I don't think so but I'm sure Phil Lardner would build you one!
Strangely, I was up at Cloon with my NexStar 8 just last night along with Paul Tipper and Phil Lardner, first time for a month or so. Great night of observing, especially Jupiter and the GRS.
Personally, I love binocular observing (four pairs now!). It's easy, fun and relaxing. Good to hear imaging hasn't completely taken you over!

Are they for sale? I'd take that off someone's hands for a mutually agreeable price!

Another example Gordon - I cannot remember the last time I observed thru my 8" - its dedicated to imaging. But I dig out the binos when I want to lay back and take it all in. I'm not sure what that says about me!

Quite right Gordon - I think it would very depressing just to image or do science. In fact I sometimes even dispense with the binoculars just get it back into full perspective
Now, Phil, if you're reading and you finished the Stevick-Paul... Give me a shout!
Jared - now I'm intrigued! Good luck trawling through those 25000 posts :shock:
Cheers
Dave

Dave - I try and keep my hand in when I can - believe it or not! Though getting a second scope it is beyond me so its naked eye or the Bresser binos!
