Hi, I've been using Binoscopes since 2014.

 

I love binoviewing very much.

 

I use one bino, three binoscopes

 

and one mono scope with binoviewer.

 

I often have some issues, though.

 

Very often I have to refocus slightly.

 

And horizontal merging is an issue to.

 

Recently I have the thoght,

 

that my early adolescence pop art 3 D picture training

 

messed up my stable focus

 

and natural horizontal merging skills.

 

At least, in the BV horizontal merging usually can't be adjusted, so I'm forced to accept the definded position (though my brain tries to look slightly "below", when ever possible)

 

How can I fix this?

 

Looks, like my 3D image trained eyes/ brain always want to look "below" or "in front"

 

and can't keep a crisp image at one defined position.

 

If you have any strategies to address these issues,

 

I'd be very glad to know.

 

No ophtalmologist in the area can help at all in this field...

 

Thanks,

 

Sal

I don't have any.........but the attached link...........has the ability to align/merge the two views........doesn't it?

Do you not have any like that?

Yeah, sounds like alignment/collimation sensitivity. Have you tried normal binoculars?

People's eyes react in strange ways to binoviewing.  I know people who can't look through a binocular microscope and fuse the image.  I don't like roof-prism binoculars and only feel really comfortable using porro prism models.  Vision can be a problem.  Try tilting your head more foreward or backward when looking through the binos.  See if that impacts it.

Ok Sal, 

this will be difficult to accept. But for proper views of the celestial bodies you have to go outside with the scope. Your ceiling is not permeable enough for the radiation grin.gif . j/k

Sorry can't help with your problem, but only know that some people have a pronounced mono viewing capability, even hindering them using a bino

I love binoviewing.

 

Really enjoy.

 

Just as mentioned:

 

Slightly blur cause defocus cause accomodation n merging instability.

 

BTW mono similar difficult finding focus.

 

Blur not dramatic, just not crisp sharp

 

so fiddel a lot with focuser.

 

Any training method for accomodation stability?

 

Thanks,

 

Sal

is there any ophtalmologist in the forum, who could help? That would be great!
