Sort of like automating a camera to look for & find 4 leaf clovers..<g>

My point was to attack the bino collimation problem from
the other end, i.e. provide an easy to use visual reference
to aline the 2 images. Another way is to view the 2 exit
pupils with a telescope of large enough aperture to view both
exit pupils, collimation errors are obvious as 
double images. Commercial bino collimators work this way.
