Floaters - new website simulator
Agreed 100%, my floaters are insanely excessive against snow or blue
sky, but with a binoviewer they barely bother me. I do see them, and I do need to scoot one off the spot of interest now and then. I am well past the distress of their onset and effects in the eyepiece. I really cant stand one eyed viewing after binoviewing so long, unless it's low power widefields. No binoviewer and I think I'd hang up my hat on planetary/lunar/solar. |

I don't think I'll be able to stand the sight of a wet Kleenex anymore... :-) |

I find floaters are more of a nusance in small exit pupils. Of course, you can increase exit pupil at high powers by going with a larger aperture scope. But, I certainly agree. My binoviewer will be the last thing to go. I find that for wide field, I'd rather sacrifice aperture for a shorter focal length with the binoviewer, than go with a 2" eyepiece in a longer focal length, larger aperture. |
