Night Myopia. Do the stars still look blurry even with glasses on?

[StargazerMan]

I never knew what 'night myopia' was until one of our club members did a talk about it. After testing my eyes at night (with my glasses on!) and getting a separate pair of 'observing glasses', it's made an incredible difference.
I made a vid to show what I did and how to get the glasses cheaply.

Do you have night myopia? (https://youtu.be/SCpk3I9qqbc)

Thanks Frank. Got me thinking I may have the same problem. I'll be checking on this the very next chance I get.

Thank you for this info Frank:thumbsup:

Might be time to think about shifting your astronomy efforts to EAA, which uses a high frame rate video capable camera and software to take over from observational astronomy.

With you all the way Glen. EAA solved a lot of problems for me, including eyesight in decline and not wanting to wear glasses at the eyepiece. One of the biggest upsides to EAA is the ability to see so much more than I ever could as a visual observer. I can now share what I'm seeing with others in real time too. I often send screen grabs from the computer to my family and friends in WhatsApp as I'm building the images. It makes for a great night's observing.

It's definitely worth the investigation into an EAA setup Frank. There's no going back once you take the leap of faith!
