Bino Hack

Hi all,

I have just completed a small refractor so I can do some viewing while up in the Flinders Ranges. I hacked an old pair of Binoculars (12x50's) and made it into an Ocular, only difference is I removed the prism part and put a 1 1/4" R&P focuser on it to accept my EP's. So far look good, yet to do a star test on them, but the sun looks good. I have now painted it flat black on the inside so have to wait for paint to dry before getting some pics. Good thing about it is if the main lens gets damaged or scratched, I always have another to replace it.
