[sac-forum] Re: On Binoculars and Mounts

Darrell,

We never got around to discussing the binocular mount because everyone was 
deeply involved in their own project at the time.  As a starting point we 
looked at Beevo's mount, which he has since sold on EBay.  There are no 
mechanical drawings for it, but he posted some good pictures on EBay.  I don't 
remember the listing number but it's still there.  I have a couple these pix 
and will send them to you this afternoon.  Gotta go now.

  Sure is great to hear the reports from the Antenna site.  Sorry I missed it.

   

  Well, I've lately acquired a couple more binoculars and find myself badly in 
need of a better mount.  The tripod will be easy, but I'm wondering whether to 
go parallelogram or straight up.

   

  Anyway, wasn't the group meeting at Paul Lind's house fabricating such a 
device (or am I mistaken)?  If so, are you guys working from a set of plans 
that has been published or is available electronically?   I'd be very 
interested in seeing what's involved.

   

  By the way, I can see what all the fuss is about when going to 15x70s.  Easy 
to go from living room to observing and with great backyard views!

   

  Thanks!
