I tried to use them with the Skywindow and the images were shocking.They were very soft and not usable. I tried moving them back from the mirror and it made no difference.I tried allowing the mirror to cool, same again. I found they were best at 10x. Just didn't work for me. -------------------- Glen Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Oberwerk mirror mount GlenM 05/26/08 02:56 PM Re: Oberwerk mirror mount Wes James   05/26/08 03:54 PM Re: Oberwerk mirror mount GlenM   05/26/08 05:52 PM Re: Oberwerk mirror mount Wes James   05/26/08 09:05 PM Re: Oberwerk mirror mount GlenM   05/27/08 03:30 PM Re: Oberwerk mirror mount Joe Lalumia   05/27/08 04:18 PM Extra information 9 registered and 25 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
