Man... I wasn't aware of that. All this time when my wife said that she
didn't see anything through the scope or when she said what she saw was
just a fuzzy ball (when she joined me watching the sky) I thought it was
because 1) she didn't enjoy watching the sky; 2) she didn't "know" what
to see; and 3) she thought it's a waste of time.  I told her to tweak
the focuser knob to refocus but when she said it didn't help, I didn't
believe her and came to my own wrong conclusion! I owe her an apology  

Okay, now while we're on this subject (though maybe if Off Topic and  I
apologize for that) I need some advice from you guys.  What kind of EP
should I get so that my wife can also enjoy the night sky with me, not
the expensive Nagler or that kinda EP? And does the focal length of the
telescope make any difference?
FYI, she has myopia, and her eyes are -13 she doesn't wear glasses but
she wears soft lens. 
Thanks,
