Did something really STOOPID!

Hi,


So I bought a used 22mm Televue Panoptic the other day, and today I get home from work to the package sitting on my dinner table. I tear open the box with anticipation, and sure enough there she was.

A quick check of the lenses showed no signs of any real scratches or marks.
But they were covered in fingerprints so I decided to clean them up with windowcleaner. Anyway the bottom lens needed some attention too, so I proceeded to unscrew the chrome barrel to get to the inside lens better.

Between getting distracted by my wife and dog, I somehow managed to tip the barrel upside down and out came all the lenses and spacers onto my table.

There were: 4 lenses and 4 spacers.

The 2 outside lenses are a no-brainer,
But I'm unsure of the correct configuration of the middle 2 lenses.

Does anyone have any experience in putting the lenses back in the correct order? Any websites showing the optical array as a diagram? I looked for about an hour and couldnt find one diagram on the net.

I am currently without a scope to even test it on, as my 12" scope is a few days away still

Any help is greatly appreciated on reasssembling the lenses.
