Turns on but cannot see anything
Hello, there could be a number of problems but 90% of the problems with these
Russian manufactured monoculars, binoculars, scopes is the the image intensifier
tube. First they are cheaply made, they don't taken much abuse, and if any
bright light such as, street lights, car lights, turn on the NV monoculars
during the day light hours could and would total damage these Russian
manufactured tubes.I hate to tell you but there is a good possibility
that the image intensifier tube is bad, sorry. Night Owl Optic and many other US
companies use cheap Russian manufactured night vision devise to sell; of course,
they make a huge profit on these NV devises. There are a lot of
countries in the world that manufacture NV monoculars and other NV devises. Some
are good and most are just slap together.If you want a good night vision
monocular be prepared to pay top $$$ for them.Made in the USA, Europe,
England, and even in China.List it on eBay as Night Vision Monocular and
under condition: broken for parts.I wish you luck. GB...stewbison
My gun lets the air out of the bottle, empty in less than a minute. even if the bottle is well tight, the compressed air comes out. what can I do?
It sounds like there may be a problem with the valve or seal in your compressed air gun. Here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:
- Check the valve: Make sure that the valve in your compressed air gun is not stuck in the open position. Sometimes debris can get lodged in the valve, preventing it from closing properly. Remove the air gun from the bottle and check the valve for any signs of damage or debris. If necessary, clean the valve with a soft-bristled brush or compressed air.
- Replace the seal: The seal in your compressed air gun may have become worn or damaged, causing air to leak out. Try replacing the seal to see if that solves the problem. You can usually find replacement seals online or at a hardware store.
- Tighten the connection: Make sure that the connection between your compressed air gun and the bottle is tight. If the connection is loose, air can leak out even if the valve and seal are working properly. Check to see if the threads on the bottle or air gun are damaged or worn, and replace if necessary.
If none of these solutions work, you may need to replace your compressed air gun or seek professional assistance to diagnose and repair the issue.

I have a NexStar 90GT with no hand control, a replacement will cost $135, is it worth it to buy for this telescope?
Whether or not it's worth it to buy a replacement hand control for your NexStar 90GT telescope depends on a few factors:
- How often do you use the telescope? If you use it frequently and rely on the hand control to find objects in the sky, then it may be worth it to invest in a replacement.
- How important is the hand control to your observing experience? If you're comfortable manually finding objects in the sky and don't necessarily need the hand control, then it may not be worth the expense.
- Can you find a cheaper alternative to the official replacement? Sometimes, third-party sellers may offer hand controls that are compatible with your telescope at a lower price.
Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether the cost of the replacement hand control is worth it based on your individual needs and preferences.

No zoom function on a kalimar power zoom scope,
larry389's so-called solution is not a solution... just an opinion to which each individual is entitled... even when not correct! I've used a Zeika Opt. Co. Power Zoom Binocular No.25361 for over 25 years since inheriting them from my father who purchased them in early 1970. To say the least, treated carefully and with respect for the delicate instrument that they are, they've been wonderful and still work perfectly fine. Perhaps Larry's experience is based upon handling them like junk and, therefore, reaping what he has sewn.

Eyepiece assembly bushnell telescope
You never told us what model number or telescope TYPE you own. Is this a refractor or a reflector. ???
If a REFRACTOR usually you have a diagonal, the diagonal goes into the focuser and then the eyepiece goes into the diagonal.
On a REFLECTOR the eyepiece goes directly into the focuser.
