SnS comment:

Stunning APO optics and beautiful engineering mechanics make this scope a joy to use. This small spotting scope is one of the best kept secrets in the Astronomy community! Hardly anyone in wildlife and bird observing circles is aware of the stunning performance delivered by scopes like the ED66. If you are looking for a grab and go spotting scope - with absolute tip-top performance there is simply nothing better (and more fun!) than this power-packed little scope. But don't be fooled by the diminutive size - this power-packed instrument has serious 'big-spotting-scope' features! I particularly like the superb twin speed focuser - normal birding scopes just don't have anything to touch it!

Included: 2x top quality eyepieces

Supplied complete with 2x SPL eyepieces (15x and 38x) and a 45 degree 1.25" terrestrial viewing prism. Quite unlike most spotting scopes, a vast array of alternative eyepieces is available for the ED66 and a 90 degree prism is available as well as a wide range of photography accessories (see recommendations, below left).

Note: To determine magnification of additional accessory eyepieces simply divide the focal length - expressed in millimetres (mm) of the eyepiece into 388 (the focal length in mm of the ED66). For example: the magnification of the scope when used with the 6mm would be just over 64x (388/6=64.6).

The Adler ED66 includes a 1.25" eyepiece adaptor with brass inset. The telescope has a fully retractable dew-shield as well as 10 internal anti-reflection baffles and all glass surfaces are fully multi-coated.

Includes metal front cap and deluxe die-cut foam filled storage and carry-case. The body of the scope is fitted with a tripod mounting foot and can be fitted to any good quality camera tripod with a standard 1/4" thread fitting.
