AUDUBON TOP SCORING SPOTTING SCOPE

Testers noted minimal, if any, chromatic aberration, and the Regal’s marks for color and sharpness pushed it to the top of the category. It’s also easy to operate, with nice resistance on the zoom and focus knobs, and our bespectacled guinea pigs lauded the eye relief.

  • ED Objective Lens: Minimizes chromatic aberration, accurate color reproduction, increased resolution and contrast
  • XLT Coatings (Fully Multi-Coated Optics): Proprietary XLT lens coatings maximize light transmission through the optical path for brighter images and increased resolution and contrast
  • Magnesium Alloy Body: This material is strong and durable, but lighter weight than traditional aluminum alloy housings
  • Dual focus: Course focus for rough adjustment and fine focus for detailed adjustment. New quicker focusing mechanism.
  • Rotating tripod mount with detents: Place the orientation of the eyepiece in the best viewing position for application
  • 20-60x Zoom Eyepiece: Adjustable magnification, giving you a wide field of view for general viewing and detailed up close viewing when needed. Twist-up eyecup for correct positioning of the user's eyes for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses.
  • Standard 1.25” eyepiece mount allows a variety of astronomical eyepieces to be used with the spotting scope.
  • T-Adapter ring included for easy 35 mm/DSLR photography.
  • Sliding sunshade with sighting line keeps out stray light and keeps moisture off of the objective lens. Sighting line aids in finding the subject you want to bring into view.
