If you're looking for a premium spotting scope with exceptional optics, a streamlined lightweight body, and a unique ability to use standard 1.25" eyepieces, look no further than the GrandView ED 65mm Spotting Scope! Featuring Extra-low Dispersion lenses for bright, true color views with no false color, making this the ideal spotting scope for both bird and nature watching. The focuser features a 9:1 reduction knob, meaning you can quickly focus using the gross adjustment knob, then switch to the fine focus for that final critical adjustment, ensuring your targets are as sharp as possible. The most unique feature of the GrandView 65mm Spotting Scope is the 1.25" focuser itself. It includes a 16x-48x zoom eyepiece, but any standard 1.25" eyepiece will work, meaning you can customize your viewing experience with the exact eyepiece you want, maximizing field of view, eye relief, or magnification (the GrandView ED 65mm focal length is 346mm). The focuser uses a compression lock ring to hold your eyepiece securely in place, without marring the 1.25" barrel. The included zoom eyepiece features a wide 16x magnification at 2.6° field of view, and zooms all the way to 48x at 1.4°, as well as providing plenty of comfort for eyeglass wearers with 20mm-18mm eye-relief through that zoom range. The GrandView Spotting Scope is waterproof (using the included eyepiece), the optics are fully multi-coated for the best possible light transmission, and you can protect those lenses with the included case that allows the use of the spotting scope while attached to the tripod! All of these features in a spotter that weighs only 2.9 lbs.

Beginner Level - Suited for a wide range of uses, these products are simple to operate and set up. Some initial assembly may be required depending on the type of product. Optical instruments with this rating will have very good optical and mechanical quality. Great for families, young people, and folks who don't want to mess with equipment and complexity. Beginning level telescopes will show you countless lunar craters, Saturn's rings and a myriad of star clusters and nebulae! Referring to the manual is recommended.
Intermediate Level - These products offer higher performance and more advanced features than Level 1: Beginner models. They typically take a bit longer to learn and need some set-up or adjustments. But anyone with the slightest technical bent will have no problem getting familiar with these models. Referring to the manual is recommended.
Advanced Level - These products provide the best performance but may require more skill to master and appreciate. Optical instruments with this rating have exceptionally fine optics and mechanics. Some are easy to use but might be on the large or heavy side. Some are intended for specialized uses. These products will appeal to the more technically inclined. Referring to the manual is highly recommended.
Also commonly referred to as "power", magnification is a measure of how much closer an object appears when viewed through the instrument. For example, a 10x binocular will make an object appear 10-times closer than it would normally appear. An object positioned 100 yards away would appear as if it was just 10 yards away in a binocular with 10x magnification. The human eye is considered 1x magnification.
For telescopes, the optical diameter (also known as aperture) is the size of a telescope's main light-collecting lens or primary mirror, measured in millimeters or inches. Telescopes with larger optical diameters collect more light, which leads to an increase in brightness and image resolution compared to smaller instruments.
For binoculars, the optical diameter (also known as objective lens diameter) is the size of each of the front-facing objective lenses of a binocular measured in millimeters. Binoculars with larger objective lenses collect more light, which increases image resolution and brightness. Binoculars with larger objective lenses are recommended for low light situations, and binoculars with at least 50mm or larger objective lenses are recommended for pleasing astronomical observations at night.
The diameter of the circle of light exiting the binocular. Exit pupil is calculated by dividing the objective lens diameter by the binocular magnification. For example, a 10x50 binoculars has an exit pupil of 5mm (50/10=5). Knowing the exit pupil of a binocular can help determine the optimal binocular fro your needs. If a binocular exit pupil is larger than the dilation of the user's pupil, resolution is reduced since the maximum amount of light is not entering the eye. Typically under true dark adaptation a healthy human eye will dilate to approximately 7mm. This number can decrease with age and health factors.
Binocular lenses and prisms are often coated with anti-reflective material to minimize light loss as light travels through the multiple optical surfaces of a typical binocular. Coatings help maximize the amount of light transmitted through each glass surface of a binocular, so as much light as possible reaches the observer's eyes to provide a bright and sharp image.
Good lenses are at least "fully coated," with a single layer of magnesium fluoride coating applied to each air-to-glass lens surface. Multiple layers of coatings are even more effective; the term "multi-coated" means one or more air-to-glass lens surface has multiple coatings. "Fully multi-coated" optics are even better, meaning all lens surfaces have multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings applied for maximum light transmission and optimal image quality.
