I'd probably set the two scopes up just lile a set of binocs with a pivot
point to do the IPD adjustment.  The angle change isn't big enough to
really worry about unless you put the pivot between the scopes as opposed
to at the top of the scope diameters.  I'd use some allthread to do the
actual movement of the IPD adjustment so that it stays in one place. Bob
