Hi guy's. Nebula observing with Binocular's can be awesome. I have a pair of Fuji 16x70, Orion 20x80 Megaview, and the 22x100 Oberwerk's. Yes, the Fuji's are sharp and bright, but to small. The 20x80's have good nebula performance, but I wanted more. The 22x100's are just about perfect for me. The step up from 20x80's in light grasp is very clear. I do have a pitch black sky site from my deck so I,m sure that help's alot. All of the brighter Nebula out their are very impressive through the Oberwerk's. I have mine mounted on a Heavy duty UniMount on a Bogen 3058 with a lazy boy recliner. By the way, M31 through my Oberwerk's is much more impressive than my 8 inch SCT with a single eyepiece. I just got a Denkmeir Binoviewer for my scopes, so two eye viewing should just get better! Go for it!

I concur with Brian. I best view's I have seen of the Orion Nebula have been with my Oberwerk 20x90mm's. There seems to be a 3d effect compared to the views my Nexstar 5i and my Oberwerk 11x70's give me. Giant binos just give the observer a "wow" feeling at an affordable price.
