My new Helios Quantum 6 20/26/32x88 giant binoculars first light


First light was for Jupiter :D

Today, Jupiter (atitude 29.34º, 19:52 the only moment a break in the clouds gave a chance...), beautiful, amazing.... cloud bands were clear there (even at 20x); the four Galilean moons, dancing around the gas giant in a perfect line.

This kind of equipment is very fast to prepare and use... see it, take it, use it... and enjoy it!

I´m using an Utralyt 6097 tripod. My first feedback is good. It is solid and supports very well the 4.5kg of the binoculars.... easy to mount and use, soft movements,... and cheaper than other ones with similar features :)
