Re: merging issues .

Hi Mark,

what i have done is use an even paper shim to try to centre the eyepieces in the adapter, that should centre them fairly well.
there is a noticeable offset if you simply put the eyepiece in without any packing and just tighten the adapter setscrew.
i suppose ideally a custom machined adapter with friction fit for the eyepiece would ensure perfect centring.
