Hello,

Well, I finally got the last coat of varnish on the wood for my binocular mount and assembled it today – here it is! It was originally designed for the Vixen 30x125’s so in terms of size of timber used, it is a little over engineered for our 12x50’s which it will now be used for.

The bino head is an old alt-az head I obtained a long time ago, to be used with a small telescope, but its movement were too jerky for the higher magnifications used with even an 80mm refractor. For the x12 bino’s the motions are smooth enough due to the wider field.

I built the tripod (an old project from a few years ago) for my Vixen GP mount so I modified the head and will now use it for the bino mount.

Cheers

Dennis
