Achromatic 120bt will be as far as I can find it acceptable for me in price .

    Oberwerk has made me obsessed with binoculars, that's for sure!! 😂 I got into astronomy using mounted binos and have owned many brands over the years, but it wasn't until I found that magic blend of quality, price, and (most importantly to me) backing/assurance in Oberwerk that I actually became obsessed with binocular astronomy and learning to use a verify of different instruments during my observing sessions. My astro-arsenal includes a verify of excellent straight-thru Obies, including so far: 6.5x32LW, 8x32SE, 8x42SED, 10x50U, 12x50EDU, 15x70D, 15x70U, & 20x70EDU. I haven't dove into the amazing world of BTs yet, but hope to fix that when the money's not funny...

    This is far from nice , proprietary mount , with a bubble level , im sure its correct , counterweights , give me a break , there are motors around these days that hold big scopes for astrophotography that are that big , absolute wreck of a design , jesus chirst i could make it better . Im sure you are selling those a lot , and im also sure you put in the real nice zoomed in EPs , when only refractors can use big EPs like 40mm for wide field of view , i mean i could make this a ton better . Probably cheaper as well .

      @@plinthley as far as mounts go having a proprietary mount is rubbish , for us users , imagine all telescope mounts having proprietary mount , you like that , i don't and there is no need for me to invent hot water its already on the market , 2nd the motor , even big scopes today do not use counterweights , look it up , if it was cheap i would overlook it , but its not , so its obsolete overpriced mount , mounted incorrectly because tripod is made bad . And as far as Binos go , be my guest use Zoom EP , i don't use them , they lack micro contrast and sharpness again having it without any EP would be better , then user can chose to buy overpriced Zooms or get his own good EPs . This is all simple . If you don't get it and you have money , no problem i will design you a better system . No problem m8.

    I'm interested in both the 120XL and 127XL. Besides having slightly larger objectives, is the optical quality of the 127 better than the 120 ? The 127 offers about 12% more light gathering ability over the 120. I wonder if it's worth the extra $1600. Thanks in advance.

    I love this equipment! Here's my review I left on the Oberwerk website: I purchased the Oberwerk BT-100XL-SD binocular telescope with a Manfrotto 475B tripod and the Manfrotto Nitrotech 608 video head. The Manfrotto components are a perfect match and an absolute must have for this model telescope, they are rock solid. The elevator on the tripod is smooth and stable even when left unlocked conveniently allowing for a lot of use between couples of different heights. The legs have a huge range of adjustment yet fold up very compact. I find that I can even rest my hands on the tripod with barely any movement discernible. The 608 head is super smooth and balanced making panning and scanning through the skies a friction-less and very steady experience. The elevation locking ring is large and easily acquired in the hand, quick and simple to operate. The counterbalance puts the telescope in absolute balance allowing flawless motion to the desired viewing point at any angle with no overshoot or diving. I originally tried a lesser set of tripod components in a misguided effort at economy. That was a mistake, the full performance of the telescope will not be realized without an adequately balanced and flawlessly smooth mount. The Manfrotto components have elevated the performance of this telescope to perfection, I couldn’t be happier with this equipment.

    Hi , Nick from Melbourne Australia , I have one of your older Bt 100-45"s , with the big fork mount, still works perfectly. Just wondering how the new ones are with higher magnification on the planets in terms of chromatic aberration.

    • @oberwerkoptics
      @oberwerkoptics Год назад

      Hi Nick- sorry for the late reply! The older BT-100-45 is an achromat, so the higher you go in magnification, the worse the CA (chromatic aberration) will be. We recommend limiting it to 8mm (75x) for that model. The new XL's use special glass, so CA is greatly-minimized (ED glass), or eliminated (SD glass), and therefore can go higher in magnification without CA becoming a problem.

    • @AAE-cg1il
