Swarovski STS 65 HD w/20x-60x

It is at moments like these that you find out whether you are properly equipped. Wherever you are with Swarovski Optik, the natural world becomes ever more amazing. The Swarovski STS 65 HD observation telescope sets the highest standards among telescopes in this category. The STS 65 HD is more compact and lighter than scopes in the 80mm class, providing better portability in the field.

The use of fluorite HD lenses virtually eliminates colour fringing (chromatic aberration) for contrast-rich images. As a result, significant improvements in resolution and contrast are achieved when compared to conventional grades of glass. This is the best option for perfect image fidelity when digiscoping or for demanding visual observations.

The 20-60x eyepiece provides variable magnification and achieves luminous, diamond-bright images with edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire magnification range. This configuration is very good for all birding situations – it enables both scanning of the terrain and bird identification in razor-sharp detail. It is the most popular option for general nature observation.

Note: If you intend to use your scope for digiscoping, the Swarovski STS 65 HD with 25-50x wide eyepiece is preferable. This eyepiece provides a wide apparent field of view and minimizes vignetting when used for digiscoping.

The non-stick effect of the SWAROCLEAN coating on the outer surface of the lens makes cleaning objective and eyepiece lenses considerably easier, above all when removing dried-on mineral residues (e.g. water marks due to condensation), insect repellents and tree resin. The lenses require less intensive cleaning which significantly increases the longevity of optical products.

Swarovski STS 80 HD 20-60x80mm Spotting Scope

It is at moments like these that you find out whether you are properly equipped. Wherever you are with Swarovski Optik, the natural world becomes ever more amazing. The Swarovski STS 80 HD observation telescope sets the highest standards among telescopes in this category. The STS 80 HD lets through more light than scopes in the 65mm class, providing better views in low-light environments, along with a comparatively wider field of view.

The use of fluorite HD lenses virtually eliminates colour fringing (chromatic aberration) for contrast-rich images. As a result, significant improvements in resolution and contrast are achieved when compared to conventional grades of glass. This is the best option for perfect image fidelity when digiscoping or for demanding visual observations.

The angled version is recommended for observing in comfort whether your target is on the ground, in trees or in awkward positions such as high above in the sky.

Clarity right up to the edge - SWAROVISION Field Flattener

This type of image definition has never been achieved before in any other spotting scope, thanks to the field flattener lenses creating a virtually flat image. Even the finest structures are reproduced with razor-sharp clarity right up to the edge with no need for constant refocusing.

The result: every detail is instantly captured, producing a perfect image without any distortions.

Maximum contrast - Including HD optics

A highly innovative optics design combined with fluoride- containing HD lenses minimise interfering colour fringing. This enables maximum
colour fidelity and leads to a significant improvement in resolution and contrast.

The result: an even more lifelike, contrast-rich image.

A complete view - Large field of view and high zoom range

Nothing escapes you. Thanks to their wide field of view, the ATX/STX spotting scopes provide you with a broader, more exciting platform for your viewing experience.

In spite of their high zoom range, the new generation of spotting scopes offers a large field of view. This allows you to achieve optimum magnification and detail recognition and also makes it extremely easy for you to search for and find objects, especially if they are in motion.

Eye relief plus - Large field of view even for spectacle wearers

SWAROVISION features a long eye relief and the removable twist-in eyecup is individually adjustable.

The result: even spectacle wearers can enjoy a large field of view, not to mention the inimitable edge sharpness. An additional eyecup has been specially developed for spectacle wearers to further increase viewing comfort.

Maximum colour fidelity - Optimised coatings

The enhanced lens and prism coatings (SWARODUR & SWAROTOP) give noticeably better colour reproduction combined with even greater transmission. SWAROCLEAN coatings on the outer lens surfaces create a non-stick effect, making it easier to clean.

The result: even more impressive observing experiences, even in low light.

Ingenious System

The new modular design offers previously unimagined flexibility and you are free to choose the perfect solution as the situation dictates. In collaboration with experts we have developed digiscoping adapters that open up a new realm of ways in which to observe and share the most beautiful moments.

Perfectly designed down to the smallest detail making you equipped for any situation.

Just one hand

When every second counts. Imagine a plover flitting over the shore one minute and taking off into the sky the next. The ATX/STX spotting scopes ensure that you are prepared for moments like this. This is because the new position of the zoom ring, which is now directly behind the focusing ring, makes it easier to handle. It means that you can zoom and focus with one hand, while steering the spotting scopes direction with the other.

This completely new ergonomic design offers a crucial benefit for digiscopers in particular. They can now use the camera quickly, easily and accurately with one hand, while the other concentrates on zoom and focus.

Easy to transport

Not a gram too heavy for top optical performance. Size and weight is the name of the game for all those who like to travel or spend long days in the field. The ATX/STX series means that bulky spotting scopes that are difficult to pack and heavy to carry are a thing of the past.

The modular design enables you to store the objective and eyepiece modules separately and the smaller dimensions also mean that you can easily and safely store individual modules in your luggage.

Clarity right up to the edge - SWAROVISION Field Flattener

This type of image definition has never been achieved before in any other spotting scope, thanks to the field flattener lenses creating a virtually flat image. Even the finest structures are reproduced with razor-sharp clarity right up to the edge with no need for constant refocusing.

The result: every detail is instantly captured, producing a perfect image without any distortions.

A highly innovative optics design combined with fluoride- containing HD lenses minimise interfering colour fringing. This enables maximum
colour fidelity and leads to a significant improvement in resolution and contrast.

The result: an even more lifelike, contrast-rich image.

A complete view - Large field of view and high zoom range

Nothing escapes you. Thanks to their wide field of view, the ATX/STX spotting scopes provide you with a broader, more exciting platform for your viewing experience.

In spite of their high zoom range, the new generation of spotting scopes offers a large field of view. This allows you to achieve optimum magnification and detail recognition and also makes it extremely easy for you to search for and find objects, especially if they are in motion.

Eye relief plus - Large field of view even for spectacle wearers

SWAROVISION features a long eye relief and the removable twist-in eyecup is individually adjustable.

The result: even spectacle wearers can enjoy a large field of view, not to mention the inimitable edge sharpness. An additional eyecup has been specially developed for spectacle wearers to further increase viewing comfort.

Maximum colour fidelity - Optimised coatings

The enhanced lens and prism coatings (SWARODUR & SWAROTOP) give noticeably better colour reproduction combined with even greater transmission. SWAROCLEAN coatings on the outer lens surfaces create a non-stick effect, making it easier to clean.

The result: even more impressive observing experiences, even in low light.

Ingenious System

The new modular design offers previously unimagined flexibility and you are free to choose the perfect solution as the situation dictates. In collaboration with experts we have developed digiscoping adapters that open up a new realm of ways in which to observe and share the most beautiful moments.

Perfectly designed down to the smallest detail making you equipped for any situation.

Just one hand

When every second counts. Imagine a plover flitting over the shore one minute and taking off into the sky the next. The ATX/STX spotting scopes ensure that you are prepared for moments like this. This is because the new position of the zoom ring, which is now directly behind the focusing ring, makes it easier to handle. It means that you can zoom and focus with one hand, while steering the spotting scopes direction with the other.

This completely new ergonomic design offers a crucial benefit for digiscopers in particular. They can now use the camera quickly, easily and accurately with one hand, while the other concentrates on zoom and focus.

Easy to transport

Not a gram too heavy for top optical performance. Size and weight is the name of the game for all those who like to travel or spend long days in the field. The ATX/STX series means that bulky spotting scopes that are difficult to pack and heavy to carry are a thing of the past.

The modular design enables you to store the objective and eyepiece modules separately and the smaller dimensions also mean that you can easily and safely store individual modules in your luggage.

Clarity right up to the edge - SWAROVISION Field Flattener

This type of image definition has never been achieved before in any other spotting scope, thanks to the field flattener lenses creating a virtually flat image. Even the finest structures are reproduced with razor-sharp clarity right up to the edge with no need for constant refocusing.

The result: every detail is instantly captured, producing a perfect image without any distortions.
