I have noticed a strange abberation with my Nikon HGL 8x20. Firstly I want to say it's not diffraction spikes- stars are pinpoints are many artificial light sources with 'covers' are as they should be.
The aberration I'm talking about is visible when I look at a street lantern, a type which has a 'naked' bulb visible in lower half, at night. When looking at it there is a narrow 'line' of light starting at the middle(from the bulb) and going both ways horizontally to the sides of FOV.
I find it strange because I only notice this problem with one type of street lantern, its not visible when I look at other light sources. Any comments about this, is it bins flaw?
