My solution to mounting the SM40 on a ZenithStar 80MM and the optical difference is remarkable with the BF10, making the PST look like a 60mm scope vs. a 100mm optically speaking.

Unreal, unreal! I just put my Berges bino in the BF10 using the only pair of bino eps I have a pair of 25mm Meade eps and a barlow to come to focus and this thing popped like I have never seen the Sun. For sure this is the way to go. The surface detail was absolutely beyond anything the PST has done for me. It was almost 3D and I'll have to do a better setup now to allow for balancing the bino as I was only hand holding it in the BF10 to make do. It looked like the promo photos Coronado did in their ads, I mean wow.
