Rob , Thats a reasonable question ! . The answer is that any denigration depends on so many factors : prevailing winds , temperature gradients, time of year, altitude of object, how close aperture is to horizontal, upwind or downwind head position, clothing worn etc. Sometimes it may be noticeable and other not. In practise you see a lot more at lower power than you will with a mono due to better acuity and contrast which prabably makes things a littel more forgiving.
On the Friday night at Lostock views through the 12" F5 were razor sharp with 13mm Nagler, showing clearly the loops on Eta Carina star. At the end of the day ( or night in this case) one is so absorbed in the binocular view that any shortcomings are obviated by the total obsorption one has in true binocular viewing
. The old adage , observe more , worry less is very pertinent here.
