Default Bands of Saturn. How many of them can be counted (really!) with 7" scope?

Using a Binoviewer is not recommended when comparing eyepieces since
there is usually a transmission difference between the two beams. There
is also a marked difference in coloration. There can also be a difference
in the optical quality of the two channels.


What if you were to do a blinded experiment and switch the two eyepieces
halfway through?

You would get interesting results for sure. Someone would have to keep track of
which is which.
