You need one for your property
We actually have a 22"/F5 binoscope as part of our 3RF equipment. It has a pair of Mark Suchting mirrors in it. It is currently in storage at Peter Reads place awaiting a rebuild, as the structure wasn't quite as stable as it needed to be. Just a little bit jiggly in high wind and lower down in altitude. In still conditions the views were something pretty special. Probably the single best view I've ever had of Omega Centauri, which includes views through dobs to 36" and refractors to 15".

We also have a 12"/F5 Binoscope with a pair of Suchting mirrors, which also gives some very nice views.

Cheers
