[QUOTE="Binastro, post: 3439722, member: 111403"] Just looked at half Moon in not great conditions. The 8x32 HD I found much easier to use one handed, the 8x42 HG was unbalanced for me. Ghosting not bad with either from half Moon, but bad from nearby security lights, but very brief look. Moon itself O.K. in both, but found 8x32 much easier to focus one handed. It is more compact. Perseid meteors tonight, tomorrow and next few nights if clear. P.S. Forgot to mention that the case for the 8x32 HD is thicker material and seems better and more protective than the case for the 8x42 HG. The latter has a rubbery inside probably waterproof, but could encourage damp in long term storage, although both binoculars are waterproof. [/QUOTE]
