I did try that as well as used other EPs but nothing changed.


I assume you mean that the pattern stayed in place, rather than rotating
with the eyepiece, right?

Maybe I'm not reading Andrea right, but I don't see why that should
happen when the star is in the center of the field, and I particularly
don't see why the magnification should matter, if the eyepieces aren't
at fault. Is it possible that the secondary isn't *centered*?
