[QUOTE="Binastro, post: 3505594, member: 111403"] Transparent sky last night. Moon, Earthshine and Venus lovely. Soviet 6x24 measured field 11.7 degrees. May try again on other stars. Ghosting/flare bad 4/10 Star images good, but angular magnification distortion severe near edge. Edge stars long tangential lines at edge. Amplivid 6x24 12.6 deg although 12.15 deg stated, 212m at 1000m. Glare/flare fair 6/10. Star images good but 0.4 mag fainter than Soviet 6x24. Less AMD near edge. Edge better than Soviet. Edge stars radial lines shorter than Soviet 6x24 tangential lines. Estimate 75% transmission Soviet, 55% Amplivid. The Amplivid is nicer to use, gentle image, relaxing if dim because of old mirrors. Also smaller, pocketable, but more fragile probably. Dougie did a good job servicing the Amplivid. I don't know anyone who could do it now he has sadly gone. An Amplivid with modern coatings would be something special, although delicate maybe. [/QUOTE]
