I'm glad you like your binoviewers Ken. I find your comment about "3D like depth" interesting, I've heard other people mention it too but the only time I notice such an effect is when observing the Moon. I'm not saying that you don't see it (everybody's perception is a bit different) and I really like binoviewing for brighter objects (Moon, planets, brighter/high contrast deep sky objects) but for me the main advantage is comfort. Comfort is important because in general the longer I look at something the more detail I will see. Clear skies!
