Hi Everyone
I recently purchased the Celestron SkyMaster 15x70 Binoculars w/Tripod
Adapter. They are avaiable from Amazon with solid reviews
here<http://www.amazon.com/Celestron-SkyMaster-Binoculars-Tripod-Adapter/dp/B00008Y0VN>
.
Upon receiving them, I discovered that I am seeing double vision for objects
at infinity or very far away. For closer objects at around 50-100 feet, my
eyes can focus the two images together, but it is obvious that my eyes are
doing some work to overlap them and the overall view does not appear as a
single circular hole but rather overlapping circles such as
this<http://images.artnet.com/artwork_images%5C112895%5C128090.jpg>
.
It is obvious that I need collimation. I read the article here
<http://www.cloudynights.com/item.php?item_id=416>about adjusting the
prisms. I would like to try adjusting the prisms on my own but am not able
to determine exactly where the collimation screws are. I took a picture of
my binoculars and circled where I believe the collimation screws may be.

Those screws belong to one side of the binocular. Which one of those three
actually tilt the prisms? If those aren't it, where are they then? I know
people owning Celestron's have reported on Amazon as successfully
collimating them, but I'm not sure which screw does what.
Thanks for any help!
Joe
