(plastic barrels - one had been knocked a bit sideways, and wasn't seated properly in it's thread) Unscrew em both, then back in, and make sure neither has got cross-threaded. Worth checking out before you try fiddling with collimation screws. -------------------- ED100, OD250L 15x70, 10x50, 7x50 54.7N 2.7W Edited by Sarah88 (08/07/06 01:10 PM) Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on bino accident harryS 08/07/06 09:55 AM Re: bino accident refractory   08/07/06 10:19 AM Re: bino accident EdZ   08/07/06 10:38 AM Re: bino accident Wes James   08/07/06 12:30 PM Re: bino accident Sarah88   08/07/06 01:07 PM Re: bino accident upsguy   08/08/06 01:51 AM Re: bino accident harryS   08/08/06 08:09 AM Re: bino accident harryS   08/08/06 08:24 AM Re: bino accident pcad   08/08/06 10:49 AM Re: bino accident BillC   08/08/06 12:01 PM Re: bino accident upsguy   08/09/06 01:56 AM Re: bino accident DJB   08/09/06 04:03 AM Re: bino accident johnno   08/08/06 12:26 PM Extra information 10 registered and 21 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
