Roland,
I just made a quick snapshot. The top left picture shows the mirror mount in parts. The blueish plate is an aluminum cover over the mirror. The mount can be used on a tripod or on any table. The observer looks down into the binoculars just like when using a microscope. This position does not change with changing object altitudes. Only the mirror angle needs to be adjusted, not the binoculars. The mount is capable of showing the sky from horizon to zenith while the observer does not have to change his head.
Handy people can build such a mount themselves. Mine came from Trico Machine Corporation. Its completely made from aluminum, very compact and transportable. Trico offers 3 mirror qualities, with powers up to x20.
