binocular questionPosted By Binoscope Company |
Randy,
Your question was forwarded to me by Herb York. In a short answer, it's not that simple as placing a pair of 45 degree diagonals together. You won't wind up with a left for left, right for right image. Your 83mm F/6 achromats need 2" focusers to avoid vignetting. There is no other way of merging the images without providing for IPD, Axial, Alt & Azimuth adjustments. If you are missing anyone of these adjustments, you cannot merge the images. Unfortunately it's very expensive to do just 83mm objectives. Most of my customers opt for 125mm objectives to justify the cost of the EMS backs I sell. If you want to see a pair of sucessfully completed Megrez 80mm Binoscope, goto
