BAZ Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Wow, great engineering, but way out of my league. How many bino's do you have to polar align? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan No need for mirrors even for you there Al! That mount is insanely big! Full goto functionality too. A Baz said though gotta polar align first-can't say that about many sets of bins!

catman161 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Very nice. I had a feeling you'd be first to comment Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I had a feeling you'd be first to comment Pete LOL. That is a fantastic bit of kit. Somewhere I saw a website with a home made 12" SCT binocular telescope, it was obviously much more compact and less costly than this one. In the US some companies sell binocular newtonians off the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I know where I am going now if I win the lottery I only have a pair of 10 x 50s. But at least mine are more wide angle than most . They stand me at £30 secondhand. I'd love to have a look through the Markus Ludes set up. Amazing that it was made for a private buyer. Some very rich amateurs out there!

Tweedledee Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Think I've got one of those under the stairs somewhere behind the eyepiece mountain lol LOL. You just need another Ethos, then you can use it as a binocular. I'd like these off eBay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360587243162?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 They come with a free lenspen!!

andyboy1970 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Do you reckon they charge extra for the eyepieces???? A couple of Skywatcher 25mm's will do the trick, free of charge!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
