I don't think it's anything to overly worry about , as that's what I was told , by someone who knows their stuff , when I first noticed the phenomenon , more than six years ago . I just place a saucer under mine , to prevent the leaks from dampening the carpet ! :-) Kenny -------------------- If everyone is thinking the same thing , no-one is thinking - General George S.Patton Zeiss 7 x 42 BGAT Captain's Helmsman 7 x 50 Nikon 10 x 42 Superior E Swift Audubon Kestrel 10 x 50 Helios 15 x 70 Observation Strathspey 20 x 90 Televue 76 APO Zeiss 85 Diascope Helios 102 f5 refractor Various eyepieces barlows tripods mounts etc. Panasonic Lumix DMC - TZ5 digital camera Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Prism leakage concerns charen 07/01/08 02:28 AM Re: Prism leakage concerns KennyJ   07/01/08 03:29 AM Re: Prism leakage concerns DJB   07/01/08 04:28 AM Re: Prism leakage concerns ronharper   07/01/08 10:26 AM Re: Prism leakage concerns KennyJ   07/01/08 05:39 PM Re: Prism leakage concerns DJB   07/02/08 05:38 AM Re: Prism leakage concerns ronharper   07/02/08 11:18 AM Re: Prism leakage concerns KennyJ   07/02/08 12:43 PM Re: Prism leakage concerns GlennLeDrew   07/02/08 07:05 PM Re: Prism leakage concerns charen   07/02/08 11:28 PM Re: Prism leakage concerns ronharper   07/03/08 11:51 AM Extra information 6 registered and 9 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
