I could imagine the views from that, totally mind blowing.

I imagine there would be some "no go" targets, Sirius would cause significant eye damage visually if you tried it without filtering.....

Not really much use visually. Most large scopes aren't much chop visually.

A 31mm Nagler would have a field of 7 minutes of arc with a magnification of 645x with a 3mm exit pupil. Lowest useful magnification around 300X If you could build a 70mm eyepiece. Any eyepiece longer than than and the exit pupil exceeds 7mm.

The 1m f8 would be a little better at 22mins FOV at 250 power with the 31mm Nagler.
