Oberwerk 100mm Binocular Telescopes from OpticsPlanet.com
Amateur astronomers have been asking for this for years, and it's finally here- a special version of the Oberwerk Astronomy Binocular with
1.25" non-rotating helical focusers! Just like the Oberwerk 25/40x100mm Astronomy Binoculars,
 broadband multi- coatings (non-reflective green/purple) are used throughout, including on the massive porro prisms. Two matched pairs of
fully multi-coated wide-angle eyepieces are included- 24.43mm (25x) and 10mm (62x). And because the helical focusers are a non-proprietary 1.25" design, your favorite 1.25" eyepieces can be used as well. The eyepieces do not rotate when focusing- a feature found only on high-end helical focusers. The rest of the Oberwerk 100mm Binoculars Telescope, including the semi-apochromatic triplet objectives, is the same proven design as found in the original
Oberwerk 25/40x100mm
binocular, but the cast aluminum body has a beautiful automotive-quality champagne finish, giving it a more
 contemporary look.

How far can you see with Oberwerk binoculars
"How far can we see through this binoculars?" is the most common
question that we at OpticsPlanet.com get asked by the beginner binocular lovers,
and our answer is always short and honest - you can see through your binoculars
as far as you can see with your naked eye, but when you use a pair of
binoculars, the objects that you see will appear larger / closer according to
the binocular
magnification which is normally the first number in binocular designation -
for example 8x, 10x, or even 25x, 40x or 65x for something like very large like
Oberwerk Observation binoculars
Here are some images from Oberwerk.com to help
you realize the power of Oberwerk 25/40x100mm Binoculars used for
Terrestrial Viewing. The Jamestown water tower (bellow) was photographed at a
distance of exactly one mile. From this location, Oberwerk observed the
water tower with Oberwerk 25/40x100mm Giant Binoculars.
The field of view was noted at both 25x and 40x magnification. The observed
image for each level of magnification is represented below. Note: Even at this
distance, the actual image in the binoculars was sharper and more defined than
the digital photographs that are shown below.
