Abstract
A compact, substantially vibration-free binocular mounting assembly for supporting large binoculars during astronomical observations. The binocular mounting assembly is adapted to be rotated about a horizontal axis during altitude adjustment, with the binocular eyepieces closely following the eye position of a seated astronomical observer as the altitude of observation is varied from horizon to zenith.
