"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." -- Rom. 8:28
I got my hands on a pair of Skywatcher 150mm (shade less than 6") f/5 refractors years ago. I made a binocular with them, on a mount of my own design. Relatively low power/wide field, I get about 20x to 120x with them. I have about $3K in the setup.
I've read about binoculars used by fire control on ships, and seen pictures of BIG (or what I considered BIG) binoculars for astronomical use that required tripods, but they were only the size of the first section nearest the eyepiece on this set. Supposedly when used in astronomy binoculars gave a more three-dimensional look to the moon and planets.
