Re: Stellar Separations for Determining Field of V
      05/07/04 08:04 AM

The 22x100 obies were well known for NOT having a FOV that was close to the quoted specs. They were advertised as being 3.5 degrees, but really they are around 2.7 to 2.8 degrees. Kevin at bigbinoculars.com has changed the advertisement spec quote and I assume the FOV stamp on the binos as well. This discrepancy was made obvious to me when I looked at the 3 stars in Orion's belt. They span approx. 3 degrees and I could just barely have all 3 stars in my view.
