[QUOTE="NDhunter, post: 2971436, member: 74573"] Cosme: Good of you to post this one, and when looking at some of the links, this rig was built by a birder or probably astro viewer from Kansas with ties to the aerospace industry. Just look at the quality of the work, it is done very well. Those are Nikon 60mm fieldscopes, either the FSIII or the ED III, and that is the Wide DS Eyepiece. For 60mm, they give a power of 24, 40 and 60X. There is usually a rubber cover over that so you don't get too close, in normal use. The wide MC eyepiece has a twist up eyecup, and is preferred as it works better with or without eyeglasses. I have had examples of both. With the Nikon ED82, you could go to 75X. They should be mounted securely, and all you have to do is focus each one individually. That gives you the freedom for any diopter correction you may need. I have heard that Steve, Mooreorless, is working on this same type of viewer, as he is halfway there, he is a skilled mechanic, with a machine shop. Jerry [/QUOTE]
