Quote: One problem I've always had with the Miyauchi line is that the (effectively) non-foldable eyecups make them impractical for eyeglass wearers. The Big Binoculars site shows 22mm eye relief for these. Do you have any sense of how they would work for those of us that need eyewear for astigmatism?
Bill-
Finally checked them this morning with my glasses on- and with the eyecups up, I could not pick up the full FOV. Maybe only 60-70% at most. Sure glad I don't view with glasses! I did not try to roll the eyecups down, which had been previously noted as possible.
Quote: I've actually thought you guys must be a bit crazy going DOWN in magnification for astro binoculars regardless of the 5mm exit pupil. The idea of wide field is fine but 5x on the sky?? I don't even care for how little an 8x40 shows me! Maybe my relatively dark skies have spoiled me. Cool little bins though.........THAT I can see!

Maybe dark skies will change my mind, too! Had to have at least one pair of widefield binoculars, though- Wes
