I didn't know that the eyepieces focus independently... Actually, mine (black metal/plastic?) don't seem to move or rotate at all. Maybe they're stuck? I don't want to simply reef on them (!), so perhaps you can tell me how they're supposed to move/adjust? I just use the main focusing rack at present.


Unfortunately, I DO have goofy eyeballs (astigmatism), although at present, as long as my head doesn't move out of position, I can still get a reasonably sharp magnified image with the rack adjuster.

Might there be "wider field" eyepieces for this unit?

And if there are, perhaps the eyepiece magnification could be reduced a bit. At present, the lowest of the two mag settings is usable, but a bit more intense than I might prefer. The high setting seems too be a bit too high.

My model is the "Forty Spencer,"  42-I or 42-L (?)

Thanks!
