Very ABSOLUMENT!

Every person who orders one of these absolument Binoscopes gets a free Hernia Truss (as displayed by the operator in the video).

Fabulous instrument!

He has spent thousands making it, thousands on Nagler EP's for it, but can't afford the $20 to buy a shovel to level out the ground he rolls it along

everything is well made by the looks ..even the trolley seems to do the job despite the rough ground .. its still looks though ..the owner is a small step away from doing himself a serious injury through the transportation demo

I thought it was getting quite a rock up and going to topple when he was moving it, nice job though, maybe we could donate a shovel.

He needs to motorize his trolley, or get an observatory. The thought of that thing toppling (onto you) is scary!

At 200kg, wow engineering and design very impressive, what I don't

understand is, he has gone to all this effort and obvious many hours of planning to build it, to then put it on a trolley and wheel it about

Seems to me this size binoscope is just begging to have a permanent home in it's own dome.

But then again you couldn't just haul it on to a trailer, and drag it several hundred meters across the paddock to impress the local star party. Followed up by several hours of physical recovery.

The 'collimation' section of the video was a hoot, luv the brace
