Congrats on the binoviewers, Allan! Use those for a bit, and you're going to hate to go back to one eye observing.

3D effect isn't what it really is. Your brain will sometimes give you a false impression of seeing in 3D, but in truth it's still a flat image. I compare the extent of the 3D effect as the same as when looking through my binoculars. You can hold a pair of binoculars up in the daytime, looking into the distance. Open and close one eye while looking through them. You don't really see 3D with both eyes open, but your brain tells you it's there, so you somewhat have a (false) feel for it. Same thing I notice when looking through my binoviewers. I notice it most when observing the moon.
