After being physically stunned by the images I saw at Lostock from Mark Suchting's dual-12" binocular telescope design, I have just gotten off the phone from him after ordering two of his matched DSO 12" f/5 mirrors. I can't wait to start co-designing the motor-driven co-collimated mirror cells and truss system with him. Mark has some very exciting ideas that we will no doubt spend hours discussing over the next few weeks. He will be building a dual 14" unit and hopes to be able to bring it to the South Pacific star party coming up. I hope that more people take the time to look through one of these units - as they have changed my view of the starts dramatically.
If you have made your own set of bino's - maybe you wouldn't mind imparting me some advice? There are so many designs that have been successfully built, it's staggering..... !
What a fun project this is going to be
