New 12" F5 Binocular under construction

Theres not a lot of ATM'ing going on around here so I'm posting a picture of progress my friend Paul Shopis is making on his 12" F5 binocular to raise discussion ( Hes not into typing so I'm raising this thread on his behalf ) .

Pictured is the now finished top end. 99% reflective star diagonals go into the focussers and the cages rotate to adjust for your eye spacing. With the 40% contrast increase and greater acuity a true binocular gives, this one should give an 18" monocular a run, but with a much more human hi fidelity two eyed experience and wider field than 18" too.
