This wide angle binocular is interesting in that it is marked as having a 10 degree field of view.  That would make the apparent FOV about 100 degrees!  Actually the true field of view is about 8 degrees.  The optics are very similar to those of the Celestron Nova 10x50 except that the coatings are not as good.  The view is fairly good at the center but poor at the edge.
