Hi Wes,

I have a set of Vixen BT 125 binos that use interchangeable eyepieces like your BT80. The instruction sheet that is provided with it gives a simple solution to slightly mismatched images at higher magnifications.
Basically, you unlock the collar and rotate either eyepiece until the images merge. Try it while viewing Jupiter as it helps to have a target that is somewhat bright and sharply defined.
It works very well in my Oberwerk BT 100 as well. This should solve your problem unless you have a severe alignment issue with either the prisms or the objectives themselves.

Mike
