Agree with the comfortable views, but the loss of light puts me off. Although great on the moon. I can also tell there are more optics in the optical train compared with mono viewing. Just depends how critical you are. For me it just a curiosity these days. I just recently spent many hours viewing Saturn and comparing mono with bino mode and came to the conclusion the sharper and brighter images of cyclops were preferrable to me. I have a Denk II Supersystem, so not like it's a lousy binoviewer.

In any case, I don't doubt there are those who prefer the views and don't question that at all. You won't really know until you try for yourself, so if at all possible, try and see before you shell out $$$'s like I did. If you can't manage that, I guess you'll have to go by your instincts and other peoples comments.

Clear skies!
