Hi Fiske,

The 12x50 SE is quite impressive. I do have a bit of a problem holding on to the exit pupil. Not sure yet, but I think with the eyecups folded down for glasses, the relief might be just a few mm long.

You can expect for a while that bits and pieces of comparisons will trickle in. For some of those bits and pieces see posts on Brightness up above here for coatings comparison, What Can be Seen with Binocs for views, and Early Morning for handheld.

Currently I have numerous forthcoming reports pending and I'm having some trouble pulling together just any one detailed report. A lot still coming out of the keyboard, but I currently need a stringent manager with organizational skills to keep me on one task at a time. I'm convinced it's an ADD thing.

As a college professor once told me -- "You have talent, but you LACK discipline." I'm afraid I've never overcome the problem. The important thing is to have fun, though. This is a hobby, right?

A neighbor of ours decided to sell a 21-foot RV we've admired for years (at an excellent price). We weren't really in the market for one, but couldn't pass up the offer. This means I'll be doing more dark sky site trips now, as well as getting out for nature study and birding.

(Elly has never been in to camping or spending 6-8 hours in a field in the dark -- now we can travel together with most of the comforts of home, especially a bug-free sleeping environment, clean restroom, and a decent cooking area.)
