[QUOTE="OPTIC_NUT, post: 3327541, member: 121951"] Over 300-400meters, there are hardly any days where looking horizontally through air near sea level can hold up to more than 50-60x. So I think many points are moot beyond that. Whatever the optics, you cannot buy ED or HD air. Not for all the tea and heavy-metal glass in China. No magical scopes can stop the belly-dance. You can go up a mere 3000-ft mountain and look down at a 30-50 degree angle, though. Slicing the air onion that way, now you can finally talk about 100x or so. That's what I believe....and what I have observed, from Osprey in the White Mountains to 23-ft drones orbiting over Boston, from hikers below Mt.Cannon and water-skiers 3300 ft below Pleasant Mountain....with red sunglasses and striped bikinis ;-).
