Because of a problem with my eyesight, I am unable to use binoculars or bino viewers, but it occurred to me a while ago that you could put different eps in either side, and quickly change from low to high power by switching sides. I have also seen a binoviewer being used with a webcam in one side and an ep in the other.

What a great idear :shock: why do we use flip mirrors, this must be a better answer. orion

Orion,

I think Steve outlined the problems behind the idea, each eye would get only half the light. Would be OK on the Moon and maybe the brighter planets but thats about it.
