Hooray for thread revival!
My grandpa heard I was becoming interested in astronomy and he let me borrow his old binoculars. I've tried a couple of nights to use them but I'm having trouble. I'm not sure if its because they are old, not good enough or whether I'm just not focussing them correctly but I can't seem to get a clear image. It always looks blurry or like the colours are trying to separate out from each other, no matter how much I adjust them. I think I did actually see a moon near jupiter though, so I was still excited!
Anyway they are Tasco brand, fully coated, 7x50 CFCBLEWM. (I have no idea what that big code means
)
I can adjust the diopter on the right eye (hope thats the right word) but there isn't one on the left. And then its called the focussing wheel in the middle I think? Either way I've played with both of these and I'm not having much luck. If anyone has any tips or suggestions, let me know! Thanks!
(And yes I did read the binoculars basic guide which was very good, now I just have to remember it all
)
