altazimuth mount with binoculars
      06/28/08 12:12 PM

Not sure if this belongs here or in the mount forum, so my apologies.

I wanted to know if one can use binoculars on an altazimuth mount. I am planning on getting the AT Voyager mount for a small scope, but I would also like to know if I can use my binoculars with it (Garret 10x50). The Voyager accepts vixen dovetails. I looked into the Vixen website and they have some equipment to attach binoculars to the portamount...but it is close to $100. It is a bit more money than I want to spend. I appreciate any suggestions on other things that I could use. Also, your impressions on the ease of use of an alt mount with binoculars.
