Hi there,

I’ve just been looking at my telescope - haven’t had a chance to get it out for weeks - and I noticed something odd with the eyepiece. The glasses cap doesn’t seem to twist out far enough. I have to hold my eye well back in order to avoid the dreaded black marks.

I have posted two photos. One is at minimum and the other is the furthest I can twist it out.

Is this normal or should it be twisting out further.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

doesn't look normal - but I don't own a Nikon scope... btw. what is it - classic fieldscope (50, 60, 78 or 82mm), Monarch, EDG or some of the older and cheaper series?

Hi,

well, I have found only one image of a fieldscope EDG with the eyecup of the zoom not fully down... and that looks like yours...

Hopefully one of the owners of an EDG in here can comment...

Thanks that really helpful. Maybe that all it does.
