Mannish was right.
Pros: Cons: Comments:After 3 weeks of terrible seeing, I finally got a break today and was able to put this little scope to the test. I used a Williams Optics bino viewer and was very happy with the results. The images were very crisp and clear showing a lot of detail on the surface and two very nice prominence 's on the limb. I was unsure about my purchase and thought I should have bought the BF10mm model. After consulting with Mannish who informed me if I saw no vignetting in the images around the full disc of the sun (and i was easily able to see the full disc) why bother to spend the extra $200 on the BF10 model. Coronado even said that the BF10 is a better choice for bino viewing. I'm perfectly happy with this model. I'm very happy with Agena Astro and there professionalism.
