Skyline ED 20-60x80 (Straight) Spotting Scope
Impressive in low light.
When spotting the smallest field mark means success, the best spotting scope you can buy really pays for its keep. In the grey light of early dawn, you'll want the 80mm Skyline ED with naturally true, vivid colors and exceptional resolution. With an awesome 20-60x range of magnification, a mammoth 80mm objective lens, and extra-low dispersion glass, you'll be looking through the very, very best.
- Extra-low dispersion glass for bright, color-correct and sharply-defined images throughout the powerful zoom range.
- Distinctive Broadband coatings reduce surface reflections for the most impressive images at high magnifications.
- Fully multi-coated optics increase the amount of light passing through the scope for even brighter, more detailed views.
The Skyline is an amazing scope for the grey light of early dawn when you need to pull fine details out of hazy scenes and shadowy woodlands.
Exceptional zoom range.
Watching animals from a distance is even easier with the Skyline spotting scope's powerful zoom eyepiece. From near to far, the Skyline will impress you with crystal clear details and natural colors throughout the entire zoom range. This versatile 20-60x eyepiece lets you take in whole scenes, or zoom in for antler counts. Designed for comfort (even with eyeglasses), all you do is twist back the eyecup for pleasing, wide-field viewing.
Rugged construction you can count on.
State-of-the art technology works smoothly to deliver exceptional contrast through the 80mm Skyline spotting scope – perfectly suited for years of high quality, long-distance viewing. Enclosed in a robust, rugged housing, you'll be ready for any kind of weather or terrain with a most dependable scope.
- Complete waterproofing against the effects of dust, rain, sleet, and snow on the optics is certain due to tight O-ring seals.
- Clear fog proof viewing in sudden temperature changes is a reality because nitrogen purging prevents internal fogging of the lenses.
Straight eyepiece design
The straight eyepiece position works well when viewing downward from an elevated platform, such as a deck or patio. Many novice users also favor the more natural line of sight afforded by the straight eyepiece – especially when trying to follow wildlife on the move.

Eye relief in a spotting scope refers to the distance images are projected from the ocular lens to their focal point. Note: without proper eye relief, the eyeglass wearer will not see the full field of view.
