Re: Miyauchi 5x32 First Impressions/First Light

I don't know how it comes that I actually missed this thread and therefore asked Wes to post a review of the Miyauchi 5x32. But know I am here...
I have several times in other threads mentioned my interest for this binocular. I can understand them who consider the interest for a 5x32 binocular for astronomical use as a contradiction. But I have thought much about the usage of this configuration. Some of my conclusions are:
* Such a low powered small aperture binocular with a very wide FOV is not the choice for really seeing details or collect a hugh amount of light. But I guess it will provide the feeling to be an extension of the naked eye in a higher degree than usual binoculars.
* The 5x32 surely is the best available binocular for beginners of astronomy! It will provide much more to see than the naked eye, but without making the observer to totally losing the orientation among the constellations. Which in the very beginning isn't unusual even with a normal 7x50!
* Surely it is the perfect binocular for gamesports, and like Wes mentioned, airshows.
* the stabile and comfortable image of the sky without support isn't either to be belittled.
I just want to quote what Wes said earlier:
Quote:
I think it's just that we represent the fanatical, maniacial hardcore epicenter of the astronomy binocular nuts!
Thank you for making me happy! I am not alone... 
Regards, Patric
