Hmmmm
To be fair, the Denkmeier Big Easy does give me around 200 -250 mag with improved detail when compared to a single eyepiece. It is less sharp by a small margin compared to monocular viewing but the brain processes two eyes with ease and allows me to spend more time viewing with the bino thus allowing to discern more detail...
It may be a good time to clearly state what I do not like about the Denk Big Easy:
Lack of grip (ANY grip) on the body makes it easy to drop...
The OCS uses bright retaining rings for the lenses causing reflections especially in the focal reducer.
It claims the highest clear aperture yet vignettes with the Pan 24's
Bright stars or planets cause reflections from my eyes back into the bino and the bino combines the reflections - this may be a common problem with all binoviewers...
Most recently I have discovered that my new Denk is out of collimation without dropping it or even shaking it. It does not hold collimation and I do not know what is worse - not collimated properly from factory or loosing collimation in use. The unit is only few months old.
The eyepiece locking mechanism is crude and flimsy (but it works).
That is all for now...
I use it on 10" SCT with the 1 /1/4" OCS.
