However, I need my glasses to look up at the sky and identify stars. Without them on, it's too much out of focus. So my glasses are coming on and off as I go from "naked-eye" to through the binoculars.

Has anyone got some tips on how they have approached this issue, or do I just have to put up with it? (and make sure I always have an accessible top shirt pocket to drop them in and not on the ground - CRUNCH!)

Thanks

Go to your local optician and get one of those little old lady type strings that attach to the glasses. You just take the specs off and let them dangle around your neck until needed. Saves a lot of grief looking for specs in the dark.
