I hoped for a few quick scans of the milky way. Boy was I wrong.The bino misscolimated on the first day after a few bumps.I had it secure in a drawer. Is it possible to colimate this bino?.It has a rubber body ant there are no visible colimation adjustments. Does anybody have any colimation experience with this bino. I would aprisiate any info.

I have already anticipated that there will be a lot of glue under the ruber.So the screws are only on the right side of the prism assembly?Im asking this so I dont pool of the ruber from both sides of the binocular to make the least damage possible.
