This is so good!

I also did the comparison between my 30mm SuperView & a 38mm Q70 I was looking to buy, and found the exact opposite of yours!!!!

I was looking to buy it from a fellow IIS member who brought it over one night. He too looked through both EPs and saw the same thing.

I will say that the SuperView I have now I only use at outreach occasions as it is a very easy EP to use for novices. I don't use it for my own observing any more. Alas there is only so much inexpensive EPs can do for us right now. In another 10, 15 years could be another story.

If you do want a better age, then yes, a few more $ do need to be spent. But I don't subscribe to the big $$$ either. It comes to be a balance between AFOV, human eye physiology, mass of the EP, it's intended use, and what you are happy to use.

But if all you want is an inexpensive finder EP, either the 'Q70' or Superviews will do.
