SkyScout & Binoculars finally working together
      07/01/09 05:48 AM Attachment (58 downloads)

As promised a long time ago, here is an image of my SkyScout mounted ontop of my binoculars via a Far-Point Bino mount which in turn sits on my old parallelogram set up. Works quite well. My Bins offer over 5o FOV which allows for a fair amount of adjustment on initial set up. Still working to get a more accurate aligment process but it's better than I thought it would be. Overall 8/10 on the satisfaction front.
Picked out one or two DSO' s such as M57, M27 without any difficulty. A neat portable solution for a quick observing sessions.
