oh! thank you for your suggestion!
I am going to find the original thread and try to understand what a bino box does.

I am stuck regarding alignment and fastening of the 2x 60 Travelscopes.
Alignment and getting 2 congruent images forming 1 image in my brain DOES work. And it really DOES look awesome!
That's the good news.
A damper on these news: I was unable to manually hold the scopes in that position long enough to look for any flaws which might still pop up.

The bad news is that I need some form of clamp to hold them together with rings for 1 scope that work like in a finder scope: with these little bolts for alignment, you know?
Off the shelf there are NO finder scope rings with a max outer diameter of below 70mm, my IDP.
Let alone a clamp to hold them together.
Celestron's famous lack of QA also produced 2 scopes with slightly different locations for their mounting plate. ... go figure...
So at least 1 scope would have to get 100% support from the holding-mechansim.
