Eek! a year late and who knows how many dollars short. I'm a former Californian who would be happy to give some advice if you ever come out this way. As we say here in AL, "Come see us." If you go to Dauphin Island in April, you won't be sorry.

I am thinking about purchasing a pair of 8x30 eII binoculars I found online. I am looking for a pair of binoculars that will work for both my wife and I, that is, fit her small hands and need to wear eyeglasses while birding. Will these binos fit her needs? Also, while I was searching for my...

Just want to make sure I'm not getting a lemon. Short of getting a lemon, I'm sure I'll love the new scope. I'm glad I have the ability to purchase this kind of equipment. My wife didn't even give me a hard time about it ;-). (Actually, she encouraged me to get a nice scope :-). I'm a lucky...
I just ordered a Zeiss Diascope 85 from Birdwatching.com. Besides just going out and bird watching are there other ways to test the optics of my new scope? I read somewhere in the forum about star testing (seems to be a controversial test). Any links on optically testing my new scope? Thanks...
