Double scopesPosted By Robert Howe |
Hi all
One sees binoviewers, which split a single image from a telescope--say a 5 inch refractor--to both eyes. One sees binoculars, which place two tiny telescopes, say 30 or 40 mm each, one to each eye.
Why not take these observations a step farther and make a super-sized binocular, with (say) a pair of 75 or 85 mm refractors, one to each eye, on a common mount? Has anyone designed such a scope and mount assembly? Any experience on this list?
