Swarovski CTS 85

The new extended CTS 85 is the successor model to the CT 85. With the many improvements to detail, this new telescope once again sets new standards. Particularly striking, however, are the new, more ergonomic design with full rubber outer casing, already a popular feature on other Swarovski telescopes, and also the special carrying harness. Furthermore, the CTS 85 boasts a wide selection of eyepiece lenses, so that users can be prepared for every possible observation situation.

Optics

• Swarobright coating: Optimum color fidelity and maximum light transmission for bright and clear images, whatever the light conditions.
• Full range of high quality eyepiece lenses and with a large field of vision.
• Cover to protect against dust, dirt and spray, when eyepiece is removed or during changeover.
• Scale for estimating distance.
• Bayonet fitting for rapid and simple lens changeover.

Focusing

• Rapid and precise focusing between 8 meters (26 ft) and infinity.

Usability

• Extremely compact construction: 24.6 cm (9.7 in) when collapsed fits comfortably in your jacket pocket.
• Extended length of 43.6 cm (17.2 in) – ideal for convenient setting up and quiet observation work, even without a tripod.
• Automatic locking system to prevent accidental unscrewing of the eyepiece lens.
• Special mechanism for constantly precise, jerk-free extension.
• Tripod connector thread for 1/4" and 3/8" bolts.
• Special carrying harness designed so that hands remain free when on the move; it also ensures rapid deployment and protects against moisture and dirt.

Robustness

• Shock- and sound-damping rubber armoring. Non-reflective and pleasant to handle even in cold weather.
• Filter system for cleaning air. Keeps dust and dirt out, for clean, clear lenses inside.
