Wanted to see downtown Houston from my hirise 6 miles away, and could only see a blurry image. Eye piece was not aligned, experimented aligning it, and still could not see the faraway buildings clearly during day time. Had a hard time reading the sign boards. Very uncomfortable eye piece. I regret buying this.
