And for everyone who's wondering about the upside down pictures... Most looking glasses of the time turned the picture upside down due to the construction. I was contemplating if I shold put them in there right side up or not, but went with the weird way.
I was very impressed with your upside down view Jonas. Correcting lenses were notorious for diminishing the light reaching the image as you will know.
You may have noticed that my Captain is equipped with the latest Dolland achromatic lens which allows for the use of an intermediate correcting lens, but of course when you are in the pay of the HEIC you can afford such luxuriousness. Unfortunately the night scope is not so advanced.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
