Swarovski 80mm Spotting Scope Body

The ATS/STS 80 observation telescopes set the highest standards among telescopes in this category. Even with the easy-to-handle fully rubberized armouring, the ATA/STS 80 are by far the lightest of the larger observation telescopes. Thanks to a recalculated optical system, they offer a precise observation of detail, optimum edge-to-edge images and almost 100 per cent colour fidelity with an extremely wide field of view, thereby achieving a revolutionary image quality.

Product Advantages

Optics

• New external coating for lenses which makes it considerably easier to clean objective- and ocular lenses. Thanks to improved cleaning the lenses need less intensive attention to achieve maximum clarity. This considerably increases the longevity of optical products.
• Extremely high-quality optical system for totally natural colour reproduction and precision observation of detail, even when light conditions are poor

Weight

• Very light weight for ATS 80 of only 1300 g/45.9 oz (1350 g/47.6 oz) and for STS of only 1280 g/45.2 oz (1330 g/46.9 oz). By far the lightest of the larger observation telescopes.

Focusing

• Extremely short close focusing down to only 16 ft
  (5 m).
• Easy-grip ergonomically positioned focusing ring with larger grooves for quick and precise focusing.

Usability

• Removable aid for quick target pick-up.
• Integrate objective lens protection. Stops glare and diffused light as well as protecting against rain and snow. Lock mechanism in ultimate extended position: cannot move on its own and silent to handle.
• Automatic safeguard against accidental unscrewing of the eyepieces.
• Full field of view even for spectacle wearers due to individually adjustable twist-in eyecups.
• Fast and easy mounting on Swarovski tripods without additional plate (standardised foot). Fits also all Tripods with 1/4" and 3/8" threads.
