July 22nd 2010 Net Topic - Binoculars

[NotAMog]

The net topic for tomorrow night will be binoculars. Most of us carry binoculars in our rigs but may not know much about features and selecting binoculars for specific purposes. I plan to cover many of the things to consider when selecting a pair of binoculars and how to tell if a pair of used binoculars you may be considering are in proper alignment.

Here are some web sites which provide useful information on specific uses for binoculars -
