SCHWARZ150S-BINO
In December time has come to test my improved bino under the alpine sky at temperatures down
to minus 15/20 degrees.
Dear Mr Matsumoto let me tell You my summary experience: The Schwarz Bino works simply
fantastic. I discovered a new night sky compared to my old 26x100 Miyauchi. Only a few examples
under 6,0 mag conditions:
- The Orion nebula at 30x like in good photos with undescribable details
- The E and F components of Trapezium no problem at 90x
- The Flaming Tree Nebula with dark strunk and branches at 30x
- Open clusters M 35, M 37 and others like bee swarms at 30x
- The neighbour cluster of M 35 NGC 2158 at 60x at the beginning of resolution with averted vision
- Eps Lyr already split at 90X under good seeing conditions
- M 81 with dark lanes at 60x
- NGC 891 with central bulge easy with direct vision at 60x
Though I know the bino is a richfield instrument, I had stunning views to Saturn.
Using a fringe filter I saw at 150x the planet with six moons, the Cassinidivision roundabout
an equatorial stripe and a brown south polar region.
Dear Mr Matsumoto, let me finally say: Though I had to do some (in my opinion necessary) improvements,
it was absolutely worth to wait for and acquire Your new Schwarz Bino. It opened me a new
dimension of binoviewing.
Thank You once more for Your efforts.
Best regards
Klaus Zott
