Hi,
Next month I'm giving a talk on cheap binoculars to my club. I have some years of experience in amateur Astronomy, cameras and optics, but I can go months without observing, am still learning the sky and certainly do not consider myself to be an expert on binoculars. The talk is mostly aimed at newcomers of which there have been a few lately. There are also some extremely experienced guys in my club, and I'm hoping they get something out of it too.
I was hoping some of you might be interested in looking over my slides and commenting. Constructive comments only please. (If I've said or done something stupid please tell me, but keep it civil). Not interested so much in opinions on my own opinions, which probably won't change, but on the factual side of the discussion and it's format.
If you do look please note that I intend to stop at slide 45. The rest is there for background. I will be skimming a lot. Most of it is there to stand on it's own for reference after the talk. I am aware I'm violating presentation rules by including too many points per slide and too many slides. Cutting a presentation down has never been my strong suit, and it doesn't help that I'm trying to be comprehensive.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to comment.
Here are the slides:
