I just recently acquired my first scope after a long period of hesitation because, in part, I know that I hate using one eye to take pictures through a view finder on a camera and I suspected that I would have no fun trying to watch birds that way. Well, so far, I have mixed feelings about the one eye experience with my new scope, but then I find out about "bino-viewers" for telescopes and I am completely shocked that I hadn't heard of them before. I know that there aren't a lot of scopes that can be made to take non-proprietary eyepieces, but among those that can, why isn't this 'mod' standard practice? I genuinely want to know because I expect I will be doing some heavy forum research over the next week to fit some binoviewers to my Nikon Monarch scope.
Thanks for any insights, and, if you have tried a scope with bino viewers and/or know of a configuration that works well I would love to read (and see?) all about it.
