Carl Zeiss Diascope 65 T FL Fluorite Spotting Scope w Tripod, Case, Pistol Grip

I used the scope for occasional birding, but recently moved from a small town in Central Virginia to a big city, where I won't have an opportunity to use it very often. So I've decided to sell it. Here's what's included.

The zoom is 15-45x when used with the Diascope 65, and 20-60x if used on the Diascope 85. Zips front and back for use. Manfrotto 190XB Aluminum Field Tripod. This one is black and in beautiful condition. Manfrotto 3265 Grip action ball head with quick release plate.

This is a pistol grip that allows you to rapidly position the spotting scope. Comes with a quick release plate that stays mounted to the telescope. I first saw this combination of products when I took a class "Introduction to Field Ornithology". These were the products used by my professor. The telescope has a 4-element Fluourite lens.

It gives OUTSTANDING color correction, and edge-to-edge field flatness. I really like the 65 mm spotting scope. It's much smaller/lighter than the 85 mm, so is much easier to transport.

The 85 mm telescope gives you a bit more magnification, but is a real bear to carry.
