[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2841909, member: 12443"] Actually, it depends on the air quality on that particular day. And air quality can vary from place to place. Certainly on days with high mirage, which takes place on sunny days, less power will offer a clearer picture than a higher power will. A larger objective will help to some degree, as it allows more light to enter the scope, but only to a degree, as when conditions are bad, none of them will perform well regardless of the objective size. In the East, there is a higher humidity factor than in the west for the most part. And moisture in the air will distort the image, and the higher the power the more noticeable it will become. Its one of the reasons most spotting scope makers only offer variable power eyepieces. Again in the East, there will be few days where good clarity will be seen with 40 power, but again a 100 mm objective will be better than an 80. If i were forced to make a choice of just one set of eyepieces for my twin 70 mm spotters i use for glassing, it would be 15 power. [/QUOTE]
