Adjustable 20–60x zoom eyepiece

The Skyline features a versatile 20–60x eyepiece that brings
distant details into view.
Refocusing is normally
required when you change the
magnification.

• Increase magnification by turning the
adjustment ring to the left (counter-clockwise).
• Decrease magnification by turning the
adjustment ring to the right (clockwise).

The Skyline allows fine-tuning for fatigue-free viewing.

Dual focus dial

This fitted lens hood acts as an effective shield against stray

light. It also helps keep the
objective lens free of soiling
caused by raindrops or
fingerprints.

Extendable sunshade

• Slowly turn the coarse
focus dial until the subject
is nearly in focus.
• Turn the fine focus dial to
capture all the details.

Maintain the optical brilliance of the Skyline spotting scope by
keeping the lens surfaces free of dirt, dust, and oils.

Caring for the Lenses

Make use of the case, tethered objective lens cover and eyepiece
cover to protect the Skyline spotting
scope.

Keep Lenses Clean.

Along with normal use comes the need
to clean the spotting scope lenses.
Follow these guidelines for cleaning:

1. Remove any dust or grit from lenses before wiping.

Use a can of pressurized air or soft camel hair brush
(acrylic optical brushes also work well).

2. Clear lens of smudges, fingerprints, or eyelash oil.

Fog the lenses with your own breath and wipe with the
non-abrasive lens cloth included with the Skyline spotting
scope.

Cleaning fluid and optical paper can also be used. However, you should
never use facial tissue, heavy cotton, or flannel clothing on lenses—
these materials can scratch the lens surfaces.
