Helios LightQuest HR 16x80 on P-mount: take 2

Just added some extra washers for better balance, and checked out daytime viewing with the new big binoculars. They handle beautifully, I must say.

Lovely setup

Very nice rig Michael, the 80mm Lightquest looks & sounds impressive (just had a read of your brief first light thread). I’m jealous of your nice teathered lens caps, the ones on my recently acquired APM 16x70 are about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle 

It’s a bonus that you can get away with it on the monopod, these new magnesium bodied instruments are remarkably light at their given aperture. When I had the 85mm BA8, I tried it out on the monopod/trigger grip combo and it proved way to much for it.
