Your experience reminds me of the first time I ever used my binoculars. The friend who I’d bought them from dropped them round one evening and I was keen to try them out. However it was dark, and there were very few available targets. I sat on the verandah seaching for something to look at. After a quick glance at a lone streetlight I spotted a slightly unusual patch of light at the house next door. “I wonder what that is?...” I thought and focused on what turned out to be a pane of frosted glass. It soon became obvious that there was movement behind the glass, and after a few more seconds I realised that what I was looking at was the woman next door taking a shower….

Nothing revealing - it was thick frosted glass after all - but it occurred to me that if her husband, or anybody else, happened to appear at that moment, nobody would EVER believe my (true) story that it was all completely innocent and accidental and I was simply trying out some new binoculars..
Maybe you could get something to correct the distortion
