venus in binos
      #177577 - 08/22/04 11:16 AM

I woke up early to take a look at venus.When viewing venus I would get a light ball about the size of venus on it or right next to it while I was trying to view it.I am viewing it with oberwerk 22x100 binos.Although I could see the crescent shaped venus the ball of light made it awful hard to observe venus.....Any help would be much appreciated........newbie

Collimation? Internal reflections?

Sounds a lot like what I had in my 20x80. Turns out the images overlapped. Due to other problems as well, I had to send it back to Kevin. The one I have now works like a charm!
