Vortex Skyline Straight 80mm Impressive in low light The Skyline is an amazing scope for those low light hours when wildlife is most active. In the grey light of early dawn, when you hear frogs, birds, or the rustle of some critter in the brush, the large 80mm objective lens really works hard for you by grasping all the light you need to pull fine details out of hazy scenes and shadowy woodlands. 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. 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 in challenging viewing situations. Enclosed in a robust and rugged housing, you'll be ready for any kind of weather or terrain imaginable with this 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 fogproof viewing in sudden temperature changes is a reality because the nitrogen purged optics prevent internal fogging of the lenses. Straight eyepiece design The straight eyepiece position of the Skyline spotting scope works well when viewing downward from an elevated platform, such as a deck or patio. The more natural line of sight of the straight eyepiece is favored by many novice users trying to follow wildlife on the move. The Skyline also features a tripod mounting collar that lets you rotate the scope body to virtually any angle you prefer — especially useful for viewing with car window mounts.
