Why couldn't a catadioptric or newtonian optical system be used in binoculars?

[QUOTE="OPTIC_NUT, post: 3166585, member: 121951"] I don't believe anyone called for mass-manufacture of big reflector binoculars by Alphas. So....don't worry. It looks like a company or two and a few individuals have successfully overcome technical trouble. It's not impossibly bewildering for hobbyist or manufacturer. The sales would be near nil, though. Other than that, it's a big thingy, and there is no good reason why you can't just stick a binocular viewer on a single mirror. Stereo vision doesn't mean anything after a few hundred yards. except for comparing noise that differs per eye, in the cortex....bino viewers are fine for that. It's been said...you're going through two 'air cells'. Not really, given the field of view. If there's a big difference in the first hundred yards, you're in a place that makes any viewing pointless.
