Big Binocular Universe: Oberwerk BT-127XL-SD Featured in Astronomy Magazine
The February 2025 edition of Astronomy Magazine has spotlighted the Oberwerk BT-127XL-SD binocular, hailing it as a game-changer for stargazing enthusiasts. Renowned astroimager Tony Hallas praises this 5-inch apochromatic triplet binocular for delivering telescope-level views with the immersive experience of binocular vision.
Crafted with uncompromising quality, the BT-127XL-SD features FCD 100 and FK-61 glass objectives, fully multi-coated optics, and interchangeable eyepieces. Hallas notes that their lightweight yet durable magnesium alloy construction makes them as portable as they are powerful.
“Everything about this binocular reflects fine workmanship,” Hallas writes, highlighting its ability to transport observers to stunning celestial sights, from the depths of Andromeda to the star clouds of Sagittarius.
With unparalleled optics, customizable magnification options, and compatibility with premium mounts, the BT-127XL-SD offers a unique, fatigue-free viewing experience. As Hallas puts it, “Oberwerk has created something that dreams are made of.”
Our favorite quote is this:
“The bottom line, then, is that the point of these binoculars isn’t to see the closest, most detailed view of a celestial object, but rather to see a unique view using both eyes at once. Which brings up an important fact: Using both yes eliminates eye fatigue. I have spent many years looking through telescopes with apertures as large as 24 inches with only one eye. After a while spent staring at an object, my eye got tired; the more I looked, the less I saw. With both eyes, I can look as long as I want. And in this case, the more you look, the more you see“
