I have the 12.5" f/5 model. Using a binoviewer with any Portaball is a
bit of a challenge, but I believe the SWAN EPs are going to be light
enough to allow me good results.

Saturn at 600x through the binoviewers with my 12.5" Zambuto primary
is also a sublime sight when the seeing conditions permit.
