[Atmob-discuss] Help with binoculars

I had the same problem with my Barska binoculars I
purchased several years ago.

Under the rubber armor there are two small adjustment
screws, one on each occular, which adjusts the tilt of
the prisms in the two different diagonal directions.
To turn the screws you'll need a flat head jeweler's
screwdriver, i.e. the kind of screwdriver used for
adjusting eyeglasses.

I recommend putting the binoculars on a tripod, or
other set up that leave your hands free, aimed at a
star or a distant terrestrial object (such as a light
on top of an antenna tower), and adjust the 2 screws
while looking through the binoculars until the what
you see in each occular is aligned with each other.

If you have 2 such screwdrivers could hold one in each
hand and adjust the 2 screws at the same time while
looking through the binoculars.
