Just ask Bill Dankmeyer about it if you are thinking about placing an order. Post Extras:       Tokyo member Reged: 03/15/09 Loc: Palm Coast,FL Re: EarthWin on the way !!!

Bill D is now working on a new and much improved binoviewer system with a hopeful rollout next spring. You heard it here first!

[Re: Fred1]       #4053315 - 09/16/10 11:29 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Fred, I searched the site and have found the figures for the PFS-D which are for E/W unit and Diagonal used with a Binoviewer. The PFS-SE doesn't have the Diagonal attached and the instructions inform you to place the E/W unit INTO your Refractor or SCT and then place the Diagonal into the E/W. I thought this would yield different magnifications as I know a 2X Barlow becomes 3X when placed before the Diagonal.

I called Bill and he directed me to the new site below http://www.earthwinoptical.com/index.html The PFS-DSE is accessed by selecting the middle picture.
