I blew the first one I glued, too far out, so it is now pretty much useless.  Fortunately, I have found it so useful, that I already had two more on order and they arrived soon enough. 

Hello Mr. Rick, Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm happy to hear you've had success with the 60x.

Mr. Rick, it's easy to salvage the one you glued too far out. 

Look how I (rather carelessly) ground the clear plastic shroud on the one on the right. I thought it might let more light in, but if you learn to use the 60x correctly, it's unnecessary to modify anything. This should allow you re-focus yours though.

Thanks, Mark.  I thought of doing that and was going to do it, just one of those swamps that needs draining.
