Photography with this spotting scope
The TS-Optics BW80Z is ready for digiscoping. With the optional camera adapter for the BW80Z, you can take beautiful photos through the spotting scope and use it as telephoto lens. The adapter can be found in the accessories section.

The adaption could not be easier: Screw the camera adaptor on the zoom and then attach your digital camera with the optional T2 ring or objective adapter (if you don´t have a camera with interschangeable lens) and you can take great photographs through the spotting scope.

The magnification factor of the zoom is kept here - the spotting scope turns into a telephoto lens with a variable focal length between approx. 400 mm and 1200 mm.

Special features in detail:

1.25" eyepiece connection with locking system

The 1.25" eyepiece connection is established at professional telescopes for quite some time. The advantages are obvious. You can quickly change eyepieces and have the complete range of professional eyepieces at hand.

For example, you can achieve 120x magnification with the planetary eyepiece HR4.

How do I calculate the magnification?

That is very easy. The spotting scope has a focal length of 480 mm. Just divide the spotting scope´s focal length by the focal length of the eyepiece and obtain the magnification.

Example: 480mm / 4mm (focal length of HR 4 eyepiece) = 120x

Coarse focusing and fine focusing for perfect sharpness

Use the coarse focusing for quick viewing. When birding, for example, you have to change the focal plane quickly for not missing the motif.

At the same rotary knob, you have the micro transmission for observing something in detail. Especially in photography through the spotting scope, exact focusing is very important for perfect results.

The carrying bag:

The provided bag is more than just a container. Of course, the padded bag will perform this task very well.

But can also mount the spotting scope onto a tripod with the bag. The coverings of lens, eyepiece and focusing are opened, the rest of the spotting scope stays protected. Thus the operation in very humid environmental conditions is possible, for example when hunting. The tripod is not included.

Versatile tripod connection and 360° click-stop rotation:

The tripod connection of the BW80Z spotting scope is elaborate, too. It offers a 360° click-stop rotation if the insight should be at the side instead of at top.

The connector offers three 1/4" photo threads, so you can better balance the spotting scope or even attach it to many astronomical mounts by using an optional dovetail bar.
