and yes, Bloodhounds mate would appreciate it I'm sure, but how many Huntsman spiders do you know that would be able to afford a set up like that? And he'd be one arm short........
Seriously.... is it just because HE CAN? or is there some scientific/useful reason?

As I recall, that was a joke setup as a result of a long thread on CN related to the maximum number of OTAs people mounted at any one time.

LOL Seen some similar setups over the years. Only because they can. LOL
I'm sure for day to day use they'd remove a few. LOL

No doubt - similar to the "how many barlows/giant EPs/powermates/paracorrs can you stack together?" threads

re scope launcher
Mmmm-Wouldn't want that to tip over!
Looks real-I'd say a wealthy owner did it just for fun and the image.
What is that mount?? a WO ?
Certainly looks good.

From Dougs front on picture, it actually shows good symmetry with OTA placement, would probably be quite well balanced.
