Binocular viewer on Newtonian

Hi guys,

I was looking in the latest issue of Sky & Telescope and found an ad from Denkmeier stating that their "Big Easey" viewer will allow all scopes to come to focus. After reading their web page, it has an adaptor (OCS) that seems to increase the light path to allow even a Newtonian to come to focus. Has anyone purchased one or investigated putting one on a Newtonian?

The other reason I am interested is because the OCS may also allow a diagonal to be used as well. A friend of mine is in a wheel chair and I was hoping a diagonal would bring the light away from the tube and down for him to look through. The OCS may give enough focus to allow this to work. Does this seem like a possibility?

Clear skies....one day!
Looking forward to the camp, see you there!
