Horizon ED 22-68 x 90 outdoor spotting scope - high end
... Nitrogen purged - rubber armoured - for rough outdoor use


HORIZON spotting scopes are characterized by exceptional optics. The good internal blackening and the manufacturer's best multi coatings lead to a bright and high-contrast picture. Due to the ED-apochromatic objective, the colour fringes are reduced to aminimum thus leading to a very clear and crisp image.

Very robust mechanical craftmanship - for tough outdoor use:

The HORIZON 90 is a spooting scope designed for a rough environment. The robust aluminium body is protected by a rubber armour making it resisting even heavier shocks. The nitrogen purged interior prevents the inner optical surfaces from dew. Even in rain, observations are possible.
An aperture of 90mm gathers 26% more light compared with an 80mm competitor. Analog to this, the image becomes brighter. This is ideal for difficult light condition like observations in twilight.

45° angled viewing position:

The HORIZON spotting scopes have a very comfortable viewing position that is also suitable for eyeglass wearers. The eyepiece is tilted by 45° and can be turned by 360° thus giving the liberty of any viewing position from the top and from the side.
