[QUOTE="BobinKy, post: 1000574, member: 58027"] John: I notice from your many posts you have considerable experience with various binoculars and spotting scopes. If you have the time, could you speak to the following. [COLOR="Blue"][B]Q1[/B] [/COLOR]I own a [URL="http://www.garrettoptical.com/product-p/s85hd-wp.htm"][B]Garrett Signature 22x85 HD[/B][/URL] binocular, which I use for astronomy.
