Orion ULX 66mm ED Zoom Spotting Scope – Product Warranty: One year
Product Type: Orion > Orion Spotting Scopes
If spotting scopes were luxury automobiles, “Cadillac” would be an appropriate reference for this high-end 66mm scope, featuring fully multi-coated optics throughout. The ULX 66 is built with a 2-element air-spaced doublet, utilizing high-quality ED optical glass to deliver sharp, contrasty images virtually free of chromatic aberration. The 8-element zoom eyepiece, angled at a comfortable 45 degrees, provides 16x to 50x magnification, with a close focus at 21 feet. This powerful zoom capability is further enhanced by the dual-speed (11:1) focuser, which allows precise adjustment for crisp, clear images. As durable as it is stylish, the ULX 66 sports a waterproof rubber-armored body with retractable lens shade, for reliable performance even in the most challenging of weather conditions. Extras such as long eye relief, and a rotatable spotter truly help to make this scope “one of the finer things” any hobbyist could own. Weighs just 3 lbs., 9 oz. Includes rugged view-through case for easy storage and transport. One-year limited warranty.
