Hi Folks as promissed here my personal review and opionion about the big Russian binocular 30 x180-45°

Over the last weekend we have had in germany our biggest Starparty, called ITV ( International Starparty Vogelsberg) to which I went.

At this starparty i have the chance to test and compare more big binos than expected

There have been the follow big binos:

All Myauchis from 60 mm up to the 141 Fluorite
All Fujinons upo to the 25 x 150 ED 45°
Vixen Binoculartelescope 125F/750 for exchangable eyepieces
My Russian 30 x 180 -45° and new 20 x 140 45°
Astromeccanica/Italy Modells: Takahashi FS 102 Bino, BORG 125F/800 Bino, Synta 150F/750 Bino

Let me start with shortest reviewing part: Astromeccanica is a italian company doing high quality big binos with all kind of optics and telescopes using high quality elliptical flatmirrors, 1.25" and 2" precision helicalfocusers , forkmounts from meade LX 200 Goto and hear own forkmounts with slow motion controll.This type of bino have pro and contra. The contra is that the views are something 3-dimensional but you never know is the observered object in front or rear place ( due the mirrorstyled designed). At night time is performs like it should do . The big advantage is exchangable eyepieces, high quality workmanship and 2 handscrews for easy alignment at highest power. I have had no chance to test them at night, since after the italian company arrived it was cloudet , but on daytime you could test already so much to get an good impression.What i saw was so much impressive, that i decited to ship them now diffrent sizes of TMB triplet lenses to build me a few modells. Prices are very low compare to other famous companys. A link to here webside with images and prices and english describtion you find at
www.astromeccanica.it

2 days my Kowa Highlander 32 x 82 with all extra eyepieces, alu case and mount head arrived.

I waiting now for a clear night and I do not want to say to much upfront , but I can tell you all, this Kowa is excactly what I expected to get for that very high price

One simple word : Stunning

more next days
