I suggest you try to focus them at night on a bright star cluster, covering each of the objectives in turn with a lens cap, and focusing the other.
You may be amazed at the results.

Thanks very much for the suggestion.
Finding a bright star cluster is going to be difficult at best, as I live in a Bortle 8 area. This summer, I've watched the number of visible stars I can see from my ESE facing balcony, dwindle to a mere 4 over the course of sunset to about 11pm.
I'll give your suggestion a go, though, on what I can see, and try to get it to work, if the clouds will let up.
