...which would give a little over 1 degree with 35mm panoptics
I'd just like to point out that it probably isn't practical to consider EPs like the 35mm Panoptic. That EP has an ouside diameter of about 37mm - so two of them would have a minimum IPD of 74mm and that's with no space between the eyepieces for other things - like a nose. I suspect that's why I've never seen a bino-viewer for 2" eyepieces. I think that would mean that you'd be limited to, say, a 32mm focal length with a Plossl like field of view - the maximum for a 1 1/4" eyepiece.
So, I'd have to agree with Joad, that it's probably not practical to get a binocular-like view out of these.
