[ATM] Periscope Newtonians

http://www.dfmengineering.com/articulated_relay_eyepiece.html

Shows a very interesting articulated relay system for handicapped viewers.

My question is:  Can we 'periscope' the image coming off the secondary
diagonal to a point just aft the primary?

If I could achieve having the eyepiece placement in parallel with the tube
and aft the primary, and if I did it with both of my Meade 114NT

910mm f/8 scopes, I could marry them side by side and have a binoscope.

This is why I am investigating  off axis Newtonians (difficult) or
"Periscope" Newtonians.

(I like the sound of it.)
