Talking 4x focus's on Newt

I'm liking where this is going, I do have a thought but. Would it be possible to have the secondary mirror spin 360 degrees and have 4x focus's each at 90 degrees thus you could have you normal eye pieces in the focuses on the horizontal plane and on the vertical plane (Up & Down) you have your imaging equipment ie. the heavy "stuff" would be on top of the scope, it would also reduce torque on the scope. Have thought about getting a large newt and doing some mods to the tube to enable this. I have google searched it a bit and came up with nothing.

Cheers
