Not a lot of discussion about eyeglass wearers & older folks that have to glue their eyeball to the objective lens to get a clear view on cheaper SC's. Also for use at the range to see bullet holes at 3-400 yrs .
Is eye relief more for head positioning and the size of the exit pupil the most important for eye glass wearers? The exit pupils at 1.4mm and most eye relief 18-22 mm. 18-22 mm seems too low for eye glass wearers to view at range or for long period of time?

Some dealers say the straight scope has an advantage optically... looking for why. For tracking birds in flight as well as RC gliders I like a straight scope, for shooting obviously a 45 degree angle. And hand holding the scope the straight has the advantage again.

Good day 

Apologies my english (i'm from Montreal Canada: so i'm French Canadian)   

I just bought a spotting scope : PENTAX
My question is this: Can a good spotting scope like this is ok to go outside at temperture of -20 celcius (-4 Fahrenheit) ?  

I hesitated a lot and I'm scare of dammaging my  PENTAX PF-80ED-A or the eyepiece
Papers talk only about hi temperture like in the car in summer.
What about a good canadian cold winter?

  Thank you for your answer.

How is it an 11x33 if it's a 50mm?

Volume is too low. Had to strain to make out what you were saying. Other than that it was informative and well put together.
