Bino Refractors

A while back whilst perusing the TNR website I notice the availability of a two TOA-130's configured in Bino, not the first time I have seen this configuration. The Astromeccanica (Italian)website had a similar setup using 5" Vixen scopes.

I guess this post belongs in the Refractor or Bino sections but I would be interested to know if Art @ TNR actually ever sold one of the TOA-130 Bino setups and how well it would have performed. I wonder if you have more options with varying magnification compared to using Fujinon 150 Binoculars. Would be a great setup for comet catchers.

Yes we have sold a pair of the TOA-130's to big binoculars. com The long back focus allowed the telescopes to be used without the necessity to cut the tube shorter.

The results must be stunning.
