That's exactly what I do:-) And this is a nuisance.

I also have an SNO-T, but I am far-sighted.
Do you have the Kepler (=day, Sun inverting) scope standard for SNO-T ?
I always use THAT scope.
It seems to me so far superior to the Galileo SNO-T and to all
other Galileo scopes, and actually to all other scopes I ever tried
that I always use it, except in the cases (form a small boat when there are
waves, when I use no scope at all.

I suppose that it permits adjustment for any kind of eyes,
though I cannot try, because I have only one set of eyes.

Alex.
