Amazing piece of kit. Unfortunately, I do not have a battleship to go with it

[Demonperformer]

I would, but unfortunately they say they won't post to the UK

 

[Steve Ward]

On the East coast so just nip over in person and pick 'em up ... lol

[Demonperformer]

Would be cheaper than the purchase price.

[Pete Presland]

WOW, they are HUGE!

[Peter Drew]

I built a privately owned 205mm refracting binocular telescope, so not the World's largest . I'm sure I've seen even larger on <bigbinoculars.com>

I was camped next to these bad boys at Kelling Heath in the spring. The owner had just had them made.

Hi Rob ,

Took a stroll down to see those on Saturday with Peter Drew but everyone was down the pub and they were all sheeted up so never got to see them in the flesh ... 

[Peter Drew]

Good to meet you there Steve, I went back down again on Sunday morning and had a long chat with the owner. Excellent workmanship all round but undermounted in my opinion, I'll take my 8" F6 reflecting binoscope next year for a head to head.  

[Steve Ward]

Pleasure was all mine sir , glad you got to see them and I look forward to seeing your 8"ers next time ...

Without wishing to hijack the thread, would it be possible to see some pictures and a write up of your binoscope, Peter?
