2 ATX / STX SWAROVISION
TAKING FUNCTIONALITY TO A NEW LEVEL
X FOR NEXT GENERATION: A totally new generation that stands out because of its modular design. For the first time, the telescope’s performance can be changed through the size of the objective lens.
X FOR MAXIMUM EASE OF USE: The zoom and focusing features are arranged right next to each other, dramatically increasing the speed and ease of use. Another bonus is the specially developed digiscoping solutions.
X FOR FLEXIBLE: A trip to the tropics poses different challenges for a telescope than watching birds on mud flats or at the coast. This is precisely what the ATX/STX telescopes were developed for. There is a variety of modules available to choose from: 25-60x65, 25-60x85 and 30-70x95. This means that, depending on the application, there is a variety of zoom ranges available, with a large field of view as well as flexible dimensions and weight.
X FOR EXCELLENT: Outstanding image quality with superior SWAROVISION technology. This allows the user to enjoy exceptional contrast, bright images and true-to-life colours in the whole field of view.
Moments like these are unique: breathtaking coastal cliff lines offering magnificent biodiversity. Or journeys of discovery that set the pulse of every birdwatcher and nature lover racing.
We know exactly how precious and unique these moments are. This is because we’ve experienced the same feeling on countless field trips. We do everything to create moments like these so that you can enjoy them to the full, by providing equipment that wonderfully fuels your curiosity and desire for discovery. SWAROVSKI OPTIK has reinvented the telescope to make observing even easier and more flexible.
By users, for users. Inspired by the slogan “Constantly improving what is good,” the SWAROVSKI OPTIK R&D department has successfully set, in close collaboration with users, new standards for telescopes in terms of ease of use, optical performance, modular design and flexibility.
This has led to the development of a world first:

INGENIOUS SYSTEM The new modular design offers previously unimagined flexibility and you are free to choose the perfect solution as the situation dictates. In collaboration with experts we have developed digiscoping adapters that open up a new realm of ways in which to observe and share the most beautiful moments. Perfectly designed down to the smallest detail, you will be equipped for any situation.
EASY TO TRANSPORT
Not a gram too heavy for top optical performance. Size and weight is the name of the game for all those who like to travel or spend long days in the field. The ATX/STX series means that bulky telescopes that are difficult to pack and heavy to carry are a thing of the past. The modular design enables you
to store the objective and eyepiece modules separately and the smaller dimensions also mean that you can easily and safely store individual modules in your luggage.

JUST ONE HAND When every second counts. Imagine a plover flitting over the shore one minute and taking off into the sky the next. The ATX/STX telescopes ensure that you are prepared for moments like this. This is because the new position of the zoom ring, which is now directly behind the focusing ring, makes it easier to handle. It means that you can zoom and focus with one hand, while steering the telescope direction with the other. This completely new ergonomic design offers a crucial benefit for digiscopers in particular. They can now use the camera quickly, easily and accurately with one hand, while the other concentrates on zoom and focus.

A COMPLETE VIEW
Nothing escapes you. You have your eyes trained on a flock of dunlins, but you catch something at the edge of the picture. A rarity? Thanks to their wide field of view, the ATX/STX telescopes
provide you with a broader, more exciting platform for your viewing experience. In spite of their high zoom range, the new generation of telescopes offers a large field of view. This allows you
to achieve optimum magnification and detail recognition and also makes it extremely easy for you to search for and find objects, especially if they are in motion.

OPTICAL PERFECTION – INSPIRED BY NATURE“Groundbreaking” is the verdict of everyone who looks through a telescope based on SWAROVISION technology for the first time. We say: It’s simply the best on the market in terms of precision, functionality and design.

MAXIMUM CONTRASTCONTRAST RIGHT UP TO THE EDGE
EYE RELIEF PLUS MAXIMUM COLOUR FIDELITYHD OPTICSA highly innovative optics design combined with fluoride-containing HD lenses minimise interfering colour fringing.
This enables maximum colour fidelity and leads to a significant improvement in resolution and contrast. The result: an even more lifelike, contrast-rich image.
FIELD FLATTENERThis type of image definition has never been achieved before in any other telescope, thanks to the field flattener lenses creating a virtually flat image. Even the finest structures are
reproduced with razor-sharp clarity right up to the edge with no need for constant refocusing. The result: every detail is instantly captured, producing a perfect image without any distortions.
STANDARDWithout HD lenses, interfering colour fringing can occur
Absolute brilliance with fluoride-containing HD lenses
STANDARDImage using a regular telescopePerfect image with ATX/STX SWAROVISION
LARGE FIELD OF VIEW EVEN FOR SPECTACLE WEARERSSWAROVISION features a long eye relief and the removable twist-in eyecup is individually adjustable. The result: even spectacle wearers can enjoy a large field of view, not to
mention the inimitable edge sharpness. An additional eyecup has been specially developed for spectacle wearers to further increase viewing comfort.
OPTIMISED COATINGSThe enhanced lens and prism coatings (SWARODUR & SWAROTOP) give noticeably better colour reproduction combined with even greater transmission. SWAROCLEAN
coatings on the outer lens surfaces create a non-stick effect, making it easier to clean. The result: even more impressive observing experiences, even in low light.

SO ACTIVE NEW ATX/STX 25-60x65: THE COMPACT TRAVELLER
Anyone who enjoys travelling or long days in the field needs a telescope that is compact and light. This telescope is perfect for anyone looking for outstanding optical performance, a large field of view
and impressive close-range focusing, even with a relatively small 65-mm objective lens diameter.

This telescope can do it all. No matter whether it’s taken on your travels or if you’re spending all day in the reed beds, with the 85-mm telescope you are well equipped for every situation. This is the
best choice for anyone wanting to travel light and who also appreciates outstanding quality. Its light transmission, zoom range and close focus (2.1 m/6.9 ft) make it the perfect digiscoping tool.

SO INTENSE NEW ATX/STX 30-70x95: THE PERFECT FRONTIERSMAN
There’s never been anything like it: a spotting scope with such outstanding detail resolution and up to 70x magnification. This even pushes optical tests to their limits. Despite the 95-mm objective lens,
this is a slim telescope weighing in at just 2 kilograms (75 oz). In a nutshell, it ticks all the boxes for any birder wanting to discover an albatross gliding past an oceanic headland.

THE BIG PICTURETHE NEW DIGISCOPING ADAPTERS:PERFECT SYSTEM THINKINGAnyone who observes an exciting scene, finally spots a rare bird or a shy otter after a long wait, or experiences a magnificent spectacle of nature has just one wish: to hold onto this unforgettable moment forever. One of the outstanding features of the new digiscoping adapters is their ease of use, since they have been developed in close cooperation with enthusiastic digiscopers and undergone numerous field tests. The result: simple, lightning-quick use.

SO EXCEPTIONAL NEW TLS APO: FOR THE DISCERNING PRO
The right choice for anyone who appreciates top-quality digiscoping; no matter whether you’re quickly switching between observing and taking photos or waiting in a photo hide to take the perfect close-up of an otter.
This is precisely why the TLS APO was developed as a complete system with the new ATX/STX telescopes. Its excellent optical quality and 30-mm focal length make it particularly attractive to the most discerning of digiscopers.
SO UNCOMPLICATED NEW DCB II SWING ADAPTER: SIMPLE AND SPONTANEOUS
Whether you want to shoot a short video of a shy, rarity or snap a kingfisher that suddenly appears; with the DCB II swing adapter you can now capture these moments forever. The DCB II is distinctive in terms of its easy handling and can be used particularly quickly thanks to its slick design.
