Eric,
The hardest part has been to get a photo of what the Red LED
looks like shining on the fibre optic.
I've tried our family digital compact..on all settings , no luck getting
a good , focused close-up.
As for the modifications,
it was well worth the effort. The drift that others have mentioned
when hovering over the eyepiece is very minimal.
I'm not sure if that is a result of the optical arrangement of my
eyepiece elements compared to what you found in yours, or
if it is just a case of it minimised when both objective and crosshairs
are in good focus.
In hindsight, I think an additional LED at 90 degrees away from the first
one would be even better or even 180 degrees.
When only one shines on both fibres at the 1:30 clock position, the
shadow side of the other fibre facets are dark.
But overall, I still think it makes quite a good, cheap finder even better.
regards,
Steve B.
