Signs my prescription is off?

[pipnina]

Not sure if this is just typical of the MK-I eyeballs but when I look at bright stars through my bins or just my naked eyes, I can never get the stars to become just one point source, they always split slightly in two and it's really annoying me.

I was wondering if this might be a result of my glasses prescription being slightly off. Anyone here know why this might be?

I don't wear glasses, but my right eye gives me double vision when I'm tired. The left eye is fine.

I've seen thousands of binary stars this way haha!

If you are even slightly worried about your eyes, it is probably a good idea to go to see an optician - get an opinion from an expert.

With the bins, it might be collimation. With the eyes, I should get a check up from the neck up,

Don't take any chances with your vision,

Nick.

Funny that - I've been getting similar sypmtoms recently - it looks like the diffraction spikes that happen on an image through a newtonian. Yet I have no spider in my eyes lol. Guess I'll go get them checked again as well.

I think everyone has that, probably to do with our iris' unevenness on the edge of the aperture stop.
