It looks like the finder is on backwards too. ;-) That's Big-5's dew prevention orientation -- you must purchase the optional first-surface mirror, which is placed on the ground, to see the faint fuzzies in the sky. What's really a ****er is Big-5 did't have the shoes I wanted to buy in my size (Wilson Court Avenger, size 11); dumb fucquers (apologies for my French :-) Maybe JMI can sue Big-5 for the "look behind" mode implied by Big-5's orientation of their DST (Department Store Trash) reflector which is in conflict with JMI's (presumed patented) bino-telescopes. :-) |
