Okay so I started playing around with this idea last night. I tried to think of anything that I had that had a lens. I finally came up with my old telescope, that doesn't work much worth a crap, I think the lenses got knocked around/off kelter too much.
I pulled a couple of them out and played around with them. It seemed to be going quite well until I finally got in the water this afternoon and then everything went fuzzy.
i decided to try one last thing which I had tried earlier but this time I took the googles completely off. The idea using two lenses could I get the focus to come into tune. Boy, did it ever work and work beautifully. I pretty much know the spacing that I need between the two lenses. I just need now to figure out how much room I have to have between the first lens and my eye.
I will say that it is an exacting science to get the focus right on the money but it does come in and very nicely. I just need to find a source of bigger diameter lenses. Is that possible without the changing the focus of the lens itself? I'm thinking more along the lines of using it probably more as a mask kind of setup rather than as a goggle kind of setup, hence why I want the bigger diameter lens to allow both eyes to look out the same lens.
I'm definitely not an optics brainiac, and I guessing some of what I said above proves the point quite well.
