binocular holder

I am not sure of the name but I build a holder for my 35 x 70
binoculars. I got the design online several years ago and built the
holder and used a high quality mirror. This is one of those deals
where you place the holder on a table and look at the reflection
through the mirror. My problem is that the binocular cannot focus. I
have it focused all the way out but things I see are not sharp. They
do go from totally fuzzy to much better, but not sharp. What is the
proper distance that the end of the binocular should be from the
mirror? the distance I have now is 10". I can easily add length to
this thing. I am pretty certain I followed the directions but
apparently I did something wrong.

There was a time when i had 20/40 vision in
one eye and 20/50 vision in the other. This
caused me a focus problem with binoculars.
If your problem turns out to be similar, there
is probably a set of binoculars that will focus
for each eye independently. They could be
pretty expensive, though, so like me, you
might be better off with a telescope.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Tender is my love for thee
Oh star so close at hand,
Warming those so dear to me
As we play on the sand...

It's so easy to believe
In all this beachin' fun,
That some day you and we will be--
Altogether one.

I had a set of binoculars with a focus adjustment for each eye. They
can't be that uncommon.
