I saw a photo of twin D&G 6" f15 scopes from the WSP set up as a binoscope which would give a little over 1 degree with 35mm panoptics. This would be a great planetary/lunar scope with 3D effect. The Maks would be simular. For the cost, weight, I would think a binoviewer would be more practical.
As I have said before, with my 100mm miyauchi I almost always the the 20x eps (2.4*) and rarely use the 37x (1.9*) because the wider FOV is just more enjoyable.
