Kim: Have you considered the Berry pattern? The Florida telescope collimation tool people mounted a binocular on one, which appeared in an issue of Richard Berry's magazine Telescope Making (defunct). Rather than look that up, you can get the idea from the pictures in the current entry in the neighbor forum just above this one , the DIY forum. See "DIY mount-Altaz1(reflector)", for attractive CAD(?) renderings.

Thanks, Gordon, for pointing me in the direction of the Berry pattern. I have been slow to respond due to traveling.
