To reachable a "bino-scope" you have two possibilities: you adjust the interocular distance with optical elements or you
change the distance of the both telescope tubes. If you will get the maximum optical power, the best way is to use the
EMS elements form Matsumoto (deliverable from
Astro-Hutech) and adjustable telescope
tubes.
The BB-140 unit shown inc. additional mounting rings for Borg® tube
|
The bino-platform BB-140 is made for smaller refractors about 3 - 4" and offer adjustable distance of the both tubes between
115 mm to 145 mm (4,5" to 5,7"). This solution is design for use with the Meade® fork mount for 8" SCT's. See also
Hutech's blog, our US partner . To make
the mechanical structure as rigid as possible, we use high precision ball cage linear-bearing's from
Agathon to realize best linear adjustability.

An important point is to keep both tubes parallel otherwise you get a double image. The adjustability of the distance of
both tubes (interocular distance) is with a easy to use hand-wheel at side. The platform works perfect with Borg 71FL, 77ED,
89Ed or 90FL tubes or similar products of coarse.
The platform permitted easy and stable adjustment of the both tubes and can use on standard photographic tripods as well as
at Alt/Az mounts or very unique at german equatorial mounts (with EQ holder).
