Focused on one bright star, I'm getting three images. The central one is brighter but there is one above & one below. Treied it withanother bright star with same result. Can this be corrected?
The problem could be a vitreal spartion in your eye. Whe looing at a bright star does the images appaer to remain in place when you twist your head around the eyepiece. Do others see the same thing???
If they do then it sounds like a cracked element. This can occur in the eyepiece if the scope has ever been turned to the sun.
Change the eyepiece and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't then a chipped or cracked primary or secondary is suspect.
Good Luck
