Just typed a response and IE chewed it up. Why I don't normally use this MS junk!
ANyhoo..
THanks Dave for the split.
I got really used to eye placement after half a night of viewing at SV camp. For me the initial problem was too much eye relief / too short an eyeguard. (But that's normal for me, and most poeple tend to complain about too little eye relief if anything.) During daytime with a smaller pupil the EP is a bit difficult to use though.
And, yes, you truely appreciate the spectacular ultra-wide views at a dark site. In the burbs you tend to just get a bigger field of skyglow. Still very nice on the brighter objects like Orion neb, Tarantula, LMC.
