What is Twilight Factor?
The factor that has the greatest impact on resolution or image detail, will be dependent upon the amount of light available during the time of observation. During daylight hours, when your eye pupil size will be only about 2 to 3mm, magnification will be the principal factor in image resolution. At night, with the eye pupil dilated to 6 to 8mm, aperture size is the controlling factor. In twilight conditions both of these factors control resolution effectiveness and the twilight factor is the term that compares binocular performance under these conditions. The twilight factor is calculated by taking the square root of the product of the magnification and the aperture. The higher the twilight factor, the better the resolution of the binocular when observing under dim light conditions. For example, a 10 X 40 (twilight factor 20) would effectively resolve better under these conditions than a 7 X 35 (twilight factor 15.4) even though the 10 X 40 has a smaller exit pupil. Remember, however, that the twilight factor does not take into account the transmittance or quality of the optical system.

The scope is very sharp and bright at the lowest magnification 15X,right through the highest 45X. It is light weight and small enough to easily carry all day.
I was looking at a pine tree about 100 yards away and at full power 45X I could easily make out detail on individual pine cones. If you are looking for a good scope where you need a lot of detail, such as birding you won't be disappointed.
I purchased a "cheaper" scope for under $200 that had higher magnification and a larger lens,80mm,and was so disappointed by the poor image quality that I returned it for this one. The old saying "you get what you pay for" definitely applies here. Spend he extra $100, get the Loupold (one of the best names in scopes), and you can pass it on to your kids some day.
