Trico Sky Window - Adapter for Low El and Terrestr

I have not posted here before and have no idea if anyone uses the Trico Sky Window or not. I do, and sketch binocular views with a Fuji 16x70 and an OB 8x56. However, my wife and I really enjoy moon rises/sets, low elevation views, and terrestrial stuff, so it drove me to make a simple adapter for the base of the Sky Window to handle things from about minus 15 degrees to positive 30 degrees. If anyone is interested, send me a PM or let me know here and I will post the picture series. If not...that's fine. My design is yours to use if you want it. It is open domain, works, and is cheap to make. The picture shows one view that is minus the binoculars. The black binocular attachment is the standard one that vendors sell to mount larger binoculars; I designed and made what marries it to the Sky Window column.
