Next time try to move further or closer to eyepiece - the telescope exit pupil should coincide with the iris of your eye, both in size and distance from eyepiece

What is the f number of your mirror?
Hi Bojan
Thanks for the info. I did notice that I can really have a good look around inside the 40mm eyepiece.

The mirror is an F5

Thanks
Mick
