Binoseeker
Mostly using spectacles (myopic) with binoculars.
Another star test...indoors...
What can you do inside a house in a short time.....took a ball-bearing ball diameter 14 mm and lay on the floor approximately 10 m from the scope, took a powerful led flashlight with only one led in it, put it on the floor between ball and scope, ca 2m from the ball, activated it and let it shine on the ball. Turned off every other light source in the room, looked at the ball through the scope at 60x.
There were a lot of rings in the airy disk inside focus, nice and centered as it should be. Put the scope outside focus, i could also see a lot of rings but not as clearly, but centered as it should be. Every second ring seemed to have the same color in each airy disk. The center part seemed very small...hard to see.
Tried a magnifying glas, monocular at 5x, binocular at 8x but could not really get a nicer view, maybe i need another tripod and a bin to look at the scope ocular, it seems hard to get a nice view when holding them in my hands. When looking this way, on an unfocused image, through the scope a lot of eye floaters are disturbing the view....
Well, tried to look also at the focused image as suggested by meopta, i didn´t see any rings...how are you supposed to do that test?
Maybe someone on the forum has got the scope and an Iphone+MeoPix iScoping Adapter and could take photos of the airy disks and show us, that would have been nice.....i don´t own any of that stuff so i can´t do it myself....i think there is an app somewhere so you can get timer function taking photo to reduce risk of vibrations....blurry image...
The outer diameter on the rubber eye cup part on top is approx. 48,5 mm. Just below the eye cup, the ocular body outer diameter is 46,2 mm.
