Like for use when walking dogs, taking out trash to view the night sky. I'm a newbie trying to learn my way around. I have a couple of scopes, but want grab-n-go. I have a cheap pair of 8x30, but find I cant hold real still so I'm considering 7x50. Im taking a train trip from NC to MT and have never seen REAL dark sky Any thoughts would be greatly apreciated Thanks! -------------------- Jeff ------------------------ I hope you brought your credit card with you, and I hope you know how to Drive on these long, lonely freeways and intersections we've got up Here. We've got two cars in the garage, and Drum-majorettes in white ankle socks and baton twirling on Sundays. We've got stripes and the stars and Uncle Sam's on Mars....
