You know, I will never ever know what it's like to view one of these.
I have one eye!
Discrimination? (hehe)

Can they make an eyepiece that puts the 2 signals together? (Maybe it's just called a Telescope, ahaha)

Don't worry Marcel, you won't be getting a binocular telescope unless you can build your own (various designs are published) or can shell out a lot of money for one of these:-

Drool!

Settle for a 10" reflector on a dobsonian base for now.

(Then buy a second and build a binocular mount - making a "binonewt" - for them! )

I was also fortunate enough to spend time looking through this Bino Newt. at Coona and I must say, the views of Omega Centauri and Eta Carinae were nothing short of spectacular!

If you ever get the chance to look through them, do yourself a favour and do it.
