In testing 10x50 binoculars I looked at the serial numbers and found that on at least 3 numbers some inferences could be drawn from them. The new Nikon Extreme...
The eyecups on these rotate up and they have 3 different "click stop" heights along the way beyond all the way retracted. Each step elevates the lip of the...

Fiske, You are right about filtering outside the system, in front of the objectives. That would be the only safe way to do it. My comments were mainly directed...

I think your idea is very interesting. Important to take in account: you have to know the length of the optical path, the magnification of the system and the...
Personnally, I do use a filtered telescope to observe our sun. But at sidewalk observing parties I have used projection onto a white card. --Donald I...
