Congrats on the Papilio 6.5, I'll bet the low magnification and all the benefits that go along with that make it a joy to use in the daytime (and indoors!). I was thinking of getting one but I really needed at least 18mm eye relief and a smaller body, so I got a roof prism 8x25 instead. -------------------- Patrick 8" f/6 NewStar dobsonian Orion Starblast 4.5" f/4 mini dobsonian 42mm SuperView, 17mm Nagler T4, some other cheapies Omcon 7x50, Oberwerk 11x56, Olympus DPS-R 7x35, Olympus Magellan 8x25 homemade 50mm right-angle bino-scope prototype Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Adjusting focus on right eyepiece Don25 08/10/06 01:06 PM Re: Adjusting focus on right eyepiece EdZ   08/10/06 01:13 PM Re: Adjusting focus on right eyepiece Don25   08/10/06 09:08 PM Re: Adjusting focus on right eyepiece patter1   08/10/06 09:23 PM Re: Adjusting focus on right eyepiece Don25   08/11/06 07:42 AM Extra information 10 registered and 22 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
