[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 157661, member: 2011"] [ QUOTE ] First, scopes don't gather light, they transmit it, but we know what you were trying to say. [/ QUOTE ] Jeff, The whole light transmitting thing has never been adequately explained to me. The confusing part is that when I look with the naked eye things are pretty dim at dusk or so. While through a good scope, especially on low power, things are definitely brighter. Back in the "old days" everyone including dealers etc. called it 'amplification'. Maybe its just transmitting/concentrating 44 mm (or objective lens size) of light down to what down to what goes into the eye? I really don't know. [/QUOTE]
