Hi,
how can i collimate my ATM / TeleVue Binoviewer. It would be nice to have a short description or an instruction sheet.
Thanks in advance.

From another current thread, this posted just two days a go.
Quote:
At least one binoviewer company has provided an instruction sheet (can't seem to put my hands on it right now) that describes collimation for their binoviewer. It is done at the eyepiece tube, not at the prisms. Directions point to which screws on the eyepiece tube, caution which ones not to turn, describe which one to turn, and the method of adjusting the tube.

Baader Maxbright Binoviewer states:
eyepiece holders with diopter adjustment and LATERAL ADJUSTMENT provision. None of the low price binoculars has this feature – even though it is most important. Lateral adjustment of the eyepiece holders is the optical essential to beeing able at all to precisely collimate the viewer for high magnification work.
Seibert states:
eyepiece holders move in two directions. Side to side and up and down. And I am not aware of any that can adjust one without the other, meaning if you adjust for your up and downward movement, the eyepiece will migrate left to right creating a host of new collimation issues.
"for the record I absolutely, positively reject the idea of user collimation". Harry Seibert
I'm fairly certain Denkmeier has posted similar comments.

Hello EdZ,
quick response from the master himself. 
Are there some scetches available?

It is not working for me either. That is the paper( I was referring to in another ongoing thread) that shows collimation instructions and point to the screws on the eyepiece collets that should be used to collimate the binoviewer. I'm afraid I know of no other source for that document.
