Just curious. Does anyone market a bracket for mounting two Orion 80mm ST together? Has anyone done that and if so what was your experience?

Are you thinking in terms of Binoculars?? I think there will be problems with the Interpupillary distance...

That would be hard enough to arrange (collimation, interpupillary distance adjustment), that it's not very practical. Especially with binoculars (and even binocular telescopes) in this aperture range so reasonably priced today.
