Finally got my bino's

Hi All

Finally got my new bino's, im not going to even touch the zoom side of it as the image just gets too small to look at so im keeping them as a 25 x 80 set.

I have looked through them today and with terrestrial viewing the image seems very clear.

Im still not quite sure how to check to make sure the collimation is ok after shipping so i followed this website http://www.oberwerk.com/support/collimate.htm

Im still not sure im doing it right, i moved my eyes back 4 inches from the bino's and each lens seems to make the images line up but who knows, maybe i will just wait for a clear night and try them out on a bright star and hope i dont see double.

Even if i could tell if they were out id have no idea hw to adjust the screws or which ones to turn lol

P.S any tips on achiving the correct focus using the centre wheel and the diopter adjustment would also be greatly appreciated
