I do spend a lot of time under the stars but also manage to get a few hours of birding in very week and also observe wildlife at dusk several times a week. I'm sure of course you do much more but the point you missed (probably on purpose) is that unlike you I strive to be consistent and objective in my testing, on the other hand your bias is legendary among forum members. I'm really done with this line of conversation also.....as Jerry would say I'm just feeding the troll.What does testing under the stars have to do with birding? There is absolutely no guarantee a good astro binocular is going to be a good birding binocular. You are looking for different things entirely. It doesn't take that long to tell if a binocular is better than another or not. A few hours under different situations and it is easy to see which one is better. You are more of amateur astronomer than a birder and you are looking for a different set of parameters when you judge your binoculars. You don't need a chart either to see which binocular shows you better detail on a bird either. Any birder can see the difference.
