Hi Everyone,
I have owned an SN-10 for a while now and have a chance to pick up another SN-10 OTA.I'm thinking about mounting them on a home built alt/as mount to create binoculars similar to the JMI style. I realize I'll need to use diagonals (2") to get the eyepieces in the proper orientation, so I'll have to replace the existing focusers with, I'm thinking, a couple of low profile ones (I could use these to adjust for different eye spacing on people), then diagonals, then another type of focuser before the eyepieces. Now that I've totally screwed up the focal point, I was thinking moving the primaries forward, but then do I need to get bigger secondaries? What if I don't? I really don't want to modify the scopes to such a degree that they're totally unusable on their own.
So my question is, will this work? Or maybe I just back off on some of my medications........ :S
