"A spotting scope is a portable telescope, optimized for
the observation of terrestrial objects. The magnification of a
spotting scope is typically on the order of 20X to 60X. Other
common features include:
- Somewhat "rugged" or rubber-armored design
- Convenient mounting for attaching to a tripod
- Ergonomically designed and located knob for focus
control
- Tethered elastomeric lens cap
- A range of eyepieces to give different magnifications,
or a variable "zoom" eyepiece to give a range of
magnifications (e.g. 20-60X)
The light gathering power of a spotting scope is
determined by the width of the objective lens, typically between
55 and 80 mm. All else being equal, the larger the objective,
the more heavy and expensive the telescope.
There are three types of scope: "straight-through" (the
eyepiece is on the same axis as the body of the scope), "angled"
(the eyepiece is at an angle of about 45 degrees to the body of
the scope), and, rarely, a more complex, shoulder-mounted
design. Straight-through scopes are easier to use from inside a
vehicle while angled scopes are more comfortable for tall people
and more easily shared by people of different heights.
The choice of the eyepiece lens determines the overall
magnification. The best magnification is decided by a number of
factors. Magnifications of less than 20X are unusual, as (much
cheaper and lighter) binoculars or monoculars can provide this.
Magnifications of more than 60X lead to poorer brightness and,
even on a tripod, shake can be a problem. The field of view is
also limited.
Usually for birdwatching, but spotting scopes are popular
when used in long range hunting mounted on a lightweight hunting
tripods. 20X or 30X are favored for birdwatching. 20x-60x
variable powers are used for long range hunting if combined with
solid mounting platforms. This gives a good field of view and a
bright image. Spotting scopes are also used on many target
ranges to avoid walking to the target to verify the placement of
hits." Complements of Wikipedia.
