To SNO-T users: I finally found and fixed both problems with my inverting scope which I mentioned several times on this list! The objective lens in my scope was for some reasons reversed when the scope arrived. Putting it in correct way removed both the "coma" and focusing problem. Now I really see how excellent the optics is:-) It is indeed superior of my 8x30 prismatic binocular, contrary to what I said before. Alex.
