Re: binoviewing televue 85 .
The main trick is to assure that you have enough focus travel to accommodate the optical path. Also since the TeleVue 85 is relatively fast you may need a compensator to remove spurious color and take care of any deficiencies in focus travel. Some folks use barlows for the latter. I use the Baader glass path compensators.

Re: binoviewing televue 85 .
As long as the inter pupillary distance of your eyes is within the range the binoviewer accommodates that's the first issue. If you already manage binoculars well there should be no other problems.messier 111 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 9:29 pm some have already said that it was tricky also with the vision of things.

Re: binoviewing televue 85 .
It's like looking into giant binos.
like the apm 100mm ed.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

If your plan is to use 24mm Panotics or 32mm Plossls or any eyepiece that maxes out the field stop of a 1.25" eyepiece (approx 27mm), then you want to make sure that the binoviewer you select has a clear
My TSA-102 (230mm backfocus) and APM-152 (175mm backfocus) both are binoviewer friendly so do not need an OCA when binoviewing (APM just barely makes it). I have the Baader MaxBright-II binoviewer and find it quite excellent. I previously had the William Optics binoviewer and it was no where near as ergonomically pleasant plus it vignetted with 32 Plossls or 24 Pans as its clear
