Brian,
Would that be a binocular eyepiece? I use a binocular microscope at work, far easier to resolve what you're seeing than with a monocular eyepiece. I'm surprised that this is not standard in astronomy. Is there a reason for this??
I seem to recall that William Herschell used a 4 foot long refractor but not sure what diameter it was. That must have been pretty awesome looking through your scope and knowing that almost everything you looked at was a new discovery.
Have a good one
Stuart
