    Kowa TSN-663

    663 scope is great for its size and quality. Regarding the eyepiece, I suggest you go with the 30x W.

    Fossil of 'first giant' dinosaur discovered in Argentina, by Helen Briggs, BBC news (July 10, 2018). Bird Paleontology -- not really. But still an interesting popular science news story.

    Vixen SG 2.1x42

    I just went outside and spent a few minutes with my Vixen SG 2.1x42 Wide-Angle Binocular. First focusing upon Mars—the great pumpkin. And then enjoying the fishhook of Scorpio. Very nice. I also made out a few jewels in the Sagittarius/Scorpio region. These binoculars also make interesting...

    Newbie - Manfrotto question

    With an angled spotting scope, you may want to first consider a lightweight tripod. Looks like you identified your location as Wisconsin, U.S. You may want to contact Vortex Optics customer service, Barneveld, Wisconsin; or B&H Photo, New York. Hope this helps.

    Twilight Viewing

    Thanks for the optical research links. Twilight observing, as well as heavily shaded forest environments, present many opportunities for nature observers. Important to grab-n-go with the right optics from our shelf for these low light times.

    Finding out what you like - What matters?

    Nice opening post for this interesting thread. The optics always get the ink in this type of thread, which is sad because "number 6: Ease of use" can--and should--dominate optics. Ease of use is sometimes referred to as "convenience". But whatever you call it--ease of use or convenience or...

    Twilight Viewing

    Has Tricky001 made any progress with observation of hedgehogs in his garden? I made an earlier post suggesting he might have a go at twilight observing with a 7x50. But after noticing this thread is part of the Leica forum, I deleted my earlier post -- not meaning to horn into the Leica users...

    Nikon SE vs Everything.

    I enjoy using my Nikon SE 8x32 binoculars. I also have a pair of Nikon SE 12x50 that I carry to the field, usually with a monopod, for nature viewing and night sky observing.

    Help needed with DIY Finnstick

    I enjoy reading about your work with the DIY Finstick. For myself, I use a monopod with a rotatable head. Not as stable as a 3-legged tripod, but does have the convenience of easy to grab and go and carry in the field.
