It's considerably smaller, very portable and uses relatively low magnification - although for scopes with similar uses, it does have a considerably powerful magnification capability. Unlike the telescope, the spotting scope does not produce an upside down image of an object but instead presents an upright one. Among the manufacturers of spotting scopes, one of the most reliable is Yukon Advanced Optics, already a recognized name in the industry.

Spotting Scopes

Spotting scopes are a favorite instrument for use for observing wildlife and landscape. They are also often utilized for hunting, birding and general surveillance. Some scopes may even be designed to be mounted on a camera for taking photographs.

Yukon Advanced Optics manufactures high powered spotting scopes. Its 6-100 x 100, for example, is considered as one of the most powerful and efficient in the industry. The range of magnification it offers (magnifying objects at least 6x to 100 times its original size) allows the user to view objects from a distance of a mere 20 meters to several kilometers.

This spotting scope is excellent for daytime use, thanks to its multi-coated lenses and extendable sunshade that significantly cut down glare. The scope also features two objective lenses that may be interchanged easily, allowing the user to switch from viewing a nearby object using 25 mm lens to observing a distant object using a 100 mm lens. Changing viewing angles is also easy, thanks to its rotating eyepiece.

The Scout Series

One of Yukon Advanced Optics' most popular spotting scopes is the Scout series, a very reasonably priced piece of equipment. Designed after the foldable spyglass, the Scout spotting scope can be easily expanded to its total length and just as easily stored when folded.
