I received a very bad comment on it.

"Forget it. Its performance is really really bad. I once used it in XingLong just to discover that it had very low contrast and poor color correction.

Needless to say it gave me a very bad experience in star gazing. Only few stars were observable inside the binocular despite its 5 inch aperture. I soon realized that it is the special coating and poor prism that contribute to its incompetence. ( I mean in astro-usage. )

This is not difficult to understand - the first priority in military item is robust, not comfortable and charm in viewing."

--------------------
Where are the stars now? Where would I have to go in order to see them?

I walk forth into this fractured world, yet my thoughts were forever of the sky.
