正立ミラーシステム(EMS)を開発した松本龍郎のサイト。 たった2回の反射で天体望遠鏡の像を正立像にします。
Tatsuro Matsumoto; Inventor of the EMS, Erecting Mirror System. EMS offers non reversed upright image with no additional undesirable abberations.
This little binoscope is light in weight and small in size which makes it very transportable and usefull for quick observations. The basis is a set of FS60-CB telescopes with 2″ attachment. They were converted with a CSV tube to obtain 22 mm more backfocus. A set of 2″ EMS-UL was used to allow maximum field with minimum backfocus. Together with the new special EWV-adaptor, instead of the eyepiece barrel, backfocus is reduced another 18 mm. The EWV-32 mm eyepiece can now be used to obtain a magnificent 7.7 degree field at 11x power.
To have IPD adjustment the FS60 telesopes are mounted on double Lineair Translation Stage and Track from Edmund Scientific which fits very convenient to the mounting plate of a standard Vixen Forkmount. With the EMS 1-1/4″ adaptor Pentax SMC eyepieces are Parfocal with the EWV-32mm eyepiece. When a 3.5 mm Pentax SMC eyepiece is used with the FS60-EMS binoscope it shows crisp binoviews of Jupiter and the Moon at a stunning 101x power.
___________________ Addition:
Since the CSV tube is not available anymore I guess it should be possible to obain enough backfocus for the EMV 32 mm eyepiece with a shorter version of the EWV-adaptor.

Mr. Alexnander van Lemel has made his second binoscope, FS60-BINO, successfully after making his first one of TSA102-BINO
I would like to give him a biggest applause on his feat of building two binoscopes using my EMS, conquring the limitted information, and especially the language barrier. The only communicative language tool was English which was foreign language for each other.
I am also very appreciative of his generousity for allowing his full name and the link of his e-mail address appearing on his article. That will greatly help foreign guys especially in Netherlands who have the aspiration to build binoscopes someday.
TOA 125倍では、木星は衛星まで含めて約1/3の視野に収まっています。木星の縞模様がはっきりと確認できました。M13では、無数の星つぶを立体的にとらえていました。環状星雲M57は、リング状のはっきりとした輪が確認できました。12cmF5に比べ、星以外の宇宙ががどこまでも暗く、暗黒の空間を感じました。
