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.

The integrated objective lens protection stops glare and diffuses light as well as protects against rain and snow. The scope is very lightweight at only 1.100 g (38.8 oz), despite the fully rubberised armouring, making it easy to handle even in cold weather. Features a tilting tripod ring (ATS 65/ATS 65 HD models only) for setting to the preferred observation position. The standardized foot fits Swarovski tripods without an additional plate or all tripods with 1/4" and 3/8" threads. The scope also has an internal focus for dustproof and watertight qualities and has no fogging thanks to nitrogen filling, protected against infestation of fungus. An easy-grip ergonomically-positioned focusing ring with larger grooves for quick and precise focusing.
