l have been looking at getting a set of large binos like the 45 degree BT100's but with a better mounting arrangement so l came up with this which can also double as a wide field camera mount, a modified set of LX50 fork arms.
l made a set of internal hubs to attach the new mounting plate which will be drilled to multi fit binos and camera. finished photos to come soon.
I do not know if the binoculars fit between the arms of the mount, but it would be better if the centre of gravity of binoculars coincides with the Dec
axis.
Anyway, a big gotorized binocular sound very well...

G'Day Mick,
Looking good m8,excuse my ignorance,will you be able to use a hand held paddle to move around the sky? and what type of tripod will you be using.
Cheers
Arthur
yes Arthur, it is fully operational through a hand controller same as an LX 200 but without the go-to operation although it does of course have setting circles. it will be mounted on a wedge and home made pier.
