with the low-medium power views at star parties. As always, we welcome comparisons to any commercial binocular offering at any price for the purpose of enjoying a night under the stars.

@@AnalogSky Thanks for coming back to me! If the FK-61 doublet went ahead id let my 70mm binocular telescope go in favour of a Heart kit. Il keep an eye out for updates
