a couple of members from the NAS were up there and enjoyed the hospitality of the texans. their inital impression of the scope was dubious and from what they said the views were spectacular when collimated - then when moved they were severely out of collimation and then another couple of hours to redo the collimation, the mirrors dewed up very quickly. It was passed on to me via these guys that the conversation that you had during the chinese meal was interesting, especially when the texans asked you what you thought of the binos? Mark - if they were redesigned with the frame do you think they will work?
