    Hi, Sadly you are now a member of the altair finderscope dissatisfied club. I too have no problems with any optical pieces except this. i am currently awaiting to see if anyone can give me a detailed explanation as to how to turn over the etched reticle to cure the problem. Watch this thread to see maybe if it is of any help to you. All the best

    Hi, I have been reading all about the focusing problems with the Altair Astre 10 x 60 illuminated finder. I have always had the same problem and just accepted either having the crosshairs or infinity out of focus. I like the solution of reversion the etched reticle but am nervous about doing it. Would anybody be prepared to give a more detailed description of how to do it. I have studied the comparison picture given by one member but do not quite see what has been done. Thanks for reading, i

    I have asked Altair for a replacement EP and am at present waiting for a response. Your comments are appreciated.

    Thanks for all your inputs.In a nutshell when the crosshairs are finely focused the eye piece is just slightly out. there is no more travel left. There seems to be no way around this. I think i am going to ask Altair to send me a replacement EP and take it from there.

    Hi Mark, thanks for your advice. I did try this last night but alas it made no difference. I have been offered a refund but weirdly i still think that despite this irritating problem i will hang on to it. That is not to say i would not like to hear of a solution,because at £170 it should be perfect ! Thanks, Rob

    Thanks for that,seeing the crosshairs double is a good point and taking the retaining ring out makes me nervous, but i would like to get to the bottom of it.Altair responded to my question as i have only just purchased it but they just state obvious which is not working. I get the impression from correspondance that they think i don'know how to work it,which i do. Still, any ideas i would love to hear.

    HI, I have a real problem with my Altair astro 10 x 60 finderscope in that i cannot focus the illuminated crosshairs and also focus on infinity at the same time. A previous member mentioned reversing the crosshairs but i cannot find this thread. Could anyone help me with this by maybe advising another solution or more details on how to flip the crosshairs ? thanks

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for help and after reading answers throgh  several times it would appear sub giant was right. The 3 smaller screws make the adjustments and the 3 large screws lock it in place when all is correct.

    Although it seems easy now i do wish manufacturers wouls give clearer instructions and not just assume you know exactly what your doing with their product. ok i am also a little short on logical reasoning sometimes.

     

    Thanks for help   Rob

    HI ,

    Thanks for reply.The small 3 grubscrews i have adjusted and distant object now centered but on this polarscope which IS fitted externally i am beink told to adjust a further 6 or 3 screws.My worry is,if i adjust the 3 smaller screws the screws might end up just falling inside the casing. i suppose you  really have to have the polarscope in front of you as it seems to need calibrating in a different way to others ( which i have done with no problem ) I still appreciate the help i am getting so please let me know if you think you may have the answer.
