The ATS/STS 80 (HD) observation telescopes set the highest standards among telescopes in this category. Even with the easy-to-handle fully rubberized armouring, the ATA/STS 80 (HD) 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.
OPTICS
New Easy To Clean coating 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
HD (High Definition) instruments helps to eradicate the slightest chromatic zonal aberrations and contributes to a more faithful colour image.
WEIGHT
Very light weight for ATS 80 (HD) of only 1300 g/45.9 oz (1350 g/47.6 oz) and for STS (HD) 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.
Tilting tripod ring (ATS 65/ATS 65 HD models only) for setting to preferred observation position.
Fast and easy mounting on Swarovski tripods without additional plate (standardised foot). Fits also all Tripods with 1/4" and 3/8" threads.
Large and easy-to-operate focusing ring even with gloves on.
Easily removable lens cap.
Compact and fits easily in hand-luggage.
ROBUSTNESS
Extremely light, but very sturdy light alloy housing.
The fully rubberised armouring for shock absorption and noise reduction is easy to handle even in cold weather.
Internal focusing for dustproof and watertight qualities (up to a depth of 13 ft or 4 m).
Full objective lens protection and objective lens thread for screw-in filters.
