Hi Leon,

I wasn't asking the question. Steve actually adressed this question to me in a different thread and I suggested he start a new thread specifically on this topic and I would respond there.

Your comment above is not totally correct. See my detailed response to Steve below. Wearing glasses or having a need to wear glasses when you are observing can have a significant effect on observing. Your comment only holds true for people who wear glasses, but do not suffer from astigmatism. Most people who have myopic correction (shortsighted) also have astigmatism correction, particularly those over 40 yrs of age.

Cheers,
John B
