First attempt at binoviewing
Hi all, I finally bought the andrews binoviewer and a couple superviews. I had a first attempt at it tonight. It achieves focus by simply using a 2x Barlow which surprised me. The views of the moon are unbelievable. Very close ups of crater impact zones that I have never seen with a single EP. Didn't really observe anything else with them. They take a bit of fiddling around with the individual .EP focusers. I can't actually seem to focus on a star so it is pinpoint. Is this usual for a binoviewer or did I not get the focusing spot on?. Also, the way they stick out of the focuser, it would be beneficial to use a diagonal. It would just be a lot more comfortable for me. If I do this, obviously I wil need counterweights which are on their way. Is it too much glass in the chain? I already have a Barlow, the bino prisms and EP's. would adding a diagonal change the image quality. Also, do they compensate so that I will not lose the ability to focus?
