    cool thing. And great to name the sketch.

    Guess what I thought you sketched? A space shuttle breaking apart.

    Great details, Robert! Your binocular designs are intriguing. Do you mount them on a tracker when sketching?

    Thanks! No I don't own a tracking mount, just bumping it along.100x is a little annoying but not too bad. In binoculars you see more detail at lower mag so that helps.
