Hi All,

Darren,

To ME,there is a lot of WOW factor in these size Binoculars,
For eg,I can see what looks like "wing structure",in M42,with a little colour,
Perhaps grey/pink (to my eyes)

As for Eta Carina, and surrounding,I can only say the WHOLE area is a WOW,to ME.

The entire surrounding area in the vicinity of the Southern Cross,is alive with WOW objects,again, TO ME.

You,and others might not be so impressed,with the performance of 20x80 Binoculars,but as they are truly Grab,and go,I tend to use them more than ANY,other bit of gear I own,INCLUDING the ED 80,and your 9mm eyepiece.
(Which,I am VERY happy with),by the way.

I can pick up the whole tripod,and Binos,with one hand,Have a Sharp, 3.2 deg Fov,with BOTH eyes.

As I have a Breathing Problem in cold air,this is the ultimate QUICK look rig,TO ME.

As I have said before,my other set of BIG bino's, 15x70 Barska's,spend 99%,of their life in the Spare room.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards.
John
