I had the optics in a truss ota that I built from an old chip heater.

The "poles" were from an old caravan annex.

I had it mounted in a fork mount with a 6 foot polar disk.

The views were very good probably due to the relatively long focal length.
I understand the scope was built originally for a solar observation for Major Paton of the Dutch East India Company... still who knows.
I understand the optics are rated very highly.
