Re: Vixen BT80M bino collimation help needed

Thanks for the reply, John- and Mike as well. I tried rotating the eyepieces last night- and did it, as a matter of fact while looking at Jupiter! The moons provided a good target. It didn't really help- however the eyepieces I'm using are matches Sieberts... and, assuming they really are closely matched, might not make much difference being rotated- I don't know. Simply speculation on my part. However- I did find- this afternoon- instructions on these bino's online, and they have collimation instructions- so will have to have a closer look and see what they say. Should be able to correct the problem with them, thank goodness! Thanks for the replies, guys-
