Another thought is that some people have a great deal of trouble holding them steady at night...I know because I am one of them, even low power 7X35 are difficult for me to hold steady enough.

I'm thinking it is the lens cover she never took off. : ) We will see what she has when she gets there. if anyone does want to help, come join us. If not, Don, William and I will figure it out, now that you made me more confident about it. It works or it doesn't. Ok, i can handle that. Thanks for the input.

In the old DOS days, I supported a network that had the backup drive in the administrator's workstation. She complained that the backup wasn't working but whenever I checked it seemed fine. I stopped in at the end of the day to watch her load/start the process, which she did perfectly correctly and then.... turned off the machine! Definitely didn't work that way.

Does she see glass at 4 separate places on the binocs (two ocular, 2 objective). Even if the binocs are out of collimation - images (double) still should be visible. If the lens caps have been removed and she cannot see anything - I doubt we can help.
