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.

Hi John,
You guys have some nice equipment with the 3rf organisation that you have access to and get to play with. Ahh ok, cool. Pete is definitely the person to do the modifications.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with the view through a binoscope. Its something I have wondered and been reading up on but its no substitute for real life viewing and scope usage. Life changing views
