Swedpat,
Indeed, 2.3X sounds like so little. But it really does fill in a gap between naked eye and typical bino magnifications. And they do deliver at least a 1.5 magnitude gain, while providing a field large enough to take in the smaller constellations in their entirety (more so if you take off that rear perforated eyepiece cover which keeps your eyes too far back.)
--------------------
Home-made 11X50 right angle bino, 8.1 deg. FOV
Modified 26X100 bino, 3.5 deg. FOV
