Houghy, your whole message sounds more like it should be a private conversation to me particularly as it contains what looks like hearsay and second hand gossip...very sensitively handled matey
Actually I sat next to the designer and builder of the binoculars , Bruce Sayre , at the Chinese banquet , so your mates if they were privy to my conversations didn't hear anything that the designer didn't hear....
This instrument like any custom built one will be have a lot more tuning. The implementation of the drive system is excellent and the optics aren't half bad either
I presented photos of it here because its born out of enthusiasm for binocular deep sky observing and human enginuity and a fantastic idea on the part of 3RF and I thought its arrival shouldn't go unnoticed by the wider amateur community.
I didn't present it here to criticise... If the ATMers want to draw out the pros and cons of the design then a thread in the ATM section would be best. This thing is commercial in the sense that it was built for 3RF but you would unlikely be able to buy one.
