Could soeome please check to see what the shortest distance is that the parallax will focus down to? Thank you very much.

The first time I used it, it ceased to function. The erector tube wasn't properly secured possibly. It will not give elevation or left-right adjustments. It just sits. If you want a recommendation, look somewhere else. I won't be buying Simmons products again. You may have to go to their web site for that answer under the product specs.

Hi! Not sure of the exact add u speak of, but there is no parallax adjustment. The canted knob towards the back is the illuminated scope adjustment(Red/Green) . Not sure what type of birdies you sending down range, or how far, but I'm using this on a Stag Model 6, 75 grain .223 at 700yrd. No need for Parallax ajustment. I always have a clear image, never any distortion...This has been at day, and at night. This is beyond a good or great buy for your money! Its a steal!! Been prarie dog shooting with it. Love it!!

Focus wise it can be as close as less than 6 feet for my eyes (I think it depends on viewer's eyesight). However, the real problem is the images from two eyes don't over lap very well when the object is this close. If you want to observe something that close, Pentax Papilio is designed for that purpose and has very good reputation.

Hey Edward, no it does not show distance at all. Just a simple but pretty good monocular; good to 50 yds with ease; great price.

It says Macro in its name, so it should be able to focus on short distance. However for better performance use reduction. 36mm worked good for me - like microscope

just like with higher end reflex optics there is parallax at close range like to 15 feet but at distance, things you would be targeting with a rifle, it is zero parallax. you can move your head all around and the reticle does not move off target.

Bad one. Should just work smoothly. You should not notice it - except having to focus manually. ;)

Hello I'm not a expert but the telescope collimation might be off. The focus assembly could have a problem. Hope this helps.

I assume you are asking about the orion scope vs the celestron scope? I've no experience with the orion st, there's a comparison on cloudy nights' user forum. There is a lot of info there. I beive that is where I found a write up on what to expect from various size optics and focal lengths. I'm still happy with the astromaster. It has pretty good optics, but as many people have pointed out, the mount is a little flimsy.

Yes, if the eye focus is adjusted correctly for you and the parallax is all the the way down on it' s lowest setting, it will focus down to 10 yards and up to infinity.

The minimum focus distance is 0.15m. At that distance the magnification should be at least 1:1.

None at all on my M- it is a bit slow in the focus- but when I combined it with a short loupe to act as a viewfinder it became handy. Mine works perfectly except for the focussing time. VRR

I just tried close focus and it didn't focus closer than 2 ft where the field of view is about 3 quarters wide.

Assuming you mean the Milky Way, here's a good article : http://www.lonelyspeck.com/lenses-for-milky-way-photography/ and it shows you the field of view you can expect with the lens.

I thought that would matter. It doesn't unless you are doing landscapes. Anything within a hundred feet will be in 3D and be noticeable.Even objects 200-300 feet away are in distinct planes with each eye having them in a slightly different position. The lenses are "toed" in with convergence at about 7-8 feet which makes distant objects also in 3D. Like a brownie instant shot camera for 3D. Better 3D than "The Man of Steel" which is fake 3D. Use the wide angle only for best results.

Try a 9mm,, 4mm is even better. I can see 4 of jupiter's moons pretty clearly when focused.

The eyepiece doe adjust for focus. It has a really fine adjustment, so you can get it very clear. Optics are very good for a scope in this price range. I'm not sure of what you want to know about the parallax. I set mine up on my .22 Mag and just sighted in as normal. Everything worked fine.
