I might have missed this but was the double vision side to side, or up and down. Mine is both. Its like looking at the two screen during an eye exam. Which does this work for? Or both?
@Organikmechanic22 күн бұрын
Hi, this method will work for both the alignment problems you describe. It is interesting to note that your eyes can compensate, to a certain degree, for the side-to-side misalignment but, up and down compensation is prone to rapidly cause eye fatigue and is less effective. My misalignment was mainly side-to-side but I did correct all of the error(s) I could detect. Good luck with the re-alignment. Cheers, Andy.

I took my first pair of binos apart yesterday to address a fungus on the prisms issue. I did remove the prism plates from the binocular body to better clean the prisms. Note I was not quite so foolish to remove the prisms from the prism plates. HOWEVER, upon attempting to put the prism plates back I "discovered" that the three screws that hold the prism plate down also seem to play some role in the prism plate tilting as there are grub screws next to each main screw which seem to be causing various tilts when tightening up the prism plate. And it seems that the order in which you tighten the screws to put the prism plate back affects the final tilt of the prism plate. Ok fine, so I put everything back together as best I could and then found my alignment was off. This was fixed with an eccentric ring collimation of the main lenses using stars at night. This worked but presently an interesting observation. Turning the right lens did not improve collimation at all. In fact, all if did was cause the star I was using for collimation to either disappear all together or reappear as I turned the lens. Turning the left lens did work well and allowed collimation for a single star image. However, I read somewhere that messing with the prisms for collimation would reduce the image quality. And the incident where turning the right lens caused the star to appear and disappear makes me think the light path of the prism could be really out whack. Am I understanding that wrong? Which lead to the question, how does one properly re-install a prism plate to get the optimal light path (independent of what might happen later if eccentric ring tweaking is needed). Thank you.

I googled about to see what people thought of the technique and saw this about his method : " In addition, the device appears to allow for "collimation" at only one interpupillary distance. Since a truly collimated binocular will be aligned for all distances, the result is not collimation but conditional alignment." Would you agree with it or not and comment if you have the time or desire. Thanks again .
@das2502504 ай бұрын
My first question regarding this topic : I suspect my bino is not collimated as I cannot obtain a perfect sphere when focusing on the planets even when focusing the LHS diopter followed by the RHS focusing ring . However , I'd like to obtain a more dependable 2nd opinion method that confirms I am right before tinkering with it. Do you know of a dependable way to determine this ? Thanks for your videos. I love the DIY way you solved these problems but need to watch a few times over to thoroughly absorb each step.
@Organikmechanic3 ай бұрын
Hi there! Sorry I haven't replied earlier but I've been away. Has this always been the case with your binoculars? I would suggest that you do a star test on them. This is normally only done with telescopes, but I have checked binos the same way. First you need a pin point light source, I use a flashlight with a cover on the lens which has a pin hole in it. Next, you will want to look at this bright pin point of light in a darkened room, ensuring beforehand that the binoculars can focus at that distance, otherwise you may have to make the distance greater by performing this outside at night. With the flashlight on you should see your 'star'. Looking through one eyepiece at your star, slowly change the focus such that you get an unfocused image either side of a sharp, pin point image of the star. Is this image circular? Repeat with the other eyepiece, is the result the same? You can obviously compare the view with that obtained with other binoculars. If you're not getting circular images then there is a more serious problem than just alignment. Good luck, Andy.

I have a Vintage Celestron C8 like yours I just inherited and I think my primary mirror is crooked. There is a tube inside coming out from the primary (I assume for glares) and when I look through the eyepiece hole without the eyepiece I can see in the reflection that it is crooked and the entire reflection seems to be crooked. Is it possible to move the primary mirrors? on a side note I have a Collimating eyepiece I got with it and Trying to use it I am a little confused. So it had a large hole in the side with a 45 degree orange peal style reflector on it. Am I supposed to let light go in the hole?
@Organikmechanic8 ай бұрын
Hi there, have you tried using the 'scope yet to see how good/bad the image is? I would have said that it is very unlikely that the primary mirror has shifted. The tube you can see coming out of the primary is the baffle tube used to cut out stray light from a bright source to the side of the object you are observing. When you look down from the the front end of the telescope, how does the primary/baffle tube look? The collimating device you describe is known as a Cheshire Collimator and there are plenty of articles /videos on how to use one. I've only ever used the film canister technique so am unable yo comment on the Cheshire device. To give as much help as I can, here are some links you may find useful: neffj.people.cofc.edu/WWW/observatory/IntroLabs/celestron_manual.pdf (The owner's manual for a C8) www.cloudynights.com/topic/559380-celestron-orange-tube-1975-c8-cleaning-and-refurbish/ (for a blow-by-blow description of a complete C8 rebuild). www.cloudynights.com/topic/402734-celestron-c8-registry/ (to determine the year of manufacture of your C8) You're very lucky to have inherited this scope, I've had mine for over 25 years and I bought it second hand. I've found out it was manufactured in early 1982. I hope this helps, if you need any more information, get back in touch. Meanwhile, good luck with getting the 'scope back in operation. Cheers, Andy.

I am not understanding how this is fuelless if you have to pre boil the food. And what about spoilage of foods when they go below temperatures considered safe and thus spoiling the food? Even starting raw chicken on low in a crock pot is dangerous due to buildup of toxic bacteria while the start temperature is low. A sealed cooler can retained the heat from the food pot but might not keep it hot enough to be safe. The “danger zone” above 41 degrees and below 135 degrees-a temperature ideal for growing bacteria and toxins. How does this thermal cook box keep food out of the danger zone, especially rice and beans which grow toxins fast. CDC estimates 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases each year in the United States. Also, in the olden days people more often became severely ill or died from food poisoning due to lack of refrigeration and proper cooking temps. I am really interested in this type of cooking but have reservations so help me understand. I am a home canner so familiar with putting up food and safety surrounding that. Would like to use this method on our boat.

Thank you for this video. This is the only source for this information that I was able to find. I had to modify your technique a bit for my binoculars. Rotating the entire bezel certainly did work to temporarily collimate the binoculars, but retightening the bezel and moving the lense into that same position didn't work. I'm guessing it has to do with different thread pitches between the bezel and the lense. So, I simply loosened the spanner ring a little bit, and rotated the lense with a nitrile gloved hand until it was as good as it could get. Then I had to do the same for the other side to get it reasonably good. These 7x50 Binolux binos were only $15, so I'm happy with the result from the home repair. I discovered that my eyes & brain would adjust to the double vision mid job, resulting in having to go back and readjust the collimation a couple more times. And, seeing double was nauseating after awhile. Taking frequent breaks during this job seems reasonable.

As an old bicycle mechanic let me offer these suggestions; *Drill a 1/8” hole through the inner, & outer body of the freewheel. Insert a hardened steel pin (better known as a 1/8” drill bit. For clearance in the frame you may need to cut, or break your drill bit to a shorter length. The drill bit allows you to emulate an electric washer; *pedal forward for five seconds, resting for thirty seconds, pedal backwards for five seconds, rest for thirty seconds. Your clothes will be clean, and you won’t be pedaling for great lengths of time. Remove the steel pin. This will allow freewheeling so you can rinse, and spin dry the clothes.
