Have an old, really old, like 1940s old, pair of my grandfathers binoculars. The kind with the big collector lenses, I think 7x50. Traced holes for the large end on a piece of cardboard larger than the viewing screen. Fitted the cardboard to the binoculars, covered the one non projecting lens. Then I had an extendable length piece of rod, ( a rod within a rod ) that I attached to the binoculars. Then attached an 8x10 piece of cardboard to the other end of the rod, with white paper for a screen. By using the focus on the binoculars, and varying the length of the rod, I could view larger but dimmer, or smaller but brighter, almost too bright. Worked really well.
