Collimate your Nikon Venturer II

My first post, hope this helps someone. My second set of these arrived with nice, clear images--out of collimation. Mine are the 8x23 6.3 deg.

So after almost giving up found the solution with ease.
I removed the brown leather grain covering from the left tube. Comes off with a little effort. With the cover off, a tiny hole with a slotted screw at the bottom becomes visible, in line with the left eyepiece. Adjust left or right in tiny increments--problem solved.

If you're careful the covering can be re-used. |:p|

Although it MAY perform as good as 3-axis collimation--and is the information found all over the Internet--you have most likely performed a Conditional Alignment job, only.

If they work for you, that's all that really matters. I just wanted to offer a heads-up.

Cheers, and welcome aboard! :cat:
