About this model
Additional parts to convert two Plastic Fantastic V2 - telescopes to a true binoscope! You can find the original, single tube design at: www.thingiverse.com/thing:7305904 You will likely need to adjust the length of the bits that attach optical tubes together to tailor them for your mount of choice. Make sure you can also adjust the height of the entire assembly to get a comfortable viewing point for any altitude. In addition, you will need two 1.25" diagonal mirrors to turn the light path. The main difference in the OTA's are primary mirror cages that can slide in the aluminum extrusions to fine tune focus point and replacement kit to adjust interpupillary distance without a rotating focuser - Otherwise they are identical to V2.
