OK back to the mounting thing....I don't use the gauges....not 
that they are useless....but with a viewer magnifier system, who needs
gauges.....you can ACTIVELY watch the image come in to  correct alignment by
moving the chips.

Suddenly...his chirp became somewhat somber .....as if storm clouds were
approaching, note: heavy orchestral music is playing suspenseful dissonant
yet melliflous tones....in the backround....

>>Jon, I really can't tell correct alignment by this method.  (Do I have a
personal problem or _what_?)  

Music gets palyful and positive for a moment.....
John....you dont have a personal problem.....just as I am not incomparable,
but thanks for the compliment!


Music returns to suspenseful tension....steady now... and
back to that Birdsgotwits on the branch......

>>Seems like any old placement of the chips is OK for my eyes as long as the
window doesn't truncate a body's torso and infinity isn't spaced excessively
more than the viewer ocular spacing.  Then I try to project these
masterpieces of mine and everyone shrieks in pain ('cept for me of course).
 So I mount infinity to the gauge if infinity is in the view and otherwise
I'll mount the most distant homologues to infinity, if I have to 
because of depth limitations.  (Due to yet another clever Steve 
Spicer invention, I can mount to infinity when there is no infinity in the
scene because I have infinity notches in my film gates.  The rest of you, who
do not have notches in your film gates, can't do this.  Neener neneer.
 However, you can measure the perf spacing of a correctly-mounted pair and
that spacing will be the same regardless of whether infinity is in your scene
or not.)

John G....high up on a telephone wire responds....

Mr Birdsgotwits.....it is you that is incomparable....not me,, but I bet I
could show you a few things with a mangnafier mounter ....especially in an
active situation of moving the chips and rotating them....so that you would
see and your eyes would feel the imperfection.  Perhaps a 4x or 6x viewer
would help.  Stay tuned....I am still researching all of this....one bird
feeder at a time.....OK.....   Later Jon Golden
