Ralph, In your previous post you say - "The Cloudy nights review of the Miyauchi Saturn III vs Tele Vue 127 is another example of how today's optics beat the...
Barry, Your not honestly trying to tell us out here that the Denk binoviewer is going to make the views through the TV-127 dimmer, in how the observers brain...
That’s all nice Ed, but Barry’s numbers are still horribly inaccurate. I base my information on views through the eyepiece, and my 4" binos on some dim...
Just a small reminder Barry, you left out the quote "40% gain factor for the physiological performance gain you get from using two eyes." as ed stated in...
Ed, this discussion is based on a comparision of similar magnifications using two different optical instruments. To go beyond that, as you mentioned in regards...
There's a new comet, Comet C/2006 M4 (SWAN), above Leo's (Denebola) and about 10 degrees up in the morning twilight. The comet I've read is easily seen in...
Ralph, based on your comments here, there are some concepts of light that you simply seem to not understand and you are misintepreting what is really going on...

On a more astronomical note, there are now 3 visible comets in the night sky that are all visible with binoculars. Lucky are us to have them, and are able to...
By increasing the magnification of your refractor model beyond the magnification of the 4" binoculars, you have thrown a variable into the comparison which can...
Note - the bulk of this post will become an assessment of my experience in using both 100 mm Miyauchi binoculars and a 6" Jaegers refractor As I said in my...
Ralph, I can assure you Barry is well aware of the data he mentions. Not only did Barry provide realistic test data for limiting magnitude studies (several...
