Other tripods
The tripod base has a con-
necting thread of 3/8˝ UNC.
The inserted bush reduces
the connecting thread to
1/4˝. The observation teles-
cope thus fits on any standard tripod.
Operation
Remove the protective cap from the lens
• The objective lens is pro-
tected from dirt by a cap.
• To remove the cap, press
together the protruding
snap elements at the rim of
the cap.
Remove the protective cover
for the bayonet from the bayonet lock
To remove the cover, slide
the locking mechanism of
the eyepiece downward
and turn the protective
cover to the left (anti-clock-
wise).
Aiming aid
The mounted ai-
ming aid is desi-
gned to help you
align the tele-
scope with the
subject to be
observed.
If you do not need the
mounted aiming aid, please
pull it out and insert the
cover supplied.
Attachment and detachment
of the eyepiece
• Remove the protective
cap for the bayonet from
the eyepiece by screwing it
to the left (anti-clockwise).

• Align the marking on the
eyepiece with the marking
on the bayonet fitting.
• Insert the eyepiece and
turn it to the right (clock-
wise) until the locking
mechanism of the body clicks into the eyepiece.
• To remove the eyepiece,
press the locking mecha-
nism of the body downward
and turn the eyepiece to
the left (anti-clockwise)
until it can be removed.
Adjustment of the screw-in-typ eye cup
Use without eyeglasses:
Turn the eye cup (counter-
clockwise) until it stops.
Use with eyeglasses:
Turn the eye cup (clock-
wise) until it stops.
Use of the 20-60x zoom eyepiece
To change magnification:
Turning the adjustment ring
to the right (clockwise)
decreases magnification
(down to 20x).
Turning it to the left
increases the magnification (up to 60x). You will
be able to read the magnification above the index
point.
Focusing
• For distant objects, turn
the adjustment ring for
focusing to the right (clock-
wise).
• By turning the adjust-
ment ring to the left (anti-
clockwise), you can observe objects that are
nearer.
• In order to ensure fatigue-free observation, turn
the adjustment ring for focusing a bit to the left
(anti-clockwise) until the image becomes slightly
unsharp. Then turn the adjustment ring to the
right (clockwise) until the maximum image defini-
tion is attained for the first time.
• To retain the image definition over the entire
range of magnification, you should carry out
sharp focusing using the zoom eyepiece with the
highest magnification.

Changing the viewing angle
• Turn the locking screw to
the left (anti-clockwise) to
unlock the tripod ring in
position.
• With the scope on a
tripod, turn the body of the
scope to the desired vie-
wing position. The ATS will
click into place at: 0˚, ±45˚,
±90˚. The STS will click into
place at: 0˚, ±90˚.
• Turn the locking screw to
the right (clockwise) to lock
the tripod ring in position.
Using the sunshield
The integrated, extendable
sunshield keeps away dis-
turbing lateral light and pro-
tects the objective lens
from rain.
The sunshield is best slid
out and in with a slight rotary motion.
It snaps in when extended as well as when
retracted.
The protective cap for the objective lens can also
be used when the sunshield is extended.
Disassembly of the protective cap
for the eyepiece
The protective cap for the
eyepiece is attached to the
eyepiece with a cord. By
loosening the screw on the
eyepiece with a screw-
driver, you can remove the
cord with the cap from the eyepiece. Please
reinsert the screw.
After using the observation telescope
• Please put the protective cap for the objective
lens back on.
• In order to protect the cover glass in the bayo-
net fitting, leave the eyepiece mounted and pro-
tect it by putting on its protective cap or close the
bayonet fitting with the cover provided for this
purpose.
Maintenance and Care
Lens-cleaning cloth
You can clean high sensitive lens surfaces with
the enclosed special cloth made of micro-fibres.
It is suitable for objective lens, ocular lens and
eye-glasses.
Please keep the cloth clean, as dirt can damage
the lens surface. If the cloth gets dirty, it can be
washed in luke-warm soapy water and air-dried.
Please use it exclusively for cleaning lens sur-
faces!

Cleaning
We have designed all elements and surfaces to
require little care. To ensure the long-lasting opti-
cal brilliance of your telescope, you should keep
the glass surfaces free of dirt, oil and grease.
When cleaning the lenses, first remove larger
particles with an optical lens brush. For the sub-
sequent thorough cleaning we recommend
breathing onto the lens surface to form a coat of
condensation and then cleaning it with a soft,
moist cloth.
The housing is best cleansed with a soft, moist
cloth (don’t use the lens-cleaning cloth).
In the event of hard-to-remove dirt (e.g. sand) the
eye cups can be unscrewed and cleaned very
easily.
Storage
You should keep your teles-
cope in a well-ventilated
and dark place.
If the instrument is wet, it
must be dried prior to
storage.
During longer stays in tropical regions with a high
degree of humidity the best place to store the
instrument in is an air-tight receptacle along with a
moisture-absorbing agent (e.g. silica gel).
Non-stick effect thanks to Easy to Clean. Ob-
vious cleaning advandage in the case of dirt
such as water marks, insect repellents and tree
resin.
Easy to Clean coating is not available in North
America.
Notice
Eyepieces of the Swarovski AT and ST 80 tele-
scopes fit mechanically into the bayonet lock of
the main bodies of the ATS and STS 65/80. But the
best optical imaging is ensured if eyepieces of the
new S series are used.
All data are typical values.
