I think in the case of binoviewers you can bever get them quite lined up perfectly and that little bit of difference between the two images tricks your brain into thinking its 3D. It could also just be the effect of using both eyes. Using both eyes is soooo comfortable; no more eye strain. -------------------- -John ================================================ Homebuilt scopes from 4.25-16.5" Meade LXD75-N6/SN6/SC8, DSX-90, ETX-60BB, ETX-125PE, DS-2130 Orion StarBlast, BinoViewers, Coronado PST Rebel XT/XTi, DSI Pro (I, II, & III), DSI, LPI, Electronic Eyepiece, Phillips SPC900NC Tasco 60mm Refractors Post Extras:       highfnum super member Reged: 09/06/06 Posts: 191 Loc: NY Re: First Impressions with the BIPH Image Intensif [Re: jgraham]       #3193827 - 07/01/09 08:04 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   a few more shots with biph http://www.cloudynights.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=18799 http://www.cloudynights.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=18798 http://www.cloudynights.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=18800 Edited by highfnum (07/01/09 08:19 PM) Post Extras:       Chris Schroeder Postmaster Reged: 12/11/04 Posts: 6523 Loc: N.E.

The color in my IIE with Ha filter is more of a creamy greenish white color. Details about the same. Details and contrast very dependent on scope size, focal ratio/reduction, altitude in the sky, sky conditions, etc. Good photos John. I need to start taking pics through the eyepiece, too. -------------------- Tools that make objects very far away appear much closer than they actually are.
